A good spot for some solitude
Firstly, let me apologise for not posting in the last few weeks. Put it down to a clever, circumnavigating cold that sailed its way around the map of my family during the month of May. It brought with it some nasty weather.
Anyway, I'm back on deck now and have plenty of ideas lined up and waiting to be written. In the meantime, I'd like to share this article with you from The American Scholar: http://www.theamericanscholar.org/solitude-and-leadership/
It's an address given to military students at West Point and it has some fantastic insights about what a true leader is and how they behave (and how they don't). I'd definitely encourage you to read it.
The address is in-line with much of my thinking on the topic of leadership, in that you must find yourself if you ever want to become an accomplished leader. Whether you achieved a PHD or a D in every subject you ever took, as a leader you'll be measured not on the knowledge you possess but on your certainty of self.
What do you think?
