About This Quote

Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God. This quote is a brilliant way to capture the essence of leadership. Leadership is a mixture of courage and humility. It involves accepting that you cannot change other people, but if you have the courage to accept their weaknesses and accept that they do not have all of the answers, then you have a strong foundation on which to build a relationship with them.

In turn, this relationship forms a bond between you and those who follow you as your followers will trust you as their leader. When those who follow you trust you because of those qualities, they will be more willing to trust you with their lives because they have faith in your ability to protect them from harm.
