"Opportunities will be abundant for those who are ready. Be one of them. Be ready. During times of crisis, all ancient philosophies recommend self-examination, self-discipline, self-reliance and then, decisive action. Taoists and Stoics both tell us that chaos calls for inner calm and endurance, resilience, acceptance of 'what-is' and inner-wisdom to guide choices and decisions for what you can make happen. In today's leadership language, it means…a great leader never reacts, but observes, reflects and then…acts decisively. This is leading yourself through the eye of the storm. This is leading in the eye of the storm". - Brian Bacon, Chairman & Founder, Oxford Leadership |
