Socrates said, “Know thyself.” Flawless leaders know themselves flawlessly. It is the combination of truth and acceptance, an accurate view of the darkness as well as the light.
Accountability is NOT enforcing your will on another’s behavior; that is tyranny. Accountability is being responsible for our choices and responses, the realization that we are cause – not effect, the preemption of reaction with conscious considered commitment, the ownership of our part in the afflictions about which we complain.
Tim Galway’s research with tennis professionals proves that in order for humans to learn, adapt, and lead in constantly changing environments, they must accept themselves for who they actually are, not who they think they are or who they aspire to be. This level of effectiveness is impossible without embracing feedback and disagreement. When we stop learning and adapting, we fail. To lead, we must be the change we want to see in others.
Self-Awareness Self-Acceptance
Self-Accountability
Vulnerability and Openness
Authentic humility is the bedrock essence of a flawless leader. However strenuously we strive for relevance, we are rarely really relevant. Embracing irrelevance is a holy reverence for the equality of all humans. Most leaders are constantly in search of their own relevance and thus are chained to illogical and unarticulated fantasies of being God. Flawless leaders reject continuous relevance because they have chosen a lifelong submission to authentic service and meaningful purpose.

Wholeness requires conscious choice…
The thick irony is that leaving the prison of our former selves is the simple choice to walk through an already unlocked and open door.
Too busy driving to stop and get gas?
Stop the worshipful distraction of meaningless motion!
The power of a broken healer…
Authentic humility is the bedrock essence of a flawless leader. Yet most leaders are constantly in search of their own relevance and are chained to illogical and unarticulated fantasies of being God.
Flawless leaders serve purpose, not their own relevance…
Feeling lonely in a crowd?
Relationship is more important than measurement. Yet most managers spend more time on measurement than relationship building.
Who is part of your kingdom?
People are NOT means to an end, they are ends in and of themselves!
Prostituting your self-esteem is selling the opinion of your self-worth to the highest bidder.
Without first clarifying our identity and purpose, we spend much of our time hiding.
Is it that important for you to be honored?
Flawless leaders are not reasonable or diplomatic, they instead plunge us into the unabashed mysteries of potential, penetrate our limiting assumptions, disperse our self-denial and deceit, and call us to the the voice of truth.
