Summary

Do you want to be forceful or magnetic?

As a parent, boss, neighbor, leader of any kind…

Do you want to be a megawatt lightbulb, or do you want to be like the sun? Do you want to be ego-gripped or soul-infused? We're all here for the same reason. To lead from the heart. To lead like the sun.

Episode 144 of With Love, Danielle is bringing you thoughts on what it takes to lead from the heart and to be generous in how we govern.

With Love,
Danielle

My loves. This is episode 144 and it's all about leadership, what it is, what it isn't.

0:08.5

I remember coming across the concept of servant leadership, quiet leadership, and it actually

0:15.9

kind of scrambled my brain, I thought. Aren't leaders loud, colorful, vivacious, dynamic and out and front?

0:24.8

Aren't those some of the key characteristics of being effectual? And the answer is not always.

0:31.3

So this is a discussion about how unchecked ego can look like shiny, effectual leadership, but is actually destructive

1:42.4

the ego as a foe, a false leader.

1:48.0

Lots of people in society-sanctioned leadership roles in politics, business, educators, moms and dads, coaches, mayors, social media, quote-unquote, influencers.

2:01.7

But they're not necessarily governing from higher consciousness,

even though they are in society-sanctioned leadership roles.

2:10.7

What we often have is a masquerade of wisdom or knowledge.

2:16.7

And this acting like a leader, it can happen from lots of people,
