You may feel like taking on leadership responsibilities which could make you feel a greater sense of importance today. Being able to manage other people might be a way for you to demonstrate not only the creativity that but also the compassion that you have for other people. If you can remember that a true leader is one who listens and inspires, you may find it easier to direct others without being too authoritative. Perhaps reminding yourself to take the time to really hear other people out and respond to their needs, you could notice that both your ideas and your direction can be received much more positively. Taking the time to really be with others instead of trying to get your own way could make you a more effective leader as well as pave the way for creating a much more effective team as a whole today.

Our ability to lead stems from our capacity for understanding the wants and needs of those around us. It is not enough just to assert our will on others, for when we do we are not really managing a situation but rather dominating or controlling it. Since we can never really have complete control over a situation or other people, it is much more important to 'be' with others, that is, to pay attention to what their deepest concerns are and to respond to those in the best possible manner for everyone. By listening to and understanding others today, you will lead not only with confidence, but also with compassion.
