The illusion of leadership

“The great illusion of leadership is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.”

Nouwen, Henri J.M.  The Wounded Healer- Ministry in Contemporary Society, IMAGE BOOKS DOUBLEDAY, NYÓ Copyright 1972 by Henri J.M. Nouwen  P.72

  1. I agree. I love it! And I just blogged about this tonight, the leadership thing in contrast to followership. I’m gonna quickly go do an edit and direct my readership to this quote. I’ll give ’em a teaser.

    Blessings to you and that wonderfully warm wife of yours!
