During the Six Day War fought in 1967 and all of Israel’s subsequent conflicts something quite strange is the norm. Here it is. Do not miss this. This could be HUGE. The Israeli officers suffer far more casualties than the enlisted ranks. Why? Because Israel teaches one primary leadership principle and it’s a good one.
“Follow me.”
God, I love this kinda stuff. No wonder they are such a tough, virtuous people. Remember, BTL aspires to teach similarly. We believe leaders follow three principles that align with another Jew named Jesus. We believe virtuous leaders attempt to act as follows:
Model the way.
Embrace pain and suffering.
Embody truth in LOVE.
What principles are you aspiring toward? How often are you leading from the front? Are your scars on your front side or back? Are you embracing more acute pain than those in your ranks? Does the unvarnished truth set you free or do you measure your words and spin some kinda bullshit that simply sounds good? Do you remember John Adams nightly prayer with his children? It’s some ccd freaking magic if you ask me. John cradled his candle in one hand, tenderly touched his babies with his other and reminded them to simply – “Be good. Do good.”
Thanks Israel, Jesus, and John. Thank you..
