“The heart is great which shows moderation in the midst of prosperity.“ – Seneca
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
The humility shown by leaders like Calvin Coolidge and Marcus Aurelius is woefully absent in a modern world where politicians campaign on doing good, but, once in office, become far more interested in doing well. So too in the ranks of law enforcement.
To be a leader worth following, one must constantly ask themselves while ascending the career ladder, ‘Do I want this position to serve others or do I want this position to serve myself?’
We talk about what humble leadership looks like on today’s podcast!
