continuation from “Things Leaders Must Do.”
(For New Readers. You can read archived T.O.T.D. in www.inevermetmymother.com)
Leaders have transcended the need for revenge.
Their first goal is to make things better for the other person or group.
The other’s benefit is their utmost concern. That does not mean they have no interest in their own benefits. It simply means that in their treatment of others, their goal is to do well by them regardless of how they are treated. They don’t play fair; they play right,
Revenge is for immature people. Mature leaders know that ultimately the offending person is going to get what he deserves without anyone else bringing it about. God and the universe have a way of making it happen, as does the natural law of sowing and reaping. But even this ultimate payback is not something leaders wish on another person, and that is the hallmark of their character. They truly want the best for others, even those who do not do well by them.
