SItuational Leadership and Success Coaching

Leadership is defined as “someone who guides or directs a group.”  There are many ways to do this.  The most visible and probably the most ineffective is to yell at people until they do something that looks like what you want them to do.  That works once.  But true situational leadership – that focuses on the group, the conditions, and the goals – is a much more effective and long lasting method of leadership.

Some of my favorite ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN Quotes

All of these are by the Nobel Prize winning – and unfortunately largely forgotten – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: 

1. “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”

2. “In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”

3. “To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail.”

4. “Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains … an unuprooted small corner of evil. 

Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.”
