Ikeda sensei guidances on leadership:-
Buddhism of True Cause teaches us that none of us can change yesterday. But in this moment the most precious of all through our thought, words and action we can transform anything. What is important is the ability to be 100% in the moment with the determination to use our LIFE CREATIVELY.
The difference between a leader and a tyrant is that a leader works hard for the sake of everyone else, while a tyrant makes others work hard for him.
Every person, no matter how accomplished, has shortcomings. Conversely, no matter how bad someone's negative tendencies, that person definitely has strong points. The key is to identify an individual's strengths and give him or her the opportunity to succeed.
An organization that is willing to change will thrive. It all starts from a leader who is willing to change him- or herself.
People who cease to grow can't inspire others. Leadership begins with challenging oneself.
Fighting spirit spreads like fire from one person to another. A leader's daring spirit will kindle flames of enthusiasm and inspire an entire organization.
