We wrapped up with 6 minutes to spare — we attempted a ring of fire holding 6 inches and doing flutter kicks. This was hard and YHC had originally intended to go to 13 but we stopped at 5 because it was dumb.

Finished things off with LBC x 30

> What does it take to Lead Right?

• First we must articulate what is a leader?
Leadership is Influencing Movement to Advantage.

• What does it take to be an effective leader?
It requires skill. The skills are: Vision Articulation Persuasion Exhortation (V.A.P.E)

At this point we point out the there is a difference between an effective leader and a virtuous leader. History has shown us many effective leaders who don’t posses the characteristics of virtue. Just look at Hitler — he was a very effective leader, but he did not exemplify virtuosity.

So what are [the] characteristics of a virtuous leader?

Candor, Commitment, Consistency, Contentment, and Courage.

On the flip side of this.. a virtuous leader will not get far if he is not effective.

In order to Lead Right you must be effective AND Virtuous.
