Many might admit to external rewards like money, recognition, status, or power. But for the heart-centered leader, the one I’ve been describing for the past few weeks, the fourth virtue of TRUE leadership is an intrinsically motivated Drive.

Just as the other virtues of Selflessness, Courage, and Integrity come from within, so does one’s Drive to not only succeed, but to lead.

True leaders are conscious of the importance of walking the walk, not just talking the talk, to set the best example and create the most valuable experiences for those with whom they work, clients and team members alike. They are driven by an inherent understanding of the fact that you reap what you sow, and to them a great harvest is not equated with financial gain.
