A friend recently posted a quote from an unknown source on his social media page. It stated that a person who cannot give up anything can change nothing. In the comments that followed, he explained his reason for agreeing with the original author stating that even a small act of kindness required courage, risk, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n

This got me thinking about how Great Leaders view small acts of kindness. They do not, in my opinion, see them as a sacrifice; of time, of resources, of value. Rather, I believe that Great Leaders see these acts as investments in others.<\/p>\n

Great Leaders take the positive point of view that they do not pay the cost of something; that they somehow have lost value or been diminished for having helped another. Great Leaders recognize that the giver in these situations is also enriched; been made to feel good about their act. Even better, Great Leaders know that they made a difference in the life of another. They do not need to know whether the difference was large or small; just that someone else benefited from their action.<\/p>\n

Lest we think that the Great Leader has provided this act of kindness for purely selfish reasons, ask yourself these questions …<\/p>\n
