During times of knee-buckling, gut-wrenching change, like the recent Super-Storm, Hurricane Sandy, that devastated significant parts of the eastern seaboard, we receive a collective wake-up call about what is most fundamental and enduring in our lives. In times of crisis, we feel called to lead, to remind others and ourselves what is important. Managers may remind others about process and profit, but it is up to authentic leaders to remind us of essential life principles.
