True Leadership
Some leaders and politicians use devices that make them apperar to be comfortable around all types of people. These leaders use methods to change theirl appearances and attitudes to fit the situation, placing emphasis on the seeming interest they have in a particular culture or the problems facing the group they are addressing. Non-Native cultures call this ability "the common touch."
The Native American Ancestors tested their leaders, insisting that their leaders saw themselves as a part of the Circle instead of being above the people. These leaders served the people through their generosity of spirit and their ability to listen and make wise decisions. These leaders served through the understanding that no person was common-all were extraordinary. Each individual was important, and all leaders knew that they could not lead through example unless they humbly loved the humaity represented in every human being.
If you have placed yourself above others instead of being an equal part of the Circle of Life, you may want to adjust your perspective. Leading through example is a road that only the authentically humble can actually master.
