Dandelion leadership

Why on earth have I chosen a background image of a dandelion to start my blog with? Inspiration comes from meditation and observation so I might not have taken enough time for either one.

To start with I would state that both individuals and organizations share the same leadership urgency to pollinate their vision, if not themselves (no misunderstanding please). A good leader needs to clearly communicate his vision, generously share knowledge with his surroundings, kindly and eagerly learn from the bests through intellectual honesty, constantly remain flexible, teachable and open and restlessly develop a collaborative spirit amongst his collaborators.
Here we're spotting what could be the most crucial trait of a leader: humility. It takes humility not to hold knowledge and to accept that recipients might grow and surpass oneself. It takes meekness to embrace collaboration when so many past generations have overused of an authoritative and hierarchical working mechanism. It takes modesty to boldly enlarge one's ring of influence with a bigger concern for others' development and loyalty. It takes down-to-earthness to grasp the big picture of a better tomorrow when struggling through hazed horizons.

Meanwhile I've noticed that my 'dent-de-lion' comparison tends toward disastrous counter-productivity. Here is why and let me only jot a few disturbing aspects coming to mind, all of them needing no commentary! The first one is really not a good beginning for a leader or an organization: a dandelion has a void stem! Second a dandelion is consequently very fragile, easily broken and stomped without hope of second chance... Third and last before I get totally desperate: a dandelion's transmission is not very focused, only following the wind...

Well... will soon switch my background pic for an oak.
