Leadership starts with leading oneself before leading others. Purpose is a foundational aspect thereby. This chapter defi nes a perspective on leadership that may not be the most common one, but is highly identifi able for people of any age group and in any stage of life. It discusses fi ve interrelated qualities in fi nding our purpose: (1) awareness, which enhances the quality of decisions we make; (2) respect, which is an outfl ow of awareness and ensures proper treatment of others; (3) morality, which enables us to consider and deal with the consequences of our decisions; (4) vision, which guides our path and attracts others to it; and (5) understanding, which can help us adjust our direction if we fi nd it to become unfulfi lling. Cases are presented for each quality, discussing global and business leaders such as Muhammad Yunus; Princess Diana

领导首先要领导自己，然后再领导别人。因此，目的是一个基本的方面。这一章对领导力的观点提出了质疑，这种观点可能不是最常见的观点，但对于任何年龄段和生活阶段的人来说都是高度可识别的。它讨论了实现我们目标的五个相互关联的品质：（1）意识，它提高了我们所做决定的质量；（2）尊重，这是意识的一种输出，并确保正确对待他人；（3）道德，使我们能够考虑和处理我们的决定的后果；（4）远见，它指引着我们的道路，并吸引着其他人；以及（5）理解，它可以帮助我们调整方向，如果我们发现它变得不满足。每种品质都有案例，讨论全球和商业领袖，如穆罕默德·尤努斯、戴安娜王妃
