     Many religious,  business,  politial,  scientific and
other  kinds  of leaders compete for favorable  attention;
and  seek to avoid unfavorable attention.   Many  of  them
seek to  be selected/elected  to  serve  in  positions  of
influence, power, and high levels or rewards/compensation.

     We  all  will  do well to  observe  their  behaviors,
actions,   choices,   and  manners of  service  ---   with
attention to observe what they  say  and  how  they try to
influence  others.    Do their actions match their  words?
Actions  speak more  reliably  than  do  words  spoken  or
written in efforts to mislead others.   We will do well to
keep  the following  kinds  of  questions  in  mind  as we
observe leaders'  words,  behaviors, actions,  choices and
manners of true-service and self-service.

1.  Do  the  leaders  demonstrate  the  virtues  of  true:
humility, honesty,  authenticity,  kindness,   joy,  hope,
civility,  patience,  hospitality, listening,  gentleness,
generosity,     balance,    mutuality,     responsiveness,
coherence,  integrity,   affirmations,    thoughtfullness,
analysis, grace and friendship?

2.  Do  the leaders  avoid being supportive  of  behaviors
which demonstrate and or promote:  arrogance,  dishonesty,
pretentiousness,     meanness,    despair,    hoplessness,
contentiousness,   impatience,   domination,  exclusivity,
violence, greed, extremism,  unilateralism,  secretivness,
combattivness,        disintegration,        denigrations,
thoughtlessness, confusion, cynicism OR enmity?

3.  What are  the  foci of the leaders'  affirmations  and
enduring constructive efforts?

4.  What  are  the  foci  of the leaders'  oppositions and
persistent denigrations??

5.  What  are  the characteristics of the people whom  the
leaders  most-often work-with and who most-often  support-
them?

6.  How  do  the  leaders  respond  to  and/or  deal  with
domineering people;  and what are the natural consequences
of their relationships with domineering people?

7.  How  do  the  leaders  frame-and-respond-to  questions
pertaining     to    personal-and-communal:     integrity,
integrations,   evil,   tolerance,   intolerance,   chaos,
coherence,  cooperation, competition,  balance, mutuality,
virtues,  vices, health, conflicts,  conflict-resolutions,
peacemaking, violence, resistance, controls, laws, orders,
management,    rebellion,   judgements,    reconciliation,
healing, and shalom?
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
