You cant lead, anyone, without knowing who you are.
The Starting Point
![Page 15: Fearless Leadership - Sri Sakti India Leadership Summit, CBE March 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5457264ab1af9fb66e8b51bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
