Past is merged in the present of all of us; for
instance, look at the body and a person can even remember the type of food he
used to eat that helped to shape it.
Past defines people, or to put it more accurately,
many people allow their past to define their present state of existence.
But, for a leader, past does not limit who she or he
is, because leaders can change those traces that are not relevant to the
moment. After all, manage change and
being an agent of change is part of being a leader.
Because of that, past becomes a point of reference
from where a leader can take inspirations for improvement. The past serves to show the leader lessons to
be learnt, values to be kept and motivates him or her to make it better next
time.
When past ceases to be a place for nostalgia, it turns
into a source of teachings for life.
(Excerpt from the book 82 Reasons
to be a Leader)
