#088 Improve Your Business by Becoming a Soulful Leader

Soulful leaders are interested in motivating from the bottom up, not from the top down. They know who cleans their office, who mows the lawn, who fixes their computers, who serves the food; they know the secretaries and the receptionists.

Soulful people lead balanced lives, work with intensity, play with abandonment, but they also know how to turn down the dial and simply enjoy life.
