In the last July newsletter, we discussed true Shaolin students’ leadership characters. We shall further discuss the key leadership traits required to run a business or lead a team.
The leadership character demonstrates one’s ability to listen and explore another person’s view without sticking to one’s winner seeking mentality.
We, as Kungfu SWAT/leadership team members must acquire the aptitude in synergy to communicate with efficiency and compassion to constantly reconnect our actions with our mission so as to empower and enlighten everyone around us.
We ask questions, when we listen with full attention, to explore and appreciate the other person, to break down any conflict, and open up to the issue at its core. By exploring, we further communicate from our hearts and minds and demonstrate that we care about the other person’s view and care about reaching a compatible solution. We convey our original intention with compassion. This is the characteristics of LEAP communication: listen, explore, appreciate and present.

释德如 The Master Speaks
Today’s Teaching:
Dear Shaolin Institute Members, Families & Friends:
Let’s say a few words in Chinese:
少林精神，自修，自控，自尊，自悟
Shaolin Jingshen, Zi Xiu, Zi Kong,
Zi Zun, Zi Wu
Shaolin spirit is to cultivate ourselves daily without being informed, control ourselves daily without being alerted, respect ourselves without being obliged, enlighten and educate ourselves daily without being taught. We are the leaders in our community for healthy bodies and healthy minds so as to reach the harmonious humanity in our society.
