I recently revisited The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, and I was struck again by how timeless its wisdom is—especially when applied to leadership. Gibran’s reflections on service, humility, and responsibility speak to so many of the challenges leaders face today.
One passage that particularly resonated with me: "You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." It’s a powerful reminder that leadership is about more than just strategy or position; it's about giving your authentic self to uplift others.
As we navigate complex environments, Gibran’s words remind us to lead with integrity, vision, and compassion. Whether it's through empowering teams, embracing patience, or guiding others with humility, the principles in The Prophet remain as relevant as ever.
