Written by Parker Palmer, an American author, educator, and activist. This is an excerpt from his book “Let Your Life Speak.”

A leader is someone with the power to project either shadow or light onto some part of the world and onto the lives of the people who dwell there. A leader shapes the ethos in which others must live, an ethos as light-filled as heaven or as shadowy as hell.

For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. [Ephesians 5:8]
