"Leadership is at once obvious and mysterious. Like Aikido, leadership
is a mind-body-spirit discipline calling us to create conditions that allow
others to contribute effectively and whole-heartedly. From childhood to
old age, leadership is a function that touches all of our lives, offering endless
opportunities to refine our capacity to lead and be led."
- from the Foreword by Wendy Palmer
"As leaders, we can waste energy assigning blame for the escalating complexities
of today's leadership challenges, or we can begin to find solutions."
"Leading people
demands active participation.
The skill cannot be learned by watching
from the sidelines."
True victory does not come from defeating an enemy, true victory comes from giving love and changing an enemies heart.
The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.
Aikido is love. It is the path that brings our heart into oneness with the spirit of the universe to complete our mission in life by instilling in us a love and reverence for all of nature.
The penetrating brilliance of swords, wielded by followers of the Way, strikes at the evil enemy, lurking deep within, their own souls and bodies.
