Others

If you had to distill the secrets of leadership down to only one word, what do you think that one word would be? What one word unlocks the power of leadership? Is it charisma? Vision? Commitment?

Over a century has passed since his death, but his remarkable legacy continues today through the many good works of the Salvation Army. The story goes that on his deathbed, surrounded by family, frail and unable to speak, Booth mustered up just enough strength to scribble one final message on a scrap piece of paper before passing away moments later. The message had only one simple word – others.
