True leadership is one of my most PASSIONATE topics in life. And something I’m sure you’ve noticed just like I have… that is DRASTICALLY lacking in a lot of areas of life. And often times ‘Success’ actually gets in the way of true leadership.
Let me explain…
I’d love to hear your comments and thoughts below. Share your passion with everyone else who’s watching this video too!
And oh yea… here’s to you becoming part of the “New Era” in world leadership… an area where we finally see TRUE leadership. Not just cleverness, tactics, and ego’s running rampant… but actual genuine leadership based on a LOVE for everyone, and the DESIRE to give back incredibly to the earth, the planet, and everything else that makes us being ALIVE even possible.
Speak soon…
Jonathan Budd
P.S. Here’s where you can share this conversation with your twitter followers. And I would tweet or facebook this now to help spread the message of NEW leadership…
Good insight on leadership Jonathan. Especially when you let your ego take you down the wrong road. It’s been my experience that God has a funny way of keeping people in check.
Appreciate your leadership.

Great message Jonathan. It’s time to replace the old ways of politics, business, energy and education powered by the corporate few with new ideas from the good many of humanity. When we look inward, we need to focus the interests of the planet and future generations rather than profits.
Budd for President!

Mr Budd you have done it again, the truth always rings true. Your correct in all that you say, our worlds current leaders have led us into a numb state of which most are unaware. People of earth no longer have our connection with nature, they stripped us of this through the dark ages with the book burnings, and the murders of our true planetary leaders of a previous age. The people of earth need to wake up to what is, and rediscover our connection with the isness. True reality has been veiled by jobs, fake education, media, and the brainwashing of our society to turn us into passive observers who are at the whim of the powerful elite who are few in numbers. There needs to be a shift, a shift in the way we live, a shift in the way we treat our fellow man and women, and a shift in consciousness. Earth is going through its changes as it has done before like the galactic alignment which is going to occur on 21/12/2012 which happens every 25,800 years. I fear its to late and the powers that be have almost convinced the people of earth that this is it. This is life, i believe that the changes that are coming our way will force us to evolve if we are not already on that path, and for those who are to far gone will experience great pain. It is as you say, a time for revolutionary leadership but it must come from the people we must learn to trust ourselves and each other, and get away from all the distractions, there so clever in there manipulation.
Anyway thanks for waking me up there its easy to be misguided and led astray your message has just given me what i needed to move one step closer to what i should of done years ago. Namesta
Jonathan…. It’s almost uncanny how relevant your posts always are in what I’m doing in my life at the time. I was just given the book “Launching a Leadership Revolution” by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward. I am going to do a series on Leadership on my blog over the next year and your post has given me some really good insight on the subject.
You are so right about being given a gift when it comes to leadership.
Teddy Roosevelt has a great leadership quote, it’s one of my favorites and goes like this:
“We need leaders of inspired idealism, leaders to whom are granted great vision, who dream greatly and strive to make their dreams come true; who can kindle the people with the fire from their own burning souls”
You are that kind of leader Jonathan. A leader has to inspire his followers and start a fire within themselves.
I love when I see your emails come in with a new post and video because they are always a great way to start your day!
Thanks once again for your wisdom and perspective on this very important topic, Leadership!

The combination of Ego coupled with success is something that has been ingrained in my mind by society for such a long time, probably my entire life.
As a 40 year old that is just beginning to notice my wings, it is a hard mindset to overcome. My mind naturally swings the other way. So for a long time I could not imagine myself as a leader. You are absolutely right. A huge ego can actually get in the way of meaningful success.
The butterfly effect…. I am flapping my new found wings everyday knowing that someday that WILL amount to something great!

One more thought…… In his book “The Power of Intention” Wayne Dyer talks about Connectors and the traits of a Connector.
Jonathan, I think this post exemplifies this to a “T” I don’t have the book in front of me, but what I remember is that a Connector is a person who is connected to source and is eternally grateful for every situation that occurs in their life because it’s all connected to the bigger picture and the result it is to bring.
This kind of a leader would have to be humble and there would be no room at all for ego. Since reading this book I focus on being grateful for even the not so good things that happen on a day to day basis, and I am striving to be that kind of a leader.
Can you tell, I love this post!

JB - great video with such a powerful message. For some time now, I have been immersed in several of the personal development books you recommended … I actually bought them ALL, just haven’t read them all yet … and what you are saying today in the video is the message in each and every one of these great books. True self awareness and a realization of who we really are, what we are truly capable of, living outside of our ego, and seeing life as it really exists without the limiting and false beliefs of our “mind filter.” I wish the leaders of not only our country, but all countries, could understand and lead from this same perspective. Imagine what an awesome world it would be for everyone! Thank you for your mentorship and for sharing your thoughts, wisdom and love with us all today. Truly inspirational, my friend!!

The timeless message we’re lucky to receive… and now fortunate to carry forward! 
Hey Jonathan,
What an inspirational and so true message you put out today. I’m living the way you just spoke of, and since I have put my ego to rest, my world has changed dramatically!
I’m a loving person who loves all people and life is so much easier now that I”m able to express that point without worrying what people will think of me.
Bless you man for being that leader and please continue to post these videos because they are game changers for people’s business but more importantly, their lives.
PS. I bought the “True Meditation” book from your last video and meditate first thing in the morning with the CD that came with the book!

Everything you said is true once you get your ego out of the way things just happen. Its nice to see that you are putting it out there and sharing what life is truly about. Its not what we have in life its what we give and and create to make this world a better place.
Love this Jonathan
I forwarded it to my siblings
