Welcome to the twenty-seventh issue of The Lens. In each issue of The Lens we feature one of the spiritual principles of wise leadership. For this issue our theme is: Leading with Compassion.

Our aim is to help people become more effective leaders. The principles we write about have important implications both for your style of leadership and how you choose to live your life.
