Here is a beautiful article that will have meaning for both leaders and anyone who sincerely wants to follow a path of profound self transformation. The path of devotion in yoga is called Bhakti Yoga.  Most think it is about worshiping a deity.  Here Sadguru explains brilliantly what true devotion is and why it is especially necessary in the call to leadership. To lead it is necessary to be so completely absorbed in what or whom is in front of you that YOU transform and the highest possible action comes through you.  WOW!
