The Shaolin Virtues
Master Dao’s wisdom teaches us to follow 6 virtues to achieve peace in our hearts.

What is the Shaolin Virtue of Leadership?

The Shaolin Virtue of Leadership is about working together to solve problems. It is the most powerful virtue because when people unite, they can solve any problem together. True leaders require the command of all the other five Shaolin Virtues in order to be truly effective. When you provide leadership with others, problems are identified, solutions are provided, and appropriate action is taken. When you try to provide leadership on your own, your capability to resolve problems is greatly diminished and there is a potential to create even more problems.

By developing your Shaolin Virtue of Leadership:

  • You will be able to solve problems that you cannot otherwise solve on your own
