A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his about and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.

François-René de Chateaubriand

tMLF Leadership philosophy

  • everyone is capable of personal leadership 
  • respect for the inherent value and dignity of all human beings and empathic understanding of them is central to a successful relationship between leader and led. The ‘I’m OK - You’re OK’ position
  • people of all ages and stages of development are capable of learning to take responsibility for their decisions and actions
  • all are born equal
  • all are creative 
  • our need for relationship constitutes a primary motivating experience, and contact and secure attachment is the means by which the need is met 
  • we all have a self-actualising tendency
