The L'Arche Canada of Richmond Hills, Ontario, Canada - Jean Vanier - Daily Thought - Thursday, 5 October 2017 "Over-concern with Rules"Bad leaders are concerned only with rules and regulations. They do not try to understand how these affect people. It is easy to use the law to cover an inability to understand and listen. We tend to impose rules when we are frightened of people.

The L'Arche Canada of Richmond Hills, Ontario, Canada - Jean Vanier - Daily Thought - Wednesday, 4 October 2017 "Listening to all"One of the essential qualities of people with responsibility is an ability to listen to everyone and not just to their friends and admirers. They have to know how people are feeling towards the community and how they are growing. They have to create bonds with them which are true, and if possible, warm.
