This Is Where You Are | Marcus Aurelius' 12 Fundamentals Of Great Leadership
The Daily Stoic
The Philosophy of Dealing with Obstacles and Challenges
Marcus, amidst floods, fires, war, and plague, views every difficulty as an opportunity to practice virtue. He believes that obstacles are chances to be great, to step up and do what needs to be done. Marcus sees difficult people as opportunities to be patient, forgiving, and communicate better. When faced with a coup attempt, he uses it as an opportunity to show a better way to deal with civil strife. This philosophy applies to leaders in any situation, as seen during the COVID pandemic where companies were forced to try new things and adapt. Marcus exemplifies how great leaders are transformed and improved by crises, turning the rain they get into something enduring.
