It's No Myth

In business philosophy and ethics there are an array of authorities. For some maybe one stands out. Ministers laud him and follow his teachings and leadership. They recognise the successes and accomplishments achieved by this person and put the teachings into practice. When a protege is presented followers immediately do their research to find out more. The successor must satisfy certain criteria in order to be accepted because authority is not based on myths. There must be case studies, eye-witnesses to greatness and good grounds for acceptance. A light in the darkness that might even penetrate the heart. The inner circle must become wider and begin to draw more people in from the periphery. The revelation may appear to deserve more concrete recognition. It would be a mistake to build a monument too early. Even though they can see no other not everyone may be so convinced. They need to see more but it is important to keep privileged information confidential. It requires trust and commitment on both sides.
