Prompt:

In Pope Francis’ 2015 address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, he said: "Let us remember the Golden Rule: `Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’(Mt 7:12). This Rule points us in a clear direction. Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves."

Prompt Question:
While Pope Francis was speaking to elected leaders when he made these remarks, he was reminding all leaders of our obligations to each other. How do leaders and decision makers in any organization keep the Golden Rule in mind while striving for distinction and success?

How do leaders and decision makers in any organization keep the Golden Rule in mind while striving for distinction and success?

Answer with Explanation:

When it comes to being a leader in the society, it is very important to follow the "Gold Rule" as a pillar for success. This allows the leader to establish a good relationship with his subordinates and the people around him. When you are leading a nation, an organization or a society, you are centered on providing service to the people involved. Thus, it is essential that you treat people with compassion, honesty, loyalty and to your utmost ability, for they will in turn, be satisfied with your leadership. You'll be surprised that one of these days, these people will return the favor to you. They will also give you the best service they can offer. This will make you a very excellent and successful individual.
