- 4. THE CONSTITUTIONS THE MASONIC BELIEF There is one God, the Father of all men. The Holy Bible is the Great Light in Masonry, and the Rule and Guide for faith and practice. Man is immortal. Character determines destiny. Love of man is, next to love of God, man’s first duty. Prayer, communion of man with God, is helpful.
- 5. LEADERSHIP IS CHARACTER Character is not personality or temperament. What’s Character? The set of classical human virtues: fortitude, temperance, prudence and justice, also known as the Cardinal Virtues Fortitude: to stay the course and resist pressures of all kinds Temperance: to subordinate passion and fulfillment of mission Prudence: to make right decisions Justice: to give every individual his due
- 6. VIRTUE Virtue is a habit of the mind, the will and the heart, which allow us to achieve personal excellence and effectiveness. Leadership is intrinsically linked to virtue. Virtue creates trust. Virtue enhances the leader's capacity to act.

THE CONSTITUTIONS THE MASONIC TEACHING Masonry teaches man to practice charity and benevolence, to protect chastity, to respect the ties of blood and friendship, to adopt the principles and revere the ordinances of religion, to assist the feeble, guide the blind, raise up the downtrodden, shelter the orphan, guard the altar, support the Government, inculcate morality, promote learning, love man, fear God, implore His mercy and hope for happiness and immortality.

- 10. DEFINITIONS CHARISMA: a spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influence or authority over large numbers of people. MAGNANIMITY: the habit of striving for great things. Leaders are magnanimous in their dreams, visions and sense of mission. HUMILITY: the habit of serving others. Pulling no pushing. teaching no ordering. Inspiring no berating.
- 11. LEADERSHIP It is not a gift which we are endowed at birth. We acquire it in the course of time often after many setbacks, failures and disappointments. It's to see the destination, begin the journey and leave it to those who will continue it. It demands: Strength to take a risk Humility to admit when a risk fails.
