Body:	<i>I got to know and take some workshops from the late great Robert Terry who wrote 'Authentic Leadership: Courage in Action.' He, and his works, probably impacted me professionally as much as any other single individual. I use some of his principles in a class these days. He based his worldview on seven 'features of human action:' - Existence (our sacred history) - Resources (the fact that we are body as well as spirit) - Structure (our battlement against chaos) - Power (the spark that animates us) - Mission (as humans we possess drive to go in a direction of our choosing) - Meaning (the big 'why' question) - Fulfillment (refers to the fact that we, and life, are dynamic, ever unfolding) These seven human characteristics build upon one another, and (of course) bend back and cycle in a feedback loop. He developed his 'action wheel,' sort of compass containing these seven points, as a tool to help one through difficult circumstances, leadership or life challenges, etc. Originally a theologian, Terry branched out into leadership studies. He defined leadership as 'The courage to call forth authentic action in the commons.' And for him,, each word of that defin. pulsed with meaning. He said that there were two minimum requirements in life: 1. Show up, and 2. Engage.</i> *
