Zoroaster

Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, was an ancient Persian prophet and the founder of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. He lived approximately between 1000-600 BCE and died around 583 BCE. Born into a noble family in Persia, he received divine revelations at age twenty, proclaiming Ahura Mazda as the supreme deity of light and truth. His teachings centered on the cosmic struggle between good and evil, emphasizing that individuals must choose righteousness through good thoughts, words, and deeds. Though initially met with resistance, his faith eventually became the state religion of the Persian Empire, profoundly influencing later Abrahamic faiths. more

“In addition to all of the ratios and goals and parameters and bottom lines, it is fundamental that leaders endorse a concept of persons. This begins with an understanding of the diversity of people's gifts and talents and skills. Recognizing diversity gives us the chance to provide meaning, fulfillment and purpose, which are not to be relegated solely to private life any more than such things as love, beauty and joy. The art of leadership lies in polishing and liberating and enabling those gifts.”
