From the Wayfarer Tarot, the Emperor; from the Curious Oracle, The Sun:
This grandpa might look like he's taking a nap, but you can bet he's keeping a close eye on his grandchild as well as what's going on around him. He exemplifies the excellent leadership the Tao te Ching suggests: a person who is humble and open-minded, who creates a safe space for others to discover their own talents and passions, and who seeks to bring harmony rather than rush into conflict. The Sun implies clarity; in the Emperor's position, it signifies his recognition of interconnection rather than division. There are no 'mine' and 'your' labels - we're all in this together.
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership. —John Kenneth Galbraith
