Research will show the word passion comes from a Latin word meaning “to suffer.”

Most will remember the movie The Passion Of The Christ. The title for the movie was derived from the idea of the Latin word. 

The Leadership Legacy, written by Kouzes and Posner, quickly points out the need for leaders to understand they must serve and suffer.

Leaders must put the needs of others above themselves. This Biblical truth and the quality of great leadership are seen when leaders abandon a self-seeking, worldly approach.

Be passionate, but understand what passion really means.
