It never ceases to amaze me where simple but effective lessons in leadership are found. The golf course is one of those places. Golf is a game of man against hiimself. How can leadership be present without someone to lead?
I contend the qualities the game of golf emphasizes are leadership qualities that can be applied in any setting. Here are my top golf qualities:
1. Honesty
2. Integrity
3. Humility
4. Generosity
Do you have any to add?
We can think about adding the additional leadership lessons we learn from golf as follows (typical of my game):
sense of humor (getting ready for putt #4
courage (fear of water, trees and traps)
appreciation of nature (what’s a fairway)

A business friend who is also a top golfer told me he can tell a lot about a person when he plays golf with him. Your four qualities are important on and off the course.
