There is a myth that to be a leader, you must be loud. We confuse aggression with strength and silence with weakness. We see the heroes in movies breaking things to save the day, and we think that is...

In AD 70, the Roman General Titus commanded his army to spare the great temple in Jerusalem. He possessed the military power of a vast empire. Forty years earlier, Jesus stood on a mountain and declar...
