Introducing Makoto – one of the leaders in the book Rose and the Lion (being written) and the Rose & Lion Leadership program.

His challenge: Makoto finds he has to work harder than everyone else to get the same results, which can be frustrating. He’s hard to get to know and sometimes wonders if he belongs.

His strengths: COMPASSION AND PERSEVERANCE. Once you’re his friend, you’re his friend for life. His compassion for all living creatures is admirable. He’s an activist who will protect everything he loves. He’ll take a risk when it makes sense. He does not give up.
