A leader provides a level of impact with the attainment or achievement of a certain level of personal development. Contemplation provides a means of a time input to provide meaning for others in various situations and for working on organizational goals. The desire of a leader to attain a greater level of understanding about a personal role, direction, and motivation is a mode to an endowment of leadership. Contemplation provides a means of consideration. Contemplation adds a depth to thought processes while often allowing the clarity and insight frequently needed in a leadership role.

Some decisions have greater significance than other decisions. Contemplation is a recognition of various circumstances and personal understanding. Contemplation boosts the leadership abilities of:
