How does one of the greatest architects ever in the world become worthless, destitute and wretched?
Mimar Sinan, the Chief Architect & Master of Ottoman Architecture is today known for his timeless masterpieces & construction of Ottoman mosques. Yet, there’s more to Sinan… 🧵

Mimar Sinan in his correspondence with other officials & friends, would not sign his letters with his title "Head architect", but rather with modest nicknames such as Mûr-u Nâtuvân (The Powerless Ant) or El-fakir-ul-Hakir Sinan (The Destitute, Wretched and Worthless Sinan).

The request from the Sultan caught Sinan off-guard & he was not able to refuse this invitation. Sinan opened the door to the Süleymaniye Mosque reciting the words “Yâ Fettah”, which is one of the names & characteristics of Allah, meaning 'the One who is the opener of everything".

Leadership is the privilege & authority to serve. The key word: serve. Not to pass the blame & certainly not to be in denial or throw anyone under the bus. A true leader will do everything in their power to reach a resolution. You never look good trying to make someone look bad.
