Business Book of the Year?
| |
| The FT has out its "long list" of nominees for the FT/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. The picks aren't too surprising (despite being forced to leave out the FT's own Gillian Tett's excellent Fool's Gold), with a cross-section of financial crises and management self-help books, leavened by one peak-oil text and a few internationalization works. |

When leadership is not enough
| |
| Some people see leadership as being the person in charge or the person in control. The mental image of a leader is the person with the most authority. But there are many examples of organizations and countries that have had leaders and not been successful.
Look at the difference between George Bush as a leader and Tony Blair. Both were leaders of their respective countries. However, people largely believe that Tony Blair was more of a leader than George Bush.
The truth is, failing organizations had people who were leaders just as much as successful ones have leaders. Hitler was a great leader and so was Saddam Hussein. They were not the type of leader that I would want to have in charge of a country I lived in or company I worked for, but they were leaders.

You Will See Results Pursuing Your Core Desire
| |
| When trying to discern your Core Desires, pay close attention to the responses and emotions elicited by the Search Question. You could overlook a key phrase, comment, or feeling if you are not careful. Emotions are not always easy to sense or detect.
Often people will answer the question flippantly, or without focus. Often I will hear a goal they have had for many years, and when I tell them it is not a 100 on the scale, they say things like "Okay, you want to know what I really want?" Then they say what is really in their heart and get right to the Core Desire. Sometimes they joke about a Core Desire- don't let this fool you. Oftentimes people joke about the things that are most important to them, because to get serious about it is quite painful. They joke around to hide the hurt. |
