Added for You - The Leadership Imperative: Making Your Leadership Your Life
I sure wish I had read this book twenty years ago. But then I could not have, since most of the technology he describes and uses to make his argument did not exist back then. I’m talking about a revolutionary new book titled: “The 4-Hour Work Week”...or How to escape the 9 to 5 rat race, live anywhere in the world and join the ‘New Rich.’ Timothy Ferriss has wr
How do we really let our leadership sink deeply into our life and change it and shape it throughout our lives? By dedicating ourselves to passionately realizing the Leadership Imperative.

One evening you are walking down the street with a gloomy mind. Unexpectedly you look up and see a colorful giant advertising balloon and rapidly a cloak of delight engulfs you. At all times, simple brilliance has delighted human mind. Different innovation has enriched the ad world for ages but nothing has touched human heart like simplicity. Arouse joy and incr
For instance, to start getting more results than you are accustomed to getting, you simply have to change your mind-set. You should aim to make your leadership your life and your life your leadership. If you don't, you diminish both your leadership and your life.
To have the change in mind-set really sink in so it changes you in a deep, fundamental way, you must cultivate two dynamics: a vision of the purpose of your leadership, and the dedication to realize that purpose.
The word "vision" has been used and misused ad nauseam. The trouble is that most leaders misunderstand it. When they think "vision", they look at themselves, at what they can do for themselves. To do well for yourself, an inward focus is the wrong place to look.
Here's a vision that you can carry with you for the rest of your career, for the rest of your life. I call it the Leadership Imperative.
I WILL LEAD PEOPLE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY NOT ONLY ACHIEVE THE RESULTS WE NEED BUT THEY ALSO BECOME BETTER AS PEOPLE AND AS LEADERS.
This vision has two parts: one is result-accomplishments and the other is the betterment of the people.
You are never more powerful as a leader as when, in getting results, you are helping others be better than they are -- even better than thought they could be. Guided by the Leadership Imperative, you'll find that the jobs you take on, the career(s) you have, will, in terms of your doing well by them, take care of themselves.
However, vision alone is not enough. You must be dedicated to realizing it. Realizing this vision means living not an easy life for ourselves but a hard life for others.
There are many ways to make such realization happen, and it should be our life's journey to find them and put them into action. The point is that when you turn the focus of your ambitions away from yourself and toward other people, when you become truly ambitious for their success, your success will take care of itself.

Seventy percent of all change management projects are considered to be failures.The critical factors for change management success or failure are fairly simple.The first factor is to have a group of people at leadership level believe that change is required. More than that, they must believe that "change management" is required. If these
