A Good Book on Leadership

I have been busy working on writing my book on how doing the opposite of what we see in poor or ineffective leaders, helps us become more effective leaders. As part of my research I have been asking CEOs and executives for their input, insights and advice. I have been overwhelmed with the response from leaders whom I have come to respect and admire and simply who “get it." When Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com shared his insights with me, he recommended a book called Tribal Leadership, so I immediately began researching it. I ran across this video on the Tribal Leadership website www.triballeadership.net/index.php where a reporter for Fox News interviewed the co-author of the book, Dave Logan. I use the term interview very lightly. In fact, I would have to say that Mr. Logan schooled the reporter on what the true essence of leadership is really about. It is unfortunate that some still fail to realize, but will report to the contrary, that there are people who achieve leadership success by building a culture within their organization that focuses on humans, service, being servant and leading by example.
