My limit has been reached. I’m talking about leadership hero worship. Check out these recent article and book titles: “Managing with Heart;” “Not just Smart but Wise;” “Rewaken Your Passion for Work;” “Leadership that Gets Results;” “Social Intelligence and the Biology of Leadership;” “Caring Leadership;” “Understanding Your Emotional Connection;” “Servant Leadership;” “The Extraordinary Leader.”
To be sure, extraordinary leaders are out there. But how many? How many business leaders truly have heart? Are truly compassionate? Wise? Emotionally connected to their workforce? Servants to their
organizations?
