Good Tuesday Morning!
1. Question – If you could pick one missing link in
leadership what would that link be?
2. Thought – The crucial question of my entire
research program at West Point and beyond is
not “What do great leaders share in
common?” Instead, the question that I attempt to
answer is “What do the greatest leaders share in
common that distinguishes them from everybody else?”
In the end, I found that the missing link between great,
good, and horrible leadership at all levels and throughout
all organizations was that of honor.
By honor, I simply mean the attributes of
leaders who shape their actions and decisions against a
higher, usually noble principle. (Stand Your
Ground by Evan H. Offstein)
“There are two ways to slide easily through
life: to believe everything or to doubt everything;
both ways save us from thinking.” (Alfred Korzybski)
