Just sitting at the Chinese restaurant waiting for my combo fried rice. Was reading "100 ways to motivate people". Some interesting ideas in there... Basically encourages you to stop worrying about being a leader, focus on being a better human being and gaining the respect of ur peers and subordinates through your service of their needs rather than the protection of your ego. A novel concept but I can totally see how it works. I've always believed that leadership begins by being worthy of peoples' respect. Essentially, when people can see what you stand for and respect ur principles, they can buy into what you are selling. Interesting because it suggests that the first barrier to good leadrship is a paltry soul. Makes sense. A good leader isn't afraid to turn his back to his team coz he knows they have his interests at heart just as he has theirs.

hmm exactly right my friend.if we look at the human race in general we can come to an understanding that we are in this to be accepted and to be understood.as soon as someone with a "paltry" soul as such comes along we identify with that person.But we only choose to follow or respect if we see a strength of character as well as that understanding personality.Humans are emotional creatures as we aspire to believe that others are in some shape or form are better than us even if we portray ourselves as the strongest of the strong.So in order to inspire as such we need to show a strength or something that people can gain from what we do and add to their personality.That breeds loyalty and makes a leader.hope that makes sense =D
