This is the definition of presence, and it is only when we operate in the present that real creativity, growth and innovation occur.

Don’t like the term Power? The book doesn’t talk about a wringing-your-hands-in-delight power grab, but more about political skill and savvy. It’s a word that may attract or repel you. This book will help you define it, and in a great blend of academic analysis and practical observations help you gain more of it.

There is something profoundly powerful about humility and its impact on a leader's followers. While many people immediately conjure-up an image of the ever so confident, bombastic extrovert without an ounce of humility as the picture of what constitutes a real leader, nothing could be further from the truth. I agree with your thoughts.

Humility is not easily developed when you have wealth, power and/or status. It’s no coincidence that admitting one’s weakness, seeking a higher power and the support of others are key elements in successful 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Herein lies the paradox. Adversity and suffering force us to connect.

Read on and find out… People who attempt to lead out of self-serving motivations or misplaced intentions are not really leading – they are pursuing power, glory and status. So why then is it that so many leaders seem to struggle with seeing a tender heart as a strength and not a weakness? This is the antithesis of true leadership.

Innate, raw intelligence while certainly something to be prized, is much more common and much less powerful than real influence. In fact, your influence quotient will be a much greater determinant of your ultimate success than your “Intelligence Quotient” could ever be.
