Odds are, if someone gives something to you, it will probably cost you something in the end. He’s a special person in my life. Those are MY definitions.

This is so much the case that some CEOs will avoid restructuring initiatives at all costs. Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders. The mere discussion of corporate reengineering can cause fear, anxiety, and in some cases even panic.

While being motivated solely by conquest may allow you to achieve a stated goal or objective, the cost will be great. They resist at all costs letting that dreaded public display of compassion slip out. A leader whose focus is on serving others will find it difficult to wander off course.
