Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation by Steven Johnson makes that cut. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s ever had bursts of inspiration and wondered why they haven’t been able to replicate those circumstances, or anyone who wants to innovate at all. Candidly, I’m blown away.

Did the attainment of your 2010 goals lead you closer to success or significance? The politician makes promises and is motivated by pride, ego, notoriety and personal success. The statesman keeps commitments, is motivated by service above and beyond self, and by making a lasting difference.

Those team members who share a commonality of core values will automatically assume “best intentions” in one another vs. assuming “worst intentions” or “motives/agendas.” Those team members who share the same core values will be predisposed to trusting one another at high levels. From my perspective there is no such thing as a toxic asset.

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. It is love for those you lead that allows for right thinking, proper perspective, and pure motivations. This is the antithesis of true leadership.

Sure it is…but it is much, much more difficult, rarely sustainable, and leaders who lack humility are always called into question with regard to motives and agendas. When you think of a true leader do you envision someone who displays a quiet confidence or a blatant arrogance? Is it possible to be a leader without being humble?
