This one was Triple Crown Leadership - Building Excellent, Ethical and Enduring Organizations by Bob and Gregg Vanourek (a father and son team).

I read a book last night Leadership and the Art of Struggle - How Great Leaders Grow Through Challenge and Adversity by Steven Snyder. Random snippets from the book(with some of my interpretation): Use adaptive energy. Channel adaptive energy through self awareness. There are so many things I could do and want to do.

He wrote a book - Talk is Cheap - The Art of Conversation Leadership. Like energy, the lowest hanging fruit (no pun intended) is conservation.

Being excited by work is one of the best ways to have energy. ++ Here is an interesting NPR article on job automation. One of the regrets I have from my first book on Time Leadership is I suggested sleeping less was a good idea for productivity. And a great plant starter. The job issue is a complex one. I now disagree with that.
