There are many human resources books , but they often focus on specific industries or companies. They cover recruiting, hiring, managing employees, motivating workers, developing talent, managing diversity, and much more.

The Empowered Buisness

NOVEMBER 11, 2014

Do you have a winning strategy to reach your company’s goals? For your company to grow, you must grow as a leader. When you stagnate, so will your company. All behavior is self-motivated. Your actions are motivated either to move toward something positive or away from something negative/painful. It’s that simple.

The people I am working with often quote Jim Collins Good-to-Great : “…leaders of companies that go from good to great start not with “where” but with “who.” In other words: Like Collins in Good-to-Great, getting the right people on the bus in the right seat is important. This does not have to change anything, immediately.

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.

Jim Collins described the humility of Level 5 leaders in Good to Great and how it often came as the result of a life threatening event or religious experience. In Lincoln’s Melancholy by Joshua Wolf Shenk, we see how Abraham Lincoln’s suffering from depression throughout his adult life developed humility and determination.
