America Managed To Miss The
Boat On Doing "The Right Thing"
“Management is doing things right: Leadership is doing the right things.” – Peter Drucker
Sunken Leadership
by Dr. Joe Aniello
There are plenty of good books on Leadership. A few that have influenced me are: “Servant Leadership.” “Jesus Christ: CEO;” “Leadership Jazz;” “The Art of Leadership;” and “White Water Leadership.” These books are exceptionally good at informing and instructing about any and all aspects of the Discipline of Leadership. Therefore, my essays truly add little to that topic. Rather, I have focused on exploratory ideas that might explain some of the underlying causes in our Human Nature that may have inhibited the evolution of American Leadership that is necessary for the world of today and tomorrow. This, in an attempt to prompt some new and possibly different thoughts about those ‘causes’ that have produced a dearth of true Leadership amongst a plethora of ‘symptoms’ at this point in time.
I do not pretend to know any of these answers but merely to offer a possible direction from which to take further and future discussions.
“If Management is thinking that YOUR child is the smartest/cutest/best then, Leadership is knowing how important it is that EVERY parent feels that way about THEIR child.”
