Highlights from this Podcast: Great leadership begins with a belief in a larger than life belief or transcendent idea. Every minute of everyday is a leadership opportunity; you're always leading and influencing. All great leadership starts with self-leadership; self-leadership begins with self-mastery. Leadership is a human act; regardless of all the technological advances and advancing managerial tools the art of leadership never changes. The least important aspect of leadership is the charismatic aspect; modeling and setting the example is so much more powerful. There is a distinct difference between managing & leading; you manage "things" and you lead "people".
