We commend the Yale School of Management on their philosophy of leadership...

In their September 20, 2006 ad in the Wall Street Journal, The Yale School of Management offered their definition of leadership. They said,

“For some, leadership is only about personal benefit-acquiring power, influence, wealth, recognition.

At the Yale School of Management, we know leadership is also about something more. Leadership is an opportunity to give, not just get; to inspire an organization rather than to control it; to create value rather than to extract it. True leadership is about having the purpose and passion to make a positive difference, both in and out of the workplace.”

We applaud this philosophy, knowing that great leadership is an intricate, and, at times, a very personal process.

In that spirit, we’d like to hear from you…

What is great leadership to you? How would you define it? Feel free to think of it conceptually, philosophically, practically; you set the parameters. We will report back on your points of view.

Michael C. Henry, Ph.D.

  4. A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. Having been alive, it won’t be so hard in the end to lie down and rest.

  16. Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty… Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words.
