Entrepreneur Mindset

Great post. Similar to John C. Maxwell's Servant Leadership concept which I totally ascribe to. That said, I think greed and fear make this tough for some people to implement.

In the military, its greed for power, promotion or prestige and fear that your people will screw that up. That leads to a lot of negative leadership behavior..

In the civilian world, Wall Street is the very definition of greed and fear. So, so many decisions are made based on the bottom-line that publicly traded companies will never see this fully realized I'm afraid. They fear risk and trying creatives ways to manage the numbers is frowned upon as risky because greed for money is the only thing that matters.

It takes a special person to have the internal fortitude to swim against the current. Leadership like this, true leadership, takes moral strength and courage that far too many in positions of authority lack.

What a great concept. It would be great if civilan organizations would worked this way. :)
