Positive Leadership: MBA Oath Provides an Ethical Foundation for Business

This article from today's Financial Times was written by the Archbishop of the Church in Wales - http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/5c7b7592-307c-11e0-9de3-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1DIjtKlS9) . It bears scrutiny in today's world, where values are often mere words rather than actions.

The conclusion is a pertinent summary of the opportunity which adopting the Values of Positive Leadershipaffords businesses today:

'If adopted, an ethical perspective could become as second nature to executives as an economic outlook. That would make a radical difference to the way in which we conduct business because, in the end, conventional regulations cannot cure moral blindness or human greed.'

Positive Leadership: Coach K on Team Building

Says Duke University Basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski (‘Coach K’): 

"In all forms of leadership, whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees, and your family...I BELIEVE IN YOU. These four words can mean the difference between a fear of failure and the courage to try."

The Gold Standard: Building a World-Class Team is  Coach K's first-hand account of how he dealt with such stars as Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and all the rest to buy into his "total team" play as members of the US Olympic basketball team. Half a book on basketball, half a book on management techniques, THE GOLD STANDARD captures Coach K's personal style and approach to getting different (and sometimes difficult) people to work hard and succeed in reaching a common goal.
