Integrity, Courage, Tenacity and a Bit of Genius

Who shall lead us?  Maybe you?

Oxford, Saïd Business School, and the World:  You can hear a cry for real leadership in our world. Greed, so empowered by the media, runs rampant throughout our diverse cultures. Wall Street has failed us. So many within big business have failed us. Politicians, celebrities, and "big" personalities of every kind have failed us.

So who knows anything about real leadership?

We studied the works of many people but focused on a man who studies how people work together.  He has become one of the world's leading scholars on the subject of leadership.  His name is Keith Grint.  

Prof. Dr. Keith Grint explains why we are so frustrated with the leadership who dominate the headlines. He makes it clear that it is time to turn away from the selfish people and look to each other -- perhaps even look in your mirror -- to find the heart of real leadership.

Yet, to empower a grassroots effort to instill such leadership within our cultures, we need to know what leadership is and we all need hope and courage to try to make a difference; and as we learn, we need to encourage the best models of leadership among us.

Dr. Grint says that having a vision is certainly a starting point but that the "vision thing" has been overrated. Anybody can have a dream or a picture of how they want their world or their company to look but very few are good at putting the plans in place then taking action on those plans to turn the vision into reality. We distilled many key points from our  brief  visit with him.

This door on leadership is open.  With this episode of the show we are calling on all small business owners to learn more about it so we can be all that we can be.
