Wayne,

For a take on leadership other than the list of attributes, I highly recommend, “Executive Leadership” by Jaques and Clement:

Okay, so the least I should do is be a learner, and that means sharing what I just heard with someone. How about an imaginary audience on this page.

1. You and Kevin used the word ‘process’ enough times to make me think you are being paid by my boss to brainwash me.

2. My pastor today shared how, as new Christian, he would buy a new Bible every time he felt he was off-track. A lot like some buy exercise equipment, I suppose.

3. Motivation (and by extension application, and process) is fleeting. There has to be a reward system that tricks us into doing the things we should do.

I’ve seen http://www.mint.com is supposed to be adding a personal budgeting system that is based on being a game. How cool is that? People learn rules of games very instinctively, and apply it, yet they don’t do that with leadership.

Any of this resonate? I guess it has more to do with learning and application, regardless of the subject.
