Summary: A Powerful Truth

When Lance writes that a leader's job is to inspire people to greatness he means guiding the contribution of brilliance of those we work and live with. In reframing our approach to relationships and communication, we can reposition our tendency to want to have this change take place in others instead of transforming ourselves. Continuing with his message from RECLAIMING HIGHER GROUND, I had a need to hear this powerful truth again. It takes courage to reinvent ourselves, to move towards transformation, to practice modeling the change we desire to see in others and the world. Helped by six spiritual (key) principles that unlock the CASTLE doors, I am lovingly guided to define and live my destiny, cause and calling.

Summary: Secretan inspires!
Review: Understanding the difference between "motivation" and "inspiration" can lead to a dramatic breakthrough for anyone in any kind of leadership role. After reading Secretan's beautiful, yet practical book on the subject, I know I'll never be the same. Despite all the training, seminars, mentoring, and observation of great leaders, I didn't know the difference and I suspect most CEO's don't either.

It turns out motivation is usually based on fear and is self centred. Inspiration is other centred and based on love.

I read the book on the suggestion of a very successful CEO I work with and immediately began to notice the impact Secretan has had on his leadership style, and effectiveness.

I'm now looking forward to similar results.

If you are in any kind of leadership role, or aspire to be, read this book.
