Inspirational Leadership

June 06, 2008 – Comments (3)

From Alex Green, Investment Director, The Oxford Club (Spiritual Wealth e-letter):

"In the business world, physical assets are essential. Patents and trademarks are invaluable. Postive cash flow is wonderful. But, at the very heart of things, every organization is essentially a team of people. And just as every sports franchise needs a great coach, every organization needs an inspiring leader. Because if the team isn't rowing in the same direction-the right direction-you won't get far...Yes business will always be about meeting the deadline, closing the deal, finishing the project and growing the business. But if your work life is nothing more than the single-minded pursuit of wealth, recognition and accomplishment, you will wake up one day and find that something is still missing. That's because true success is not just about achieving your dreams. It's about helping those around you reach theirs, too."
