Thanks for sharing this Sandy. I am intrigued by this and will look for the article.

As Passover approaches the writer engages the Seder with careful consideration for her "7 y/o self- proclaimed atheist daughter". She writes, "what kids need most is authentic parental connection" and "my daughter wants to be part of the conversation, and I want to be there as her partner in dialogue". Rarely do I see an adult willing to engage children in such a manner that invites conversation or two way dialogue about such matters that involve critical thinking. This is an example of leadership that respects divergence in location and opinion.

he Zanders, are a team of transformational leaders that practice globally. Each chapter has a catch word- short and to the point- to be remembered easily in the heat of the moment. Two of my favorites include "Giving an A" and Rule #6. The first is an argument to give everyone an A not as an expectation to live up to but a possibility to be lived into. If you already have the A where can the freed up energy take you. Rule #6 is a reminder not to take oneself so seriously.

Mojo as defined by the author is "the moment we do something that's purposeful, powerful, and positive and the rest of the world recognizes it." This book examines where you have it and how to apply it to areas in your life where you don't so that those mojo moments are always at your fingertips. One does not need to be head of a company to benefit from this approach.

This is a twenty minute "lecture" on leadership from Benjamin Zander, the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic discussing the "possibilities of the impossible" regarding classical music appreciation and leading an orchestra.
