To lead others you have to be able to identify with where they are currently in their lives. Beyond mentally assenting to their current reality, you have to feel for them personally and desire to lead them to their desirable destiny. paul_davis@pacificarticles.com (Paul Davis) Wed, 18 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3434/1/Filanthropy-Philanthropy/Filanthropy-Philanthropy.html Filanthropy is a common misspelling of philanthropy.

One of the keynote speakers was Martha Stewart (Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia). Martha was greeted with a very warm Texas applause acknowledging who she was and all that she had been through over the past few years. She was crisp and polished in a Connecticut sort of way and seemed comfortable in front of the big crowd of 8,000 attendees. lynn_kindler@pacificarticles.com (Lynn Kindler) Wed, 18 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3429/1/Who-do-You-Blame-in-Your-Life/Who-do-You-Blame-in-Your-Life.html When you take responsibility of those things within your control, you become Powerful.

They somehow feel that it is better to be something or someone they are not.When we are not true to ourselves, we do not learn our limitations or our strengths. We are poorer for it and so are the organisations we work in. kevin_dwyer@pacificarticles.com (Kevin Dwyer) Wed, 18 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3427/1/True-Freedom-Only-Comes-With-Taking-Personal-Responsibility/True-Freedom-Only-Comes-With-Taking-Personal-Responsibility.html True leadership and personal responsibility cannot exist without each other. Anything less makes you a follower and that equates "victim"!

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/2559/1/Leadership-Through-Being-Yourself/Leadership-Through-Being-Yourself.html Real leaders are not only prepared to reveal their weaknesses, because they know they are not super-human, but to use them to their advantage. Obviously this doesn’t mean revealing technical weaknesses or functional failings as this would fatally flaw their performance. Instead, what is meant is that leaders can and perhaps should, reveal their personality quirks – maybe they are bad tempered in the morning, are somewhat shy with new people or even a little disorganized. Such admissions show they are human and this resonates with others confirming that the leader is a person – not merely a role-holder. peter_fisher@pacificarticles.com (Peter Fisher) Sat, 30 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/2411/1/Poor-Leadership-Poor-Results/Poor-Leadership-Poor-Results.html A malaise exists in many organisations which limits their ability to achieve even modest goals.

Working together as a team helps to create a more positive workforce, is valuable for sharing ideas and energy for problem solving, and provides more bodies to share the work and responsibilities. steve_hanson@pacificarticles.com (Steve Hanson) Thu, 07 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/1647/1/Would-Socrates-Be-A-Celebrity-Today/Would-Socrates-Be-A-Celebrity-Today.html Last week, as I was standing in the checkout line of my local grocery store, I found myself staring at the dozen or so magazines on display.
