So, just how many leadership traits are there: 7? 8? 9? 10? 13? 17? 21? 22? 124? 180?

And how fast can one become a leader? Some writers make the dubious claim that you can become a leader in as few as 60 seconds. Another author claims it can be done in as little as 10 seconds. And, not to be outdone, yet another author claims that you can become a leader “now.”

In spite of this deluge of confusing advice about leadership, reports of massive corporate collapses continue to dominate the business headlines:


AVS Sputters into Chapter 11
Japan Registers Third-highest Number of Corporate Failures Since WWII
Germany Posts 25% Rise in Corporate Failures
Charges Filed in HP Spying Scandal
Lucent Posts $7.9B Loss
Tyco to Cut 7,100 Jobs, 24 Factories
Delta to Cut 8,000 Jobs
Kodak to cut 15,000

You are well on your way to "global" communication with The Genesis Principle. I can't wait to read the book.

Would you consider hooking with my Small Business Development Corporation, or Leaders In Balance for the Leadership component? I think it would be great!
