leadership is an art

i recently finished reading leadership is an art by max depree.  i found the book to be quite insightful.  i am a “baby” leader.  anyone who has had a conversation with me on the topic could figure this out.  the book made me realize the amount of growth i have yet to experience as a leader of any sort.  max depree is a pretty intelligent, well thought out man.  i would give the book my recommendation.  there were two quotes from the book that i thought i would share:

“it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are,” (pg. 100)

“mahatma gandhi once wrote that there were seven sins in the world: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience; knowledge without character; commerce without morality; science without humanity; worship without sacrifice; politics without principle.  performance considered in light of those seven sins would be a well-reviewed performance indeed,” (pg. 120)
