I am not threatened by the fact you are in business for yourself. I just watched your leadership snippets. The critics can screw off. You just offered up some valuable and timely information for free. You obviously have a passion to impart wisdom that will help people. It cannot be held back because people are unwilling to attend your seminars and respond. Thank you! You helped me today. Thank you so much for being a kind person Dov.

We are all vulnerable to ego.....sometimes it just to rewarding not to ignore it! Transparent, authentic leadership is inspiring - whenever you find it, YOU KNOW IT. Surprisingly, once the boss sheds the layers of ego, the authentic leader generally always shows up. Glad you are focusing on this area now because everyone benefits from a good leader! Cheers.....

They do not really accept them. In turn they want to trust what is perfect or what appears to be. Imperfections make people more comfortable, but I think people prefer to be lead by dynamic individuals who focus on success.  People are afraid of their imperfections.

Connecting with people can be such a high (it is for me much of the time), but I worry about getting hemmed in by my need to appear consistent. You see that with, for instance, musicians writing the songs that made them popular in order to keep their fan base - whereas others appear much braver when they follow their artistic muse even it means their music really changes and people don't end up liking it as much.  Thanks for that article Dov – appreciated it.

As much as Steve did - he left so much "Potential' revenue and success on the table.  One example is that He dramatically limited himself with the Safari browser on all of his apps and most websites use Adobe Flash and Shockwave software as a standard for playing videos while Safari uses their Quick Time only. This has made it very hard to view many sites in their full capabilities and also a huge reason why Google was able to come up with the Droid operating system now owns 74% of the market and counting. Android is "Open Source' which means anyone can use the "kernel" of the program and customize it to build applications. Additionally as much as I like Steve (he's not as heartless as many purported though) he was known to be tyrannical and often alienated people and many a person left Apple and went on to be legends elsewhere like Guy Kawasaki their Former Chief Evangelist (his real title) Guy has written many books, founded a Tech VC firm called Garage.com and the ultra popular site Alltop. Other Prominent Apple alumni include: ~ Marc Benioff - founder of Salesforce.com ~ Trip Hawkins, who started Electronic Arts ~ Andy Rubin, Found the Android operating system and now leads mobile efforts at Google ~ Reid Hoffman, Co-founder LinkedIn ~ Evan Doll, a former iPhone software engineer, left to co-found iPad reader Flipboard. ~ Loren Brichter left Apple and created the popular application Tweetie, which Twitter acquired and turned into its official mobile app. ~ Dave Morin co-created Facebook Platform, which enables developers to build apps on the social network, and Facebook Connect, which allows people to sign in to other websites using their Facebook profiles. Imagine if THOSE were owned by Apple. And Apple is in the BEST position of anyone to own its own mobile network and Wireless 4g network for Streaming TV PLUS they could have the World's largest Social Network but never had the Cohesive Teamwork to get it done. I created the first Social Network for kids at Disney Interactive and Michael Eisner, like Steve Jobs, ran the company by fear, intimidation and massive control and they too had the chance to be of MUCH greater service to Customers, have REVOLUTIONARY people with technologies and platforms that could literally change the course of humanity in so many ways that I would digress to mention them. The "New Economy" CAN NOT and WILL NOT allow the likes of these individuals to have such a disproportionate amount of power - equivalent almost to that of World Dictators who have had their day and People are beginning to understand that THEY have much more power than they were TAUGHT to believe about themselves and "It is to that end" that anyone ever hoping to succeed anywhere in the arena of tens to hundreds of thousands of Customers MUST understand that "The 'King' (Absolute Power) is dead - Long live the New King (Co-operative, Synergistic Teams).

I think people are starved for others to look up to. Good for you to teach people it takes more than the ability to earn money to earn hero status.
