Leadership "Fads"...REALLY? DeMarco Counter Banter
I came across an article yesterday, 5 Leadership Fads to Ignore by Steve Tobak in inc.com (view original). I usually quite fond of Mr. Tobak’s work…honestly, he is a man who has produced some great, thought provoking articles… just click here. I am all about the strong contrarian article, hence the reason I clicked on the link….but this piece has me scratching my bald head wondering if perhaps Steve was being perhaps “too clever by half.” I have long struggled with “some academic, researcher, leadership guru, former somebody, or current wannabe (who) writes a book that catches on and becomes the latest and greatest business or self-help fad.” Usually I have to ask…what makes this guy or girl an expert?

Live High! Jason Mraz, Songs that make me…think…
I try to picture a girl through a looking glass
And see her as a carbon atom, see her eyes and stare back at them
See the girl as her own new world
Though her home is on the surface she is still a universe
Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
I try to picture the man to always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree, see him as matter
Matter of fact he’s not a beast
No, not the devil either, always a good deed doer
Well, it’s laughter that we’re makin’ after all
The call of the wild is still in order nationwide
In the order of the primates all our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is an assembly selling gratitude and practicing their lovin’ of you
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
And oh, let’s take it easy and celebrate the malleable reality
Because nothing is ever as it seems, this life is but a dream
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously, let’s take it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously takin’ it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously, let’s take it easy
