SEMLS Emerging Leaders

Monday, December 19, 2005

Last Friday we discussed Primal Leadership by Daniel Goleman. We all agreed that the idea of the leader creating the resonance for the work environment was something we had all experienced, but he defined it very clearly and the studies he cited were very interesting.
We also talked about the difficulty in maintaining that cheerful service environment at work, and the need for authenticity in our relationships with the people we work with.
Kathy said she has the film FISH! at her school and will attempt to bring it to our next session. We will be reading FISH! and Fish Sticks for the February meeting.
Anyone have anything to add about the Primal Leadership discussion?
