"The difference between what we’re doing and what we’re capable of doing would solve most of the world’s problems"-
Mahatma Gandhi, Hindu lawyer, pacifist and political activist
The Seven Motivations of Life and Leadership helps you to answer big questions in your life, such as:
• Who am I?
• What is my purpose?
• Where am I going?
• How can I lead myself and others better?
This book defines the key characteristics of being human, sheds light on common life experiences and provides practical ways that you can release more of your potential into your life. The ground breaking motivational theory in this book predicts and explains the empirical results of what makes a great leader which were identified by Jim Collins and his team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and then reported in his bestselling book: GOOD TO GREAT. His book provides the facts (through extensive empirical research) while it is The Seven Motivations of Life and Leadership which provides the theory which explains why Collins' team got the results they got. It also enables much wider predictions and answers to questions like: how can I practically, effectively and comprehensively deal with critical issues in my life, what is leadership really about and who really demonstrates it, and why might the major world religions give the specific life advice they do?
