Summary: Getting a spirited, productive workforce
Comment: Our struggles in the American workforce cause us to focus on reforms, programs, additional training and tougher evaluations. Worthy efforts, but those still don't fix the problems. Russ Moxley has captured in an easy to read, thought- and heart-provoking book, vital characteristics and behaviors which have the potential to solving some of those issues. I have observed in many organizations the three (3) practices that will create dispirited organizations. Those descriptions alone are worth the price of the book and if addressed, have the potential for transforming a workplace. The five requirements for a new model of leadership will create spirited thoughts and conversations for all who read it! There are very important lessons in this book. You'll be glad you read it, and you will have new insights into how to create a spirited workplace.

Summary: 'Will stimulate the "vision thing."
Comment: Leadership & Spirit by Moxley (brought to you by those folks at the Center for Creative Leadership) manages to be clear, engaging, and concise with an economy of words that borders on simply being beautiful. No fluff or padding here. It's sprinkled with quotes from all aspects of life that highlight and explain a particular process or idea (i.e. courage, coercive power, spirit, team partnership, etc...). Most importantly, this is not more pop psychology, New Age spirituality, or academic business theory. It simply and subtlety touches timeless truths without demeaning them or reducing them to blandness. While not written down to anyone, it has somehow brought to life the simple wisdom we know lies under the surface of complexity. If you're "there" or get some of it (ref: the simple sayings of Chauncy Gardner in the old Seller's movie "Being There"), this can help you get more of it. The vision thing ... 'maybe not as elusive as we think! If Covey is too wordy and leaves you frustrated about how to get "there", if you admire the courage of a nay-saying Morton Thiokol engineer, or if you appreciate pithy references to people like Coach Phil Jackson, physicist-theorist David Bohm, philosopher Ken Wilber, or business leadership prognosticators Warren Bennis and Peter Senge or are just looking for inspiration and suspect that our species is moving out of coercive behaviors for dealing with life's challenges, then this book could be for you.
