Enough reinventing leadership, already

The title of Bob Sutton's latest post makes lots of sense to me:

Most claims of originality are testimony to ignorance and most claims of magic are testimony to hubris.
I share his weariness of efforts to radically "reinvent leadership".

Reminds me yet again my fave quote "To rescue someone is to oppress them"

Hello again Johnnie.

Bob must have been inspired by my comment on this post: http://www.johnniemoore.com/blog/archives/002360.php :)

I can not say it better than Bob did, so I recommend everyone read his post and get back to work. Also, just go straight past the leadership and management section in your favorite bookstore. Don't collect $200 (or Euros or ??). A book on anthropology, foreign cooking or Tantric lovemaking would be much more beneficial to your life. (that is a general comment to addressed to everyone, not just Johnnie!)

BTW, here's the link to Bob's full post:

Hi Q - thanks for that link, I forgot to include it in the post but I've built it in now.
