Today’s conversation touches upon the following topics:
Dark and Light Side of Leadership
The two extremes, and the middle – the transactional nature of leadership.
The 3-legged stool
The Seat: Doing the right thing
The legs:
Do you want to do it? Motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic
Can you do it? (Skills, abilities, etc)
The Resources – that’s where the leadership really falls into (tangible, intangible, etc.)
The “Race Car Driver” model
Transformational Leadership
Considering the emotional and spiritual aspects of leadership, in addition to the transactional aspect.
Comes difficult in the business environments where the main idea is that the only purpose of business is profit. Yet when implemented, transformational leadership brings lots of profit.
Ethics
The Dark Side of Leadership
How it’s been ignored for too long, and what it cost us. A good leader should lead people to confront the dark side.

Cooperation, but no control. Connections are weak ties.
This may be the single most important activity you can do for yourself and your career!

In today’s episode, we touch upon the following topics:
Biggest picture – the Universe (looking for patterns)
No straight lines in the Universe; either converging or diverging
Convergence on Earth – because of computers and the Internet
Network yields to the power, but ultimately gets rid of it
Business needs to be thinking in terms of convergence
Profit – filter of information
Primary scarcities – time and attention
Abundance – US is leading it
Converging, sharing, being part of a bigger pie, growing exponentially.
Information is going to be free. Sharing is having more – breaking from the paradigm of scarcity.
Dynamic Value
Value = Quality / Price
Pet rock – fad, because there was no opportunity cascade
Create value that people are willing to exchange for money; more valuable than the money they have.

The award winning Canadian documentary ‘The Corporation’ has been released on BitTorrent for free. Filmmaker Mark Achbar just released an updated “official” torrent of it. Everyone is free to download, watch, discuss, and share it.
The Corporation received more than 20 awards, including an audience award at the the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. The Film gives insight into the inner workings of large and powerful corporations, and how these affect our society.
The new torrent download includes a high-quality rip of the master DVD and a 40 minute interview with Joel Bakan, the author of the book and writer of the film. Mark Achbar actually dedicated a computer in his garage to do nothing but seed.
Although the torrent download is free, the filmmakers encourage people to donate a small fee if they like what they see. We asked Mark Achbar how the first round of donations went. He said, “since my initial torrent launch of The Corporation at the end of August, there have been $635.00 in contributions. They ranged from $2 to three very generous gifts of $100 each. All are very much appreciated.”

Communication is a process that allows organisms to exchange information by several methods. Communication requires that all parties understand a common language that is exchanged. A language is a system of symbols and the rules used to manipulate them. Language can also refer to the use of such systems as a general phenomenon. Though commonly used as a means of communication among people, human language is only one instance of this phenomenon. (Wikipedia)
