The dynamic path

I recently read James M. Executive Search Consultant Citrin 's The Dynamic Path, which promises "to [a] access to the secrets of the masters for the size of mental toughness, inspired leadership and personal transformation." In short, the book looks at how many athletes took to the red thread through the four stages of success that allows Citrine identified progress relating to: individual, teacher, leader, and legacy. He asks what the individualswho managed to leave a legacy learned, what skills they possessed and how those lessons may be applied in a corporate environment.

Citrine first lesson is the following:

The talent and hard work are a good start ... To reach this size requires something more, something more subtle. It requires the acquisition and application of joint efforts by the top performers in sports, business or other: mental strength and ability to remain calm and collected in big moments.

Citrinestates that require the development of individuals in the sample stage, leaders and the legacy of the dynamic that powers Path peak values at some points along the way: natural talent / intelligence, work ethic / dedication and mental strength to peak to solve problems in the sample, the level of their individual results. Leadership that has developed along the road leading to the peak stage along with the development of moral / spiritual eyes, so that the individualcollective achievement of common results - the excellence of the group. Moral and spiritual leadership continues to grow, until it culminated in the legacy phase, in which the collective power creates lasting results that will have long-lasting effect is achieved.

Examples of those who have attained the status of heritage include Bill Bradley, the number of sports victories and intellectual achievements as a Rhodes Scholar, has reached the long-term success of his service as completedSenator. Citrine is also stressed by Arnold Palmer (the golfer, attention has generally used its unique success in establishing health, creating the PGA Tour and the development of the Golf Channel), Arthur Ashe (tennis player, is the Open was the first African-American man to win the United States, and a Grand Slam among many others, then co-founded the U.S. National Junior Tennis League and was of racism and poverty, before his untimely death to remove ' contracted HIV during aBlood transfusion) and Lance Armstrong (who beat cancer and 7-winner of the Tour de France, which is trying to remove the cancer). Citrine offers stories of many others, famous and otherwise, which illustrate the manner in which he describes.

I enjoyed reading this book because it separates what makes a good leader - one for a season - of what enables a good leader to create a legacy - one for the ages. The book is easy to read, and it is interesting (not for sports fansanyway to get to), a little 'more about what some sports figures reached after their sporting career. The book is interesting, sometimes shrill, teaching a mixture of personal sketches and attempts to use sport-lessons that can translate the lessons. Citrine adds his point of view of the book, which sometimes read more than a magazine that a textbook.

One conclusion that remains with me is that the increase in team sports for children andespecially for girls, probably a significant advantage for the new generations of aspiring leaders. Citrine has done an excellent case for teaching, can teach the sport, and is a good reminder that all those who play football can now pay only years later, when he said that if the path is a dynamic would exaggerated roadmap for the transformation of the lessons in business leadership.
