Developing a Leadership Culture-Part Three "Eagle Scout"

One of the achievements that I am proudest of from my childhood is achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

I recently watched an Oprah Winfrey show with Iyanla Vanzant on the epidemic of fatherlessness in America. If you watched the show you know just how powerful it was to see an audience full of men, who had grown up without a father, still trying to learn and discover what it means to be a man, without having the benefit of their own dads guiding them on their journeys. 

In many ways I’ve come to realize that leadership works the same way. Here is what I mean...

How many of you have run into “leaders” that were just obnoxious? People who felt that leadership was all about barking orders, pointing fingers, controlling everything, taking credit and just being the “boss.” Ever worked for someone like that? Did you enjoy the experience?
