This is a very timely find for this session. To think that an old tale states that "curiosity killed the cat" and yet it is the curiosity that may be able to cure our ills in communication. The piece I discovered here is that many folks leave trainings and go back to work with "so what now" after the leadership trainings. I needed to be reminded that this is always a journey and process that develops over time.

Go to my site and down load the PDF Brochurehttp://www.co2partners.com/executive-coaching/coaching_contact_gary.html. These learning challenges are both a blessing and a curse. Just depends where you are in the process. I have come up with an interesting model that you can look at to help your men-tees get this concept of leadership.

I however mentor three young entrepreneurs. I have been a great advocate of Managing by wandering around for quite some time and part of that is of course the asking questions aspect. I however find with my mentees that while they are willing to do the wandering they indulge more in telling than asking. I have just had a session with one of them and read out parts of the interview. He seems to be amazed that entrepreneurs in the USA like you and GL too have problems similar to the ones he has here. The difficulty is in getting these youngsters to understand the differences between entrepreneurship, management and leadership. I am trying to get them to understand but it is an uphill task. There seems to be a mental block when it comes to playing leadership roles and understanding the concept behind it. There is an unfortunate situation here in that a leader is called a NETA, and it has now become a derogatory term for sleazy politicians. I am however battling the block. I eagerly await McGraw Hill India's Indian edition. Gary, unfortunately, I am retired from active business life. I however mentor three young entrepreneurs.
