A lot of leadership advice, training styles, and life philosophies pass by my desk in the course of my day job. Books like Emotional Intelligence 2.0, The Storyteller’s Secret, and Start With Why are sitting in my workspace right now.
When I’m really really lucky, those leadership philosophies and “life rules” inform and enrich my day job AND my writing life.

This is a thought-provoking distinction. The only thing I didn’t like about this story is the way he bypassed the obstacle. However, his point is valid.
