The Inspirational Leader

Businesses must discard pyramid-shaped organizational structures and embrace love as the core of good management, asserts Gifford Thomas, the Trinidad-based founder of Leadership First.

Thomas writes passionately about important subjects that management thinkers rarely discuss. He debunks management concepts from ancient Greek thinkers, who believed dominant people made great leaders. Instead, he reports, history demonstrates that people perform best when their leaders inspire them, rather than command or coerce them.
