What do you think of Schultz’s ideas on leadership? Do you agree/disagree and why? Have you seen your own managers as insecure - or the opposite? Enjoy - and feel free to forward to your friends and colleagues! And remember, post your comments in response to the article at that link (http://managementinaminute.blogspot.com/2011/05/instant-mba-good-ceos-are-insecure-and.html).
