Is there another approach?

As I look along my bookshelves I see many hundreds of books on personal and professional development – almost all of which I have read and studied over the past fifteen years or so. Add to this the thousands of hours of seminars, conferences and retreats that I have attended on my own account and as part of our leadership research programme and the sheer amount of information about personal excellence in my head and on my shelves is overwhelming.

What is this all about? Why do some of us spend so much energy looking for the secrets of success in the words and ideas of so many authors?]]></summary></entry><entry><title>Is "authentic" just another faddish term?</title><category term="Authentic Pathfinders"/><category term="In our humble opinion"/><category term="Leadership"/><id>http://voice.mypathfinder.com/blog/2009/9/2/is-authentic-just-another-faddish-term.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://voice.mypathfinder.com/blog/2009/9/2/is-authentic-just-another-faddish-term.html"/><author><name>Adrian Gilpin</name></author><published>2009-09-02T22:07:35Z</published><updated>2009-09-02T22:07:35Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p>This question has just been posed by leadership blogger Dr Ada Gonzalez on <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?viewQuestionAndAnswers=&amp;gid=39736&amp;discussionID=6709609&amp;commentID=6194886#commentID_6194886" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> and the <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?viewQuestionAndAnswers=&amp;gid=39736&amp;discussionID=6709609&amp;commentID=6194886#commentID_6194886" target="_blank">Logos Noesis Blog</a>.&nbsp; This is a stimulating article (and great picture) and it triggered these thoughts in me ...</p>
