I think that evolution has had a hand in selecting people who had a sense of doing something beyond themselves.

In large organizations the dilution of information as it passes up and down the hierarchy, and horizontally across departments, can undermine the effort to focus on common goals.

To gain control over the quality of experience, one needs to learn how to build enjoyment into what happens day in, day out.

A joyful life is an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe.

Creative individuals are more likely to have not only the strengths of their own gender but those of the other one, too.

However, a good life consists of more than simply the totality of enjoyable experiences. It must also have a meaningful pattern, a trajectory of growth that results in the development of increasing emotional, cognitive, and social complexity.

...perhaps the most distinguishing trait of visionary leaders is that they believe in a goal that benefits not only themselves, but others as well. It is such vision that attracts the psychic energy of other people, and makes them willing to work beyond the call of duty for the organization.
