The media sometimes calls me a
leadership (or self-help) "guru." I'm
not. I'm just an ordinary guy who
happens to have learned ideas and
tools that have helped many human
beings reach their best lives and many
organizations get to world class.
But I must be really clear: I'm no
different from vou. I have mv
struggles, my frustrations and my own
fears—along with my hopes, goals and
dreams. I've had good seasons and
some deeply painful ones. I've made
some spectacularly good choices and
some outrageously bad mistakes. I'm
very human—a work in progress. If I
have ideas that you find insightful,
please know it's simply because I
spend my days focused on the
knowledge you are about to
experience. Thinking about practical
ways to help you play your biggest
game as a human being and reach
greatness. Dwelling on how I can help
companies get to the extraordinary.
Do anything long enough and you'll
get some depth of insight and
understanding about it. Then they'll
call you a guru.
A man at a signing I did at a
bookstore in Bangalore, India, heard
me say, "I'm no guru." He came up to
me and said: "Why are you so
uncomfortable being called a guru?
'Gu' simply means 'darkness' in
Sanskrit and 'ru' simple means
'dispel.' So the word 'guru' simply
speaks of one who dispels the
darkness and brings more
understanding and light." Nice point.
Made me think. |
