At least not if you’re working for Donald Trump.  Piers Morgan’s victory over Trace Adkins as the winner of the Celebrity Apprentice contest shouldn’t be confused with true leadership.  I know leadership and Piers, you’re no leader.  Yes, he made a lot of money… but plenty of people do the same and they’re not leaders.  They’re lone rangers.  Others don’t want to work with them.  They demean and dispirit the very people who depend on them and who they depend on for success.  Their style works in the short-term but they fail to get long-term trust, cooperation, and commitment.  If you’re thinking you might be too nice for the corner office I don’t recommend that you follow Piers’ lead — the advice Carol and Kathleen gave you in this week’s posts is far sounder – and you can still look yourself in the mirror.
