About the Author:
John R. O'Neil is president of the Center for Leadership Renewal. He serves on several boards and is an author, speaker, and adviser on leadership issues for major corporations and CEOs.
From Library Journal:
When is success not really success? When it leads to stagnation and hubris, says business consultant O'Neil. The very traits extolled by many current books on success and leadership can become counterproductive if they are not tempered by introspection. For example, healthy egos become overinflated, dedication leads to workaholism, and perseverance can harden into a rigid resistance to change. O'Neil shows how busy people need to step back periodically from their workaday lives in order to achieve self-renewal. He identifies a wide range of activities, especially various forms of retreat, that can lead to renewal at both personal and professional levels. Although addressed primarily to leaders, this advice would benefit anyone in a work situation that is pressure-laden but ultimately lacking in real personal satisfaction. Recommended for popular psychology and business collections as an antidote to overly zealous success books.
