I could not agree more. I think I will write on the difference between leadership and management next because there is a huge difference. There is a situation right now at work that no amount of leadership will help me with, it simply has to be managed, this topic is a beast of its own. Either way, as you confirmed, leadership and (for me) management is a philosophy which never stops changing.
I like your stance on the idea that corporations are pushing corporate values and failing because of it. It is something that I have always believed but always ignored to some degree because I have colleagues who live at work which is their choice and I don't want to take that away from them. I don't think it applies to most people though so we are on the same page there.
