Places in opposition the honor\/shame model of pre-Christian times with the humility model for leadership since. Much food for thought.\u00a0But I was a bit surprised by the amount of ink devoted to Sir Edmund Hillary. A remarkable man \u2013 but surely it was Tenzing Norgay who was the servant-leader of the Everest story? And I was completely distracted by the way the book all but ignored one particular social group: a group that consists of people who throughout history have found it natural to be of influence by serving and supporting; who have consistently and quietly surrendered their own needs to those of others; who have never established an honor\/shame society. (I hope?) True, the author is fairly even-handed with his types (&#8220;Jane, CEO of an electronics company &#8230;&#8221;) but I remember only two real women from this book &#8211; and one of those was included alongside her husband but barely mentioned thereafter.<\/li>\n<li>READ <em>Dakota. <\/em>Revisited for this semester&#8217;s vocation reading group.
