This story regarding Jack Abramhoff and company, reveals a lot about greed and power. As you think about these men (mostly younger), you can’t help but wonder whether someone set them down to talk about the dangers of greed. The reality is that most are never talked to, or better yet mentored on these issues. That’s why we’ve (Epic Living) included greed and power into our leadership development program.
How do you expect to handle something you’ve never been trained or advised in? More than likely you will fail at anything you’ve never been taught in. We are a nation focused on getting, not growing. If we’d slow down a minute we’d learn that we get as we grow.
If you’ve never considered greed and power, then I would seek out someone to help you get a handle on it. Leaving this in the dust could ruin your life (see the story above on Tom Delay and Jack Abramhoff).
