Success, motivation, and teamwork are the goals of the guys on the top for those of us trying to work away at the bottom. I found some interesting thoughts on ideas in a book on amazon..
Responsibility - Why stick your neck out when you can stick your head in?
Communication - Speak softly and carry a big bag of excuses.
Teamwork - In the office body, there are many armpits.
Service - “Start each day with a smile - and get it over with.” - W.C. Fields
Priorities - Feather your own nest while others around you are moulting.
Productivity - Anything worth not having is worth not working for.
Success - After clawing your way to the top, get used to your new title
These and other ‘gems’ of survival in cube world are in ‘Soar Above The Madness Surviving Office Politics Without Losing Your Mind, Your Job, Or Your Lunch’. If your in the UK you can buy it from
amazon.co.uk or if your a USA reader you can order it from amazon.com.

Motivational indeed. And I think a better leader knows or possesses all of these.
Btw, I like your site’s header picture.
