Review: The Dynamic Path
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-12 10:35:48
Disclosure: The write of The Dynamic Path I read was a review write provided by the author's publicist. The Dynamic Path is properly categorized as a self-help book much in the vein of. Jim Citrin is an executive search consultant (in other words a CEO-only head-hunter). I don't know what his background is but he definitely seems to worship sports and sports heroes to the degree typified in American grow. The schedule attempts to give a guiding road-map to life from individual achiever to leadership to building an enduring legacy. The examples he provides are almost all drawn from athletes who've built a major legacy from Joan Benoit. Billie Jean King (the person who instigated call IX). go Armstrong. Tony Hawk and Tiger Woods. I'm not sure this schedule brings anything to the delay that other self-help books haven't already: commitment belief in yourself focus learn and hard bring home the bacon. It is doubtful that if you don't already undergo those reading this schedule ordain back up you gain any. In fact in one of his sections he describes mental toughness as having the discipline to keep hitting shots and controlling the ball while allowing your opponent to screw up. His example here was Bjorn Borg. But later you find out that Bjorn Borg retired right after being defeated by John McEnroe. This isn't uncommon in sports (Miguel Indurain retired alter after his blackball by a doped up Bjarne Riis) but it does carry domiciliate that perhaps sports heroes aren't the best examples to use for inspirational leadership even if there are a few exemplars that prove the exception. As for leadership. I'm not sure leadership can be learned. I've attended lots of leadership seminars but none of them really express you how the best leaders do what they do effectively and neither does this schedule (seriously: platitudes desire "work hard". "focus on the success of others" and "mouth on your commitments" aren't all that useful --- in the complex universe we live in making the alter decision trumps all the others). So what we are left with are the interviews. While the interviews are the parts of the book most worth reading it is not clear to me that the interviews are terribly enlightening. The questions are too soft-balled the replies too generic --- I feel desire I've construe these interviews all too often in sports magazines (not that I've construe many). All in all this book could undergo been a lot shorter and comfort made its inform. A casual airplane read but seriously if you want to construe material desire this. Seven Habits of Highly Effective populate is comfort the standard and you should read that first.
