With the publication of They Love You They Hate You: Discovering
Leadership in 2007, a new comprehensive review of basic leadership
behaviors were presented to global corporations and frontline
leaders that provided a guide to talent retention, empowerment,
engagement, and commitment building. Now Dr. Shelton introduces
"First They Came," a popular poem attributed to Martin Niemoller
describing how Hitler, during his rise to power, purged group after
group without much opposition. This is a continuance on the
principles of courage, trust, and serving others around you in a
transformational way. Transformational leadership is a philosophy
and a way of life; it cannot be gained in a leadership short course
but only through study, experience, and application. Constructive
leadership qualities are not secret and have been applied since the
beginning of mankind. Trust, kindness, integrity, empowerment,
communications, other orientation, knowledge seeking, motivation,
and courage are discussed in detail with supporting cases and
anecdotes. Many of these characteristics are not taught in the
academic schools of management, yet they remain as powerful today
as they had been in the past. "First They Came" originated as
anecdotes and life experiences regarding failed and successful acts
of leadership. Chapters in the book deal with leadership in
military, industry, academia, the Middle East, and across cultures.
In the end, Martin Niemoller's poem suggests that we must set our
moral standards higher and seek for one another's best interest in
life and in business.
