Passion

Steven S. Taylor

Chapter Chapter Four in Leadership Craft, Leadership Art, 2012, pp 53-80 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the job interview scenes in the previous chapter, would you hire Joe? Would you want Joe, a former weapons systems countermeasures team leader, to lead your lawn mower manufacturing engineering group? Or would you prefer someone with almost no managerial experience who races lawn mowers on the weekend? If you were Joe and you had been working at the cutting edge of technology in advanced weapons systems development, would you want to lead a lawn mower manufacturing engineering group? In the abstract, this is a question of how well leadership skills can transfer from one domain to another and a question about underlying passion. I’ll look at the domain question in chapter 6 and explore the topic of passion here.
