However instead of the "Grow when you gotta" alternative I like to emphasize that unless we are improving we as individuals or as organizations are standing still or moving backwards. You need to improve to maintain what you have, and it may also lead to growth. Sticking to the tried and true leads to stagnancy and boredom. The need to grow (or win) is a part of our culture but instead of the alternative that some preach to their children when they are involved in activities "to just have fun", as in business, we also need to try and get better at whatever it is we are doing - both are important.

The power-hungry are driven to power, and niceness is not only not required, but is likely to hamper the typically ambitious. I hope I misunderstand how power politics work, but I suspect that it is what I think it is. “being nice may hinder your career and impede results”

It may be possible to keep winning always however it may come at a very high price that the individual pays.

As an expert in positive appreciative leadership for 30 years (I was the lonely pioneer), I can attest to your accuracy. And here is one more, my favorite that is blatantly untrue: No pain, no gain! All my positive leadership systems are about less pain more gain, and they work!! The less pain, the more gain. The strengths-based expert approach and systems create zero fear, zero pain and zero resistance to change. Just the opposite of what I was taught in grad. school in the old problem-solving model. No wonder I got in trouble there when I started my appreciative leadership work--just the opposite of what they were teaching me. Hohohohoho! It's been a blast strengthening results and people. I have books too! www.whatyousayiswhatyouget.com Thanks so much for speaking out on this--I love it!! Dr. LInne Bourget MA MBA Ph.D. You are so right!
