The foreward of Inspire was written by 13 CEOs who cannot speak highly enough about how these ideas changed their lives and organizations. The need to inspire has never been greater than it is today, when many people feel afraid, cynical, and resigned. Inspiring people in the 1990s was an entirely different proposition; people were lighter, more optimistic, filled with a sense of abundance. Yet people yearn to be inspired more than ever; the need for inspiration has never been greater, especially at work—but where can you find it? The best that most companies can do is try to motivate their people with traditional leadership models. In his international bestselling book, Inspire! What Great Leaders Do, Dr. Lance Secretan offers an inspiring alternative, a tested way to learn how to inspire from within one's self and use this self-knowledge to inspire others. It starts with the individual and it does transform organizations. This transformational process is Higher Ground Leadership™.

The dictionary defines motivation as providing someone with a motive; to move, impel, induce, incite. By contrast, to inspire means to infuse with an encouraging or exalting influence, to animate, to stimulate by a divinity, a genius, an idea or a passion. The word is derived from the Latin root spirare, meaning to breathe, to give life, to express. Inspiring is other-focused while motivating is self-focused. Inspiring serves you where motivating serves me. The difference in organizations is palpable: inspired people arouse the hearts of others—employees and colleagues, customers and suppliers—and this translates directly into improved business performance.

Inspire! What Great Leaders Do teaches business leaders how to inspire superior performance by speaking to the inner lives and deeper needs of employees and anyone with whom you have a business relationship, and by aligning their desires with your organization's cause—rather than seducing them with carrots that speak only to their outer lives and superficial selves. Secretan's goals are lofty, but the approach is practical. Inspire! is full of proven methods for connecting with the soul, the real self. It provides valuable guidance for awakening the passion of others and a host of stories that illustrate how inspiring leaders have transformed their business environment from places of fear and resignation to powerhouses of effective performance.
