Ken Walks the talk and is one of the leadership icons of our time.

Nothing is wrong with accomplishing goals, but when you focus solely on results, you miss the big picture. As a result, things like morale and job satisfaction will tend to fall by the wayside. "Leading at a higher level is the process of achieving worthwhile results while acting with respect, care, and fairness for the well-being of all invlolved; It's only when you realize it's not all about you that you begin to lead at a higher level." - an excerpt from The Heart of a Leader. The Heart of a Leader is an absolute must have for new and seasoned managers alike.
