I personally do not share entirely the competitive values that are promoted. Sometimes they can have a counter effect on the individual. Oscar Wilde, formulated a beautiful thought that states-"A cynic is a person,who knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing." Oscar was always himself and he never tried or had to prove anything.He didn't have to. Something that is valid for every human being.But American culture,sports,etc, have to be by definition attractive to have success,popularity and fun,which unfortunately does not bring in happiness. I personally am more interested in topics that are similar to the ones advocated by Professor Philip Zimbardo (Psychologist), who states-"I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things,things that seem alien to their natures.Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?" The answer is, because of other people! What a great insight, relevant to all our lives, every day.

But the truth is I've learned and become a better leader by letting others in. Thanks for an interesting and practical Blog post!
