Fall selection shares traits of admirable, joyous leaders This fall, CASBO members participating in the association’s book club will be reading “The Good Among the Great: 19 Traits of the Most Admirable, Creative and Joyous People,” by Donald Van de Mark. In this book, Van de Mark, a longtime journalist for CNN, CNBC and a number of television news programs, takes an in-depth look at what makes a group of leading high achievers also, simply put, good people. Relying on the teachings of psychologist Abraham Maslow, Van de Mark identifies the 19 traits of self-actualized people. These traits, shared by only a minority of the world’s leader achievers, include awareness, decency, empathy and happiness. Van de Mark points out that these leaders are also loved by their associates, staff and competitors, and are often known for caring deeply for others and for positively influencing their communities. Along the way, the author shows how the same key traits are exhibited by successful people in all walks of life – from the famous to the dedicated but not widely known. At the end of each chapter, the author includes a number of “takeaways” that allow readers to identify, practice and nurture the key traits in themselves and others. These takeaways are designed to create a direct route to personal and professional achievement. Join your CASBO colleagues in this great read which includes interviews with U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley, professor Joseph Campbell, Rev. R. Maurice Boyd, Dr. Andrew Weil, Warren Buffet, Muriel Maffre of the San Francisco Ballet and others.
