Sharma: The 8 Forms of Wealth
Editor’s note: This is the fifth in the series of Robin Sharma blog posts for his six-week leadership challenge, “Become the Leader You Were Meant to Be.” Join the discussion on Facebook about Robin’s challenge posts.
A while back, I gave a full-day leadership seminar attended by managers and executives from companies like American Express, Infosys, Gap and Dell. One of the ideas that many of the people in the room told me was most helpful was my “8 Forms of Wealth” model that I’ve been sharing with our corporate clients during the past year.
