In Inter-organizational Competition: Does the Leader Cause Cohesion or Chaos?, author Dr. Joyce L. Suber capitalizes on the elements of competition and leadership. With stark realism, Suber shares a vast amount of information on these two elements by bringing to life the truth about the nature of leadership and competition within an organization. Dr. Suber is convinced that intra-organizational competition is negative and has an increased potential to impede team performance and relationships. Business-oriented relationships are extremely important to create sustainable organizations. Past research has suggested intra-organizational competition may be debilitating on teamwork within an organization. In light of this, Dr. Suber examines if a particular leadership style encourages the growth of non-productive, negative competition within intra-organizational environments. Additionally, this book explores whether leaders need to be mindful of the fact their particular leadership style. The focus of the research model is elite leaders and their direct reports from varied industries. Suber's findings challenges leadership theorists to re-examine how other conduits influence leadership style (i.e., communication style) and the consequences of style (i.e., organizational culture) against the effects of intra-organizational competition.

Human history offers countless examples of how easy it is for humans to grow entangled with very sick and perverted cultures. Much more difficult - yet all the more rewarding and necessary - is to learn how to recognize and break your own indoctrination, and free yourself from the mental prison it creates. Our ability to think and question is the trait that separates us from animals and makes us distinctly human. One can awaken, decode one's own programming and squirm free of the circle of suggestion created by time and culture. One can become liberated from the illusions of zeitgeist, learn to think for oneself and free oneself of the dictation fo time-bound wisdom. The one who can separate time-bound illusion from timeless truth is no longer under the control of any ideology, sect, institution, or autocracy. One's thinking becomes independent and one's behavior is based on timeless wisdom issuing forth from the universal intelligence. It is time to wake up! If you feel within yourself that everything doesn't quite add up right, and you feel compelling need to see into the unpolluted truth, unadulterated by opinions and truths of the times, you will have to sooner or later begin to interpret the source code of our societal system - its economic and monetary systems - and the societal mechanisms that have grown to be supported by it, for in these mechanisms is hidden the seed of humanity's collective ten-thousand-year-old mental illness.
