'Pyramids were built by leadership skills, not slavery'
Press Trust of India ^ | May 23, 2011 | Staff Reporter

It was the leadership skills of the rulers and not the bondage of slavery that motivated the labourers to toil hard in building the ancient Egyptian pyramids, claims a top leadership guru.

Indonesia-based Arthur Carmazzi will soon come out with a book arguing how the leadership skills of the rulers of Egypt were responsible for building the giant structures regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

"Various researches have already shown that the labourers were not slaves. It was more about getting work done through leadership skills, rather than by slavery and exploitation. Even today we look at those tombs with amazement as to how they were built in the ancient ages. In my book, I will discuss how the labourers were motivated," Carmazzi told PTI here.

The best-selling author and leadership trainer was in the city recently to give a motivational lecture for a fundraising event of Calcutta Park Street Round Table 34.

To be released this August, the book titled 'Team Leadership Lessons from the Great Pyramids' will have case studies on how the builders treated the workers, how they tried to build up a rapport with their large workforce and how they ultimately won their trust.

"It is very interesting to learn how even thousands of years ago, when even the word management was not born, the rulers got their task done by applying leadership skills effectively. It is an excellent example of what difference can leadership skills make," said Carmazzi, ranked as one of the top ten most influential Global Leadership Gurus by Gurus International.

He said I should lead myself to a stack of lumber and lead the re-stacking of it properly.

He told you to get the "lead" out. ;-)

No Muslim wants a Jew to lay claim to building their pyramids. That’s what this is all about. Of course, that the Egyptians weren’t Muslims is lost on them, but race baiting is like horseshoes.

Never have - there was in 1307 on Friday the 13th when the king of France and the pope attacked the order trying to destroy them. It is Catholics that tend not to accept masons.

There is no rule a Catholic can join and be a mason however some Churches and a lot of European countries bann them.

Germany as an example.

More masons were killed as a percentage of population by the nazi’s the jews.

I still have no idea why the whole motivational speaker scam imploded, or as the kids used to say, “is so over”.

http://www.amazon.com/Arthur-Carmazzi/e/B002BMCCII

[snip] In his more recent books, Carmazzi took lessons from his own life and failures (including his wife leaving him) and expressed his take on nurturing change that supports individual and group/organizational growth. In the December 2002 “Identity Intelligence” was published and ranked 32 in sales on the first day of release, only to be taken off the shelves by the threat of a law suit for improper structure in referencing of his research. When the matter was solved in Carmazzi’s favor 4 years later, the publishers no longer accepted the title for distribution. The book only sold about 12,200 copies at Carmazzi’s talks and website by 2006. [/snip]
