"[Malcolm Gladwell's new book "Outliers"] is being received by reviewers as a call to action for the Obama age. It could lead policy makers to finally reject policies built on the assumption that people are coldly rational utility-maximizing individuals. It could cause them to focus more on policies that foster relationships, social bonds and cultures of achievement."

In this Op-Ed piece in yesterday's NY Times, it appears yet another call to the more socially coherent characteristics of the Rhineland leadership model: focus on holistic unity instead of individual gain over the common good. It seems to me to be a remedy for these troubled times.
