Begining of Leaders Notes

Greetings all and welcome to this new blog.

Some background and introduction.

For many years I have been a student of leadership, as well as a presenter of leadership training in several of the organizations I am involved in.  And yes, I have been a leader in some of the organizations I am involved in.

With one of the groups I am in, I got a little frustrated not just by the lack of knowledge in leadership and leadership concepts, but a general attitude of the members to even go out and learn more about leadership in general beyond what was presented within the organization.

With that in mind, I started a series of articles on the topic of leadership that was emailed out to an informaion national email list of members within the organization, in the hopes of helping people learn more of leadership.  I felt the work I had done was good, but wanted to reach a larger audience.

Hence, this blog.

My general goal is to have a posting every Friday.  These posting will be taken from my original articles, with some re-writing as needed, maybe some updating.  Many of them will be book reviews, others will focus on leadership concepts (tho will include resources to learn more).  Topics that will covered include servant leadership, situational leadership, high performing teams, and others.  I have a whole sub-series on meeting management and parliamentary procedure.

In-between those posting will be others on leadership matters.  Maybe alerts about leadership events and other news items.

I encourage people to link to this blog, forward the link to articles to friends, post comments, and the like.

Look for the first formal posting this Friday.
