Why You Should Know What Your Leaders Do.
All great hockey players are ambitious and have a desire to win. Therefore, if I am ambitious and have a desire to win, I should become a great hockey player. As silly as this sounds, versions of this logic arise in leadership development. Example: We study a select group of great leaders, see what attributes they have in common, and then make conclusions about which leadership attributes are required for anyone aspiring to be a great leader.

How Big is Your Blind Spot?
So now another high-profile male political figure has come clean about his lack of integrity. The past couple of years have been busy ones: from Spitzer and Edwards, to Kilpactrick, Ensign, and now Sanford. ABC News even has a web site devoted to "Politicians Who Cheat": http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/popup?id=7893148 There's 17 featured in all, all male (but that's a subject for a different 60-Second Email™).

Leadership Lessons from The Economic Meltdown
In this month's 60-Second Email™, we highlight a handful of leadership lessons learned from the recession. Issue: Corporate Extravagance & Excess during an Economic Crisis Leadership Lesson: Values flow from the top. Period. People grow numb listening to platitudes and well worn speeches.

Fear: Maybe not a Friend, but a Reliable Companion
This past weekend at a local conference, I delivered a presentation on overcoming barriers to effective talent development. I also had the chance to attend other presentations too. At one, the facilitator split the room into sections, and labeled each one with a specific emotion. He then asked people to stand in the section that best described the atmosphere in their company.
