The Power Of A Question

I am almost finished in redesigning my Leadership Self-Assessment Tool that supports leaders in understanding their style of leadership. I have developed Thought Leader – Team Leader – Supportive Leader – Visionary Leader & Organizational Leader.

The Outrageousness Of Leadership In Life

This past week friends have referred two very personal documentaries to me, Sly, and Maxine’s Baby. They tell the stories of Sylvester Stallone and Tyler Perry. Each of these men came through struggle and abuse with little reason for hope or high expectation yet for each there was a calling.

Leadership Qualities
