A Fast Five on Leadership

I won’t have much time today (none, actually), but that’s OK, I still have a treat for you. The Practice of Leadership blog has always been one of my favorite reads, and George Ambler has some recent posts I thought were exceptionally good.

So, in lieu of trying to summarize, embellish, or otherwise add unnecessary comments, I simply give you:

Fish rot from the head down, as do organizations

The Army’s Leadership Framework and Philosophy

Leaders are NOT parents!

Five Steps to Engaging Your Employees

Management f-Laws

Take a few minutes this week and read these posts, then bookmark the blog. You’ll thank me later.

By the way, you may or may not have noticed a new feature I’m trying out here at the Zone. If you hover your cursor over a link, you should see a preview page of the link pop up automatically. This is a free widget from Snap, and it works only on the body of the blog posts. Thanks to John Koetsier for the heads-up. Let me know what you think!

Say, do us all a favor, won't you? We’re fairly easy-going around these here parts, but please do NOT enter a keyword phrase or a business, product or service name as YOUR name in the comment section. It will likely get your comment labeled as spam and deleted. You MAY, however, use a real name, nickname or handle, along with a brief identifying phrase, such as "Big Bubba, Midnight Cowboy." Thanks a herd, and a tip o’ the hat to ya! - Ed.
