Gentle Stewardship
Humility is the key to 鈥榞ood鈥� leadership and the antidote to those models of 鈥榟eroic鈥� leadership that were always doomed to fail, writes Sharon Turnbull.
Good Leaders Don't Forget About Community
Since the 1980s we have heard much about 鈥榣eadership鈥�; its impact on organizations and being a valued and rare quality. Countless numbers of books, articles, research projects, seminars and papers have been devoted to this subject. A Google search of the term leadership will yield 147 million hits. Must be important!

The Art (NOT Science) of Management鈥揳nd Its Cousin Leadership
It seems that a number of people want to be scientists, or at least in the sense of ostensibly adding credibility to their respective field of work. Economists (of which I鈥檝e been a practitioner since 1982) and those in the leadership field (yours truly since the early nineties) covet the science moniker. Adding the word 鈥渟cience鈥� adds a certain cachet to one鈥檚 profession.

How Women Leaders Have Transformed Management
In a recent New York Times column, 鈥淗ow to Get a Job at Google,鈥� Thomas Friedman interviews Laszlo Bock, the company鈥檚 senior vice president for people operations (which seems to be Google-speak for talent management). Bock notes that because constant innovation is increasingly a group endeavor, people who succeed in the company 鈥渢end to be those with a lot of soft skills: leadership, humility, collaboration, adaptability, and loving to learn and re-learn.鈥�
