This blog is a call to arms to leadership. There are so few good leaders in today’s age that we are asking everyone reading this blog to consider leading others, either in a professional setting or an informal one.
We are not asking you to do this blindfolded, however. We are a group of academics and professionals who are interested in having others lead. We are willing to share our experience and research discoveries with you to aid you in your journey. In fact, Chris, the main author of some of these posts, is using this space to post and sort through studied topics potentially found in his future Ph.D. comprehensive exam. We will post the full range of leadership topics and ideas; you simply read and absorb some of the ideas for your own life.
Why do this?
- Because we know scores of people who would make fantastic leaders but choose not to because of a lack of passion or confidence
- Because we believe there is very little new “under the sun.” The more we read academic and popular literature, the more we see similar concepts recycled with slight variations
- Because we believe that most people know good leadership when they see it but struggle to understand how good leaders do what they do
- Because we believe that while leadership growth requires constant feedback and challenge, it is easier to succeed than to fail
With these ideas in mind, come join us in the revolution to LEAD – Lead Everywhere Anyone Daily. Read some of the blogs posted, try out an idea or two either with strangers or people you know, then build on your experiences until you are comfortable leading others. And if you ever have questions, please post in the comments.
We look forward to hearing your leadership stories!
