All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second,
a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man had taken
the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value
of your first.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Strategic Leadership 101
By Bridget Gilmore
If I told you that you could create an organization full of super-individuals
or strategic leaders that collaborate together and are committed to
create a sustainable competitive advantage, would you be interested
in how to do this? Ralph Stacy describes such people in his article
Learning as an Activity of Interdependent People, as individuals
that are in a state of duality when they communicate with each other.
He says that it creates an entity or system outside of themselves or
a kind of super-individual. The super-individual are interconnected,
has a cumulative mind and intentions influenced by a variety of values,
norms and traditions. How would a leader go about creating this type
of organization? I’m glad you asked!
Do you remember having a conversation with one of your parents as a
child, and they told you that company was coming over your house for
dinner? Do you remember the questions you asked? What? Who? When? Where?
How? These are the same questions that need to be answered to teach
you strategic leadership.

Book Review: Your Leadership Legacy
Robert M. Galford & Regina Fazio Maruca
I have read many leadership books but this one is the first one to
really make me think and try to apply the theories presented. As the
title states this book is about teaching you how to develop your leadership
legacy…. and they mean it. Whether it is helping you identify your
impact on your organization to creating a legacy statement and then
testing it, this book is not just stories of how other leaders work
(they do have some of this). Galford and Maruca have created a process
for helping you understand, build, test and audit your leadership legacy.
I found myself turning the corners of many pages where I found information
that I wanted to use again. I absolutely recommend this book for anyone
that is serious about leadership. If you visit the site
for the book, they also have a leadership
assessment test.
