		<description><![CDATA[Guest Post by: Mike Henry, Chief Instigator Lead Change Group One thing I’ve noticed in leadership discussions lately surrounds the idea that everyone is a leader.   Some established, experienced leaders withdraw from the idea quickly.  “Too many cooks spoil the soup.” Or, “Someone has to be in charge.” How does anyone expect to get anything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years, I have been conducting an experiment.  In an effort to really understand why some people seem to be &#8220;natural leaders&#8221; and some &#8220;just do not have what it takes to lead&#8221;, I put myself on the road to figure out what it means to connect as a leader. The Challenge [...]]]></description>

Realizing this training was being held on both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how one might describe their positions and organizations there are, in my observation, two areas that all leaders seem to struggle with at one time or another.  I kept hearing stories, reasons, justifications and just plain ‘ol excuses from “leaders” as to why they just couldn’t connect with their “subjects”….and that’s when it hit me.
