The Center for Creative Leadership puts together a nice e-Newsletter each months that you can find here. More interesting perhaps is that they have a Google gadget so you can place it on your iGoogle homepage. Pretty cool! – Scott J. Allen

I stumbled upon businessballs.com the other night and was really impressed with the amount of information they have provided (free of charge). It is pretty incredible. There are a number of links that relate nicely to the study and practice of leadership development. Check them out when you have the chance. -  Scott J. Allen

• belbin team roles and personality types theory
• bloom’s taxonomy of learning domains
• experiential learning – and guide to facilitating experiential activities
• conscious competence learning model

This is an interesting video to include in a discussion on leadership. I will often include it in a discussion on the topic of feedback. After all, it is difficult for anyone one of us to see the whole picture. See what you think! – Scott J. Allen

I love quotes and use them in my leadership presentations. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. – Mark Twain
• The greatest use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it. — William James
• Every system is perfectly designed to achieve the results that it gets.  – David Beckwith, M.D.

I was speaking at the University of South Florida last weekend and learned that those involved in their Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement had hosted artist Robert Shetterly.  I was fortunate to see some of his work and was intrigued by his take on leadership.  Browse his collection of portraits – it is pretty amazing. – Scott J.
