August 2009: People are talking, talking about The Leadership Challenge Forum 2009. In the days leading up to the Forum, the conference was given a plug on The Washington Post's On Leadership blog. And throughout our time in Chicago, Certified Facilitator Angie Chaplin proved why she was named one of 100 Leaders You Can Learn From on Twitter with her consistent tweets of the various events. You can follow her @angiechaplin. In more media news, Pfeiffer Partner Ginny Wilson Peters blogs about John Hope Bryant's keynote address on Integrity Integrated. You’ll find her blog here: integrityintegrated.wordpress.com/2009/08/

In January, the Harvard Business Review published a special issue plugged as “Transforming Leaders”. The HBR team worked hard to assemble up-to-the-moment articles about leadership transitions from key scholars, including Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. Their article "To Lead, Create a Shared Vision," reminds us that "Leaders must ask, “What’s new? What’s next? What’s better?” —but they can’t present answers that are only theirs.” It is vital for leaders to connect with constituents regularly to gain a sense of their answers to these questions as well. It is only upon hearing these thoughts that leaders can begin to formulate a vision for all to follow. No matter what economic, personnel, and technological transitions leaders face, they can always benefit from this nugget of wisdom.
