McCain at Funeral of Mark Bingham, Gay Hero of 9/11
2008-06-29 20:54:00 I have always thought that the real measure of someone’s attitude toward gay people was not whether he supports the legislative agenda of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) or mouths the appropriate political correct slogans of gay activists, but how he treats individual gay men and lesbians. John McCain has a long record of treating individual ...

Energy and Endurance - Rocket Fuel for Effective Leadership
2008-06-07 22:16:00 Mark Salter, John McCain’s alter ego, co-author, campaign advisor and personal confidant, is a former college roommate. If John McCain should win the presidential election, most political observers agree that Mark will occupy a significant post in his administration. I recently found myself reminiscing on how far he’s progressed in his career. Being a student of talent identification, I locked into thinking about those personal attributes that he displayed 28 years ago that may have contributed to his success in politics and publishing. While a wide assortment of behavioral traits are surely at play, including his first-rate intellectual and communication abilities, he was known to many as a person with a bottomless reservoir of energy and endurance. Mark was clearly driven, and pursued personal goals with unbridled zeal and a single-minded focus. A sure signpost for his energy and endurance levels was a rare ability to function on five to six hours of sleep for extended...

2008-06-06 05:19:00 Leadership Processes and Follower Self-identity (Lea Series in Organization and Management.) # Author:Robert G. Lord , Douglas J. Brown# Format:PDF 1.3MB# Page Count: 264 pages# Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum; 1 edition (July 1, 2003)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0805838929# ISBN-13: 978-0805838923Presenting a follower-centered perspective on leadership, this book focuses on followers as the direct determinant of leadership effects because it is generally through follower reactions and behaviors that leadership attempts succeed or fail. Therefore, leadership theory needs to be articulated with a theory of how followers create meaning from leadership acts and how this meaning helps followers self-regulate in specific contexts. In this book, an attempt is made to develop such a theory, maintaining that the central construct in this process is the self-identity of followers. In developing this theoretical perspective, the authors draw heavily from several areas of research and theory. The...

On top of that 28 million American live on food stamps. Last week, Brian Williams showed an 18 percent rise in food bank use by middle class Americans. According to America’s Second Harvest, one of the nation’s largest hunger relief organizations, 36 percent of the 25 million people served live in a household where someone works. “The working poor increasingly have to choose between rent, electricity, medicine and groceries,” said Ross Fraser of America’s Second Harvest. “When new hunger figures are released, the numbers will be much worse: a loaf of bread costs 15 percent more now than this time last year, and the price of milk has risen 13 percent.” “To meet demand, one food bank in Maryland installed a commercia...

Gordon Brown - Leadership challenge to be announced tonight?
2008-05-24 23:27:00 There are several opportunities for a leadership challenge to be mounted against Gordon Brown over the next 18 months. Tonight is the first. Striking while the iron is hot would see a challenge announced in time for the Sunday papers. Some will think this wild speculation, but I remember that months ago Labour MPs were telling the press (off the record) that Brown had until May to turn things around. He most definitely has not. There are Labour MPs and Ministers who have been preparing for months for just the kind of collapse we have witnessed this month.So watch this space. It could be tonight.UPDATE @22:55 - As if by magic I know this is not a direct challenge, but I think it is what they call in the trade "feeling the water"William Hill have installed David Miliband as 5/2 favourite to succeed Brown. From the Observer: Gordon Brown would be forced to appoint a deputy who could be swiftly groomed as his successor under humiliating last-ditch plans being discussed by ministers to p...

The Idea of Leadership
2008-05-21 18:15:00 I really don't want to continue to harp on this Jason Taylor crap, but there's an interesting angle in all of this that I wanted to touch on. I saw this fanpost by "jvw" and it got me thinking. Should Taylor even be considered a leader anymore? Or are his "Hollywood dreams" getting in the way? Taylor writes in his ESPN.com blog: I know what the reaction's going to be: Oh, he's the leader of that team, and he needs to be there. But, see, there're different types of leadership in sports. There're guys that can talk all the time, and try to lead by saying: "Oh, this is what we need to do, let's go, rah, rah rah.'' They're rah-rah guys. And then they're guys, like me, who lead by example. And people are saying now, "Your example should be being there working out with the team.'' Well, at the end of the day, I will show up and I will do anything I need to do, and I will be the best football player I can be. Now to me, leading by example means just that: l...

Management and Leadership - Leadership Lessons from the United States Naval
2008-05-20 13:02:00 “Midshipmen will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will they mislead or deceive anyone as to known facts. A midshipman will be truthful, trustworthy, honest and forthright at all times and under all circumstances. Midshipmen are presumed to be honorable at all times and to possess moral integrity in the fullest sense and will be treated accordingly, unless they prove otherwise by their words or actions. Midshipmen should neither permit nor accept anything which is not just, right, and true. They should do the right thing because it is right, not because of fear of punishment.” The Honor Concept United States Naval Academy It is the privilege of professional executives and managers to lead the men and women of their organizations toward the achievement of mission goals. As such, these leaders are responsible for acting with the utmost integrity, leading in both a moral and ethical manner.

Don't Step in the Biblical Leadership!
2008-05-19 07:17:00 I read this article by Reb Bradley called tough love. According to Mr. Bradley Tough Love isn't for husbands. Why? It gets in the way of leadership. You are upsurping leadership if you do this with your husband. I would assume it would be okay for men, because they don't have that issue biblically.An answer to this question can be deduced based on the Bible?s principles related to marriage and divorce. For a wife to go against her husband's desires and leave him, would require that she forsake her biblical responsibility to submit to his authority. Such a wife may justify her separation by claiming she is simply following Christ's example -- he set boundaries and "drew lines" of behavior for his followers, and that is what she is doing for her husband. But such a wife misconstrues her calling to be Christ-like -- she is called to be like Jesus in character, not in authority. In fact, the Bible tells her specifically that she is not to be like Christ in the exercise of autho...
