This is where I share what I’m thinking, what I’m reading, and what the leaders and organizations I work with are wrestling with.
A few things you’ll find here:
- Hey Babs: leaders write in with real challenges and I respond with what I actually think. No hedging. Anonymity protected.
- The List: a periodic round-up of the readings, viewings, and listenings that have caught my attention. The librarian in me cannot help it.
- Reflections and Musings: longer essays and shorter takes on the complicated, fascinating, occasionally absurd business of leading well.
Everything here is free. If you’d like it delivered directly, subscribe at the Courageous Leaders Project newsletter in the black box to your right — I’d be glad to have you there.
