Have leaders fallen asleep at the switch of their own leadership development?

Have leaders fallen asleep at the switch of their own leadership development?

There are troubling warnings in leadership development that have emerged in our socially networked world. I'm interested in your thoughts on my article in the Globe and Mail. https://bit.ly/birchgroveinc

Reading your provocative article produced in me two distinct reactions: First, its insights into the Twittification of leadership development and the dangers it poses caused me to sit bolt-upright in my chair with both admiration for your work and concern for the trend's ramifications. Second, and quickly thereafter, I slunk back, deep down in that chair after recognizing that my own social media activity is contributing to the trend. If I promise to dig deeper, I hope you won't mind if I share your thoughts, recommendations and "dig deeper challenge" throughout my own LinkedIn network?

I read your piece the whole way through. So, I read lots. To help with leadership, I read novels. They get me out of my head, help me stay creative and energized. I read lots of business books too, but mostly just so I can keep up with what everyone else is reading. (Sometimes they turn out to be pretty useful too.) Great piece.
