Last Thursday I participated, like most of you did, in the great American tradition – stuffing my body with more delicious foods than I should have, talking with my family about what’s going on in our lives and the world, and napping in the recliner while “watching” football games. Of course that’s not really the tradition is it?

The last few nights I’ve watched news stories about Herman Cain and the National Restaurant Association (NRA).

Remember the old saying “There is no ‘I’ in Team”? I love this saying – in other words, for teams or organizations to succeed it takes more than one successful person. I recently read a Harvard Business Review blog posting that reminded me of this concept. Click here to read the posting. What greater example is there of this concept than the 2011 Indianapolis Colts.

I recently came across a blog posting about the language of leadership. I think this author makes some excellent points about the “languages” great leaders need to learn to speak. After reading it, think about one great leader you have known – did he or she speak all three languages? What about a leader you have known that wasn’t so great – which language(s) did he or she NOT speak?

Once upon a time, there was an association princess who had a task force report magically dropped into her lap. She reviewed it and discovered a number of wonderful new projects based on the results. With the help of her fairy godmother (her boss), the association princess set out to spread the word of the report findings to her subjects (the members and general public).
