And you are right on when you say that so often people are left to "sink or swim". At the risk of overdoing the metaphors, failing to provide new leaders with the support and guidance they need to become, at minimum, proficient, is like giving them the keys to your car without knowing whether they can even turn on the engine. Another thoughtful and very useful post, Art. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks Gwyn This is such a critical step in improving the overall quality of leadership everywhere.

Your point regarding developing the next generation of leaders is right on. In fact, this next generation is open, willing to learn, and will challenge you along the way--all of which makes you a better leader yourself. Keep up the good work. I will be contacting you soon from my new leadership role at my new assignment. All the best, ~tom Great post, Art! Your point regarding developing the next generation of leaders is right on.
