If you like a good leadership challenge, take a few moments and click over to Dan McCarthy’s Great Leadership blog and check out the first in a new monthly program: The Leadership Development Roundtable Challenge.
This new program, conceived by Dan and wildly supported by a number of leadership writers and coaches (likely because Dan was doing all the heavy lifting to get it started!), presents a vexing leadership dilemma for a group of regulars and a guest to solve in 200-words or less.
Readers have two opportunities to participate. Dan has nefariously included a polling tool, so you get to vote for your favorite answer, leaving the rest of the contributors to sulk a bit and sharpen our skills for next month’s challenge. You also can share your own and likely much better ideas by responding with your own answer to the challenge.
Great fun, something to help sharpen our collective leadership problem-solving skills and participatory democracy all at the same time!
The Challenge will rotate every month, and I have the honor and challenge of hosting and creating the “vexing dilemma” for next month’s episode.
Check it out, cast your vote and share your informed opinion about how you might handle this Leadership Challenge!
(And for those of you wondering why I have a funny hat as a graphic, that’s the Deerslayer style worn by Sherlock Holmes as he chased down villains and solved his own vexing problems!)
