A Blogging Milestone and What I Learned by Writing 100 Blog Posts

By |2016-10-22T17:12:24-05:00May 31st, 2008|Uncategorized|

It was a tough week for blogging. A perfect storm of business and personal schedule challenges conspired to keep me from spending quality time on the blog. OK, and the fact that I have been holding steady at 99 posts for a few days, and somehow it seemed like I needed to create something truly remarkable for the milestone, 100th post. I'm over the "need for remarkable" part, but thought I would take a few minutes this Saturday morning to reflect back on what I've learned in this half year of blogging about all things management, leadership, strategy and project and product management.

I'm fascinated by the topic of executive presence and particularly by the feedback many receive that sounds like, "You need to work on strengthening your executive presence."

The old supervisory model and mentality are obsolete. The essence of the new role is empowerment and support. Perhaps instead of having individuals write off the opportunity to contribute to others and their organizations in unique ways, we might just build the next generation of great leaders. I've checked, and we need more of those great leaders!
