		<description><![CDATA[Readers interested in some divergent thinking and great ideas should take a look at the menu of authors and content at the latest Carnival of HR.  And don't let the HR headline trick you.  This Halloween collection of articles covers diverse topics in leadership, communication, execution, talent development and priceless career advice.  Oh, and of course, Dan McCarthy, the host, was nice enough to include my recent attempt to place a quantifiable value on leadership development activities.  Check it out, it's definitely a treat.

		<description><![CDATA[Jump-starting a leadership development activity does not require a tremendous investment in program development, outside consultants or big company meetings.  Sometimes the best results come from simple approaches, and anything that gets people talking about the right issues can serve as a starting-point.  The key point is for you to do something. Any or all of these three simple ideas can get you started.

		<description><![CDATA[ndoubtedly, one of the most difficult and awkward professional transitions is the jump from team member to team manager.  The people that you've worked with side by side, joked with and shared lunch with are no longer your peers, they are your employees, and for good or bad, your relationship with them will never be the same.  If you are truly interested in developing as a leader, this awkward situation is an outstanding rite of passage, complete with some hardcore lessons on what it takes for you to build credibility, motivate, direct, support and lead others.

		<description><![CDATA[My observation is that only a minority of leaders (managers, supervisors, executives, project managers) understand how to properly prepare a team for and run an effective, purposeful and productive meeting.  Ironically, look at the Outlook calendars of most people operating inside corporate walls, and their schedules are filled with one meeting after another.  With all of these unproductive meetings to attend, who has time to work?

She's a testament to the power of maintaining the right attitude on all fronts, and she clearly has learned several of the most valuable lessons of leadership: select great people, deal with them openly and honestly, provide opportunities and challenges and let them do what they do best.

		<description><![CDATA[It's critical for leaders to recognize that organizations that broadly understand their strategy and employees that specifically understand how their activities and decisions impact strategy execution are going to defeat less-enlightened competitors.  Strategy is not an abstract concept reserved for the deep-thought thinking sessions of senior leaders.  Strategy is a powerful leadership tool to engage the hearts and minds of associates and to fuel performance.
