		<description><![CDATA[A blog post at on Looking and Acting Like a Success at Alan Weis's Contrarian Consulting site triggered some thoughts on what it means to look and act like a leader.  While Alan's post emphasizes how a successful person might act to present a desired image, how does a leader portray himself or herself as competent?  If this seems superficial to some, I would challenge that a leader is responsible for acting (and to an extent looking) the part.

		<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?

		<description><![CDATA[Leading is more than just being the person in charge.  It's about selecting and developing talent, providing direction and motivation, creating the effective working environment and providing consistent and timely feedback on performance.  The "direction and motivation" component comes directly from the leader's understanding of the firm's strategic environment (market forces, competitors, customers) as well as the direction and strategies (goals/actions) that have been selected by an organization's management.  Strategy is context that gives meaning and purpose to individual roles and group activities and goals.

		<description><![CDATA[Feedback is the leadership triathlon equivalent of the swimming leg.  Everyone knows that it is the difference maker in overall performance, but because it's hard, uncomfortable and easy to flounder with, many choose to de-emphasize or even ignore it.
