		<description><![CDATA[During the next few weeks, I will kick off two new features here on the blog. The first will be a Saturday Management Serial...an on-going story involving fictional firms and companies and the buffet of leadership, management and business issues that require solving by you, the readers. The second new feature will offer a view from the youngest generation in the workforce on the realities of leading, managing and developing a career. We've heard a great deal from the 40-something management group on the challenges of leading the generations...now, we'll hear the story from the other side of the age fence. Coming soon!  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/02/19/coming-soon-a-saturday-serial-a-view-from-the-millennial-perspective/' addthis:title='Coming Soon: A Saturday Serial &#38; A View from the Millennial Perspective ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

Now, the father of the concept of Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman (What Makes A Leader), along with Richard Boyatiz are pushing the envelope by integrating new research in social neuroscience with their studies of effective leaders.  Their recent Harvard Business Review article, Social Intelligence and the Biology of Leadership, is fascinating reading for anyone intrigued by the role that our biological makeup plays in our leadership abilities.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2009/03/06/smile-your-mirror-neurons-are-firing-everyone-up-a-homework-assignment/' addthis:title='Smile, Your Mirror Neurons are Firing Everyone Up &#38; A Homework Assignment ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>
