Building Better Leaders & Professionals One at a TimeI questioned my own sanity for a few minutes after I had decided to take on another writing commitment beyond my main blog site: Management Excellence.

After a few minutes of thinking about it, I recognized that a dedicated blog was in keeping with my intent here at Building Better Leaders and decided to move beyond my apprehensions.

First, Some Context for Building Better Leaders:

After spending several years of my life dedicated to helping motivated professionals in a variety of fields (product managers, project managers, technical professionals, non-profit professionals, marketers, first-time leaders) discover and develop as leaders and senior contributors, I recognized that I needed to find a platform that enabled me to reach more people faster and more efficiently and affordably than the horribly inefficient and expensive traditional training model.

And I did not want to sacrifice the personal contact. Thus, the idea for Building Better Leaders was born.

The approach that I’ve established allows me to:

  • Deliver practical, actionable content via audio, video, visuals & documents.
  • Provide developmental assignments that reinforce core concepts and provide practice with the approaches and tools.
  • Develop and maintain personal contact with clients and to sustain a mentoring experience over a sustained period.

Frankly, this concept rocks.  No more 2-day training sessions that yield a binder and a big price tag and little else.  Instead, I offer you real-world approaches and tools, workplace-based assignments and coaching, mentoring and feedback.

Over time, I plan on adding group discussion functions, social networking capabilities and of course, a lot of additional programs for very specific audiences.  The type of action-oriented, professional development programs that you cannot replicate in a training course.

The Role of the Building Better Leaders Blog:

The posts here at Building Better Leaders will be 100% focused on helping you get things done.

This blog is for professionals looking to develop and advance…and searching for ideas and solutions that they can use ten minutes after reading the post.  Expect ideas, tips, tricks, how to’s, lists and plenty of challenges for you to make it happen and to drive results for you, your team and your organization.

And while Management Excellence offers a broader editorial range for my business writing, I will from time to time cross-reference and cross-pollinate both venues with the same relevant posts. Those will be the exception however, not the rule.  The Building Better Leaders content will remain on balance, original.

My Target Audience Here:

Anyone professional, young or experienced, that is motivated to improve their personal, team and organizational performance and is not afraid to be challenged.

Of course, turn-about is fair play, and I look forward to being professionally challenged by you to keep providing materials and programs that make a difference.
