Note from Art: I’m taking a few days off over the holidays to focus on family and recharge my writing batteries. I plan on completing the second round edits of my next book, aptly titled, Leadership Caffeine, and I’m preparing a few other blogging surprises for the new year. However, if you happen to be hungry for stimulating content, here are a few suggestions to help you through this typically quiet week. Enjoy!

Two Great Blogs to Check Out:

1. Sramana Mitra-if your interests range from high technology and strategy to entrepreneurial considerations on a global basis, this incredibly smart professional has some great posts, guest posts and interviews for you. I keep tabs on Sramana’s writing as a way of keeping in touch with one of the leading entrepreneurial and business strategy thinkers on the plant.

2. Lead Change Group blog: (note: I am a member of Lead Change)…this new organization is dedicated to promoting character-based leadership and offers up several fresh posts per week from some truly thoughtful and inspired leadership writers and thinkers.

And finally, in case you need your weekly jolt of Leadership Caffeine, here’s one timed to help you think long and hard about pushing yourself in the new year: In Pursuit of Your Potential
