Leadership Quote #7
“Given its fixation on the leader, its dismissal of the follower, and its avoidance of the larger context within which leaders and followers the world over necessarily are embedded, the [leadership] industry is not by and large ready, willing, or even able to take on the most vexing of our collective concerns.” (Kellerman, 2012, p. 83)

Leadership Quote #6
“The leadership industry – which remains largely though no longer entirely an American phenomenon – is a focus of this book. There is no point in mincing words: whatever the difference it has made at the micro level – which in some cases is no doubt real, for example within individuals and within individual groups and organizations – at the macro level its deficits loom large. Instead of making our leaders more effective and ethical, it seems at least to have had the opposite effect – it seems to have made things worse.” (Kellerman, 2012, p. xix)

U of Washington Fostering Leadership Series
The University of Washington Michael G. Foster School of Business and UWTV have produced an eight episode series exploring the topic of leadership. As noted on the series homepage:
“In this series, discover how leadership is much more dynamic and involves far more than just one person at the top of an organizational chart.
Watch candid interviews with top leaders from regional powerhouse companies, emergency services, military and non-profits about their leadership journeys. They’ll discuss how the situation, company culture and ground-shaking challenges can make or break a leader and the organizations they lead.”
I’d encourage you to visit the site and watch the videos.
