Leadership development may be the most important thing any company does. That’s why, every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover leadership development to find the very best leadership development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to posts about how leadership development is stuck in the Dark Ages, Â improving leadership development, acquiring a new sense of self, and doing the basics well.
