Earlier today I learned that my friend Carl passed away suddenly last evening. Carl was not a "leader" in the way we too often visualize the term in people like President Barack Obama or GE CEO Jeff Immelt or the Dali Lama to name a few. But Carl always "exercised leadership" at work and in the community and he will be sorely missed by all.

In his honor, I decided to replay part one of Kansas Leadership Center CEO Ed O'Malley's interview. Ed talks alot about "exercising leadership" and the importance of making things happen and getting things done. Carl was a guy who always got things done.

Ed O'Malley's original interview can be listened to on episodes 22 (Part 1) and 23 (Part 2).

News Leadership Trends for 2010 - BusinessWeek (Feb 16, 2010) part of special section - Best Companies for Leadership: The Top 20

  • Best Companies for Leadership survey, conducted by Bloomberg BusinessWeek.com and Hay Group
  • Two results from this year's Best Companies for Leadership survey stood out:
    • Top 20 companies this year are significantly more likely to be primarily focused on "positioning for the future"than other companies.
    • Shift in what the top companies value in leaders:
      • 2009 - execution;
      • 2010 - strategic thinking
  • Top 20 companies this year are more likely than other companies to find value in being inclusive, socially responsible, and globally aware in their outlook.
  • Expanding roles for women
    • 2010 make up more than 50% of the workforce
    • Women need to be represented at the highest levels of the decision-making process, not only because it is equitable, but also because it's important to gain women's insights in developing and marketing products and services, and it's important to attract and retain talented women.
  • Social responsibility
  • Most companies are highly committed to developing leaders from within their ranks—perhaps a reflection of hard-won experience from past downturns.
