It seems that there is a lot of talk in the business community about changing leadership styles.

Your Leadership Style – Changing or Adapting?

However, the academic community has produced little research centered on changing leadership styles in the last two decades (see, e.g., Fazio, 1999) and little scholarly exploration in the last three (see, e.g., Zanecchia, 1985). Much of the recent literature about leadership style has been written about its specific application in the context of organizational change: transformational leadership[1] (n = 120, or 31% of all published doctoral research[2]). So, why the interest in changing one’s leadership style? The interest is because of the context in which it is applied: the organization. We know that organizations are systems (Scott, 1998); further, we know that organizations are complex dynamic systems (Axelrod & Cohen, 2000; Gharajedaghi, 1999).

Message from Robert Bacal About The Leadership Development Resource Center. For over twenty years, I've had the honor of working with organizations, managers and employees on a number of development endeavors, in consulting, training design and delivery, and keynote speaking, and had the privilege of speaking my mind on various topics through my many books and websites.

Message from Robert Bacal About The Leadership Development Resource Center

One area that has fascinated me is the topic of leadership in organizations. It's one of the most talked about subjects in both business,politics and even sports, and it's an area where there is very little consensus about what effective leadership involves, or even what effective leadership IS. There are dozens of models and different perspectives, and often conflicting ones that lead to conflicting advice for both new and established leaders. In 2006, two different opportunities arose for me -- opportunities to develop book projects on the topic of leadership, and this got me thinking, and hunting for background material on leadership topics. That's what you are looking at right now.

Book Lovers Are Completely Obsessed With This Website - The Book Insider. Last year, Random House quietly gave away Dan Brown’s bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code, for free for one week.

Book Lovers Are Completely Obsessed With This Website - The Book Insider

Millions of readers were unaware of the week-long giveaway. A select group of readers did take advantage of the promotion, though. They were using BookBub, a daily email that alerts readers to free and deeply discounted ebooks that are available for a limited time. BookBub notified nearly 1 million readers of the free Da Vinci Code deal last spring. “It’s the Groupon of books,” Dominique Raccah, the publisher of Sourcebooks, told The New York Times about deal sites like BookBub.

Why did Random House give away a bestselling ebook that usually retails for $9.99? “It makes it almost irresistible,” Liz Perl, Simon & Schuster’s senior vice president explained to the The New York Times. Book lovers have now become practically obsessed with BookBub. “I now have more books than I can read in a lifetime,” said Suzie Miller of Auburn, Wash.

10 Free Leadership Video Sites. Once upon a time, in the “old days” of management development (it wasn’t even called leadership development), management training videos were often used in our programs. While some of them were good (classics like Meetings Bloody Meetings, The Abilene Paradox, Joel Barker’s Paradigms, anything Tom Peters, and of course the Muppet’s meeting openers), most of them were absolutely horrible. The worst ones were the cheesy HR or OSHA compliance videos (i.e., harassment, office safety) featuring bad actors and completely unrealistic scenarios. It was hard not to laugh along with the audience. Although, I have to give Wendy's credit for at least trying to get creative with this 1989 training video called "Grill Skills".
