Leadership, Coaching and Organizational Change
If you have found this site, it probably means that you are interested in leadership, human development, and organizational development. I have been doing work around these three topics over the course of my career. This site is designed to provide access to articles, training resources, and poser points that I have written or developed over the last 30 years.

While some articles have been published over the years, many were developed to accompany various presentations. The resource material is and articles are in various forms, from conceptual outlines to published articles.

Please feel free to download anything you find interesting. All I ask is, if you use this material or reprint it, that you reference me appropriately.
Currently I run my own consulting company doing leadership coaching, organizational development, and cultural change. I work primarily with non-profit organizations in the fields of human services, higher education, and philanthropy.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born -- that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future.
-- Edwin H. Friedman
