Selection Considerations for Leadership Development/Coaching
My research and that of others has found that leadership development and succession planning is by nature a long-term effort and it is far from being a risk-free activity.

Are You Folding Your Client’s Underwear?
I was having dinner the other night with my friend, Erin, who was complaining that she had to leave early so she could get home and finish doing the laundry.
