Have you ever found any good resources for the development of strong leadership?
There are often times while surfing the internet that I come across some great resources. Recently I found a website entitled, Big Dog & Little Dog's Performance Juxtaposition. That is an unusual name however, this site has a great wealth of guides on how to become a healthy and strong team leader.
