December 23, 2006 10:47 am - The Trusted Leader - Book Review

Who is The Trusted Leader?
Trust is an intangible asset, much the same as a quality culture is intangible ? yet, it is also very useful to begin thinking of trust as an ?outcome? that results from very tangible goals and actions.
There is no doubt that there are many concrete benefits to an organization from having trusted leadership at the helm and throughout its ranks. When there is trust in leadership and among peer groups, a great deal of risk is eliminated.
When trust is lacking, there tends to be more meetings behind closed doors, which creates a sense of secrecy and even conspiracy among the team members.
The Trusted Leader is able to more quickly ignite passion into the workforce. People want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. They will go to great lengths to ensure success when they have fully committed themselves to a leader they trust.

We Are Back! So Much Has Been Happening!

Hey folks, sorry it's been so long since I have posted to this blog. To be honest, the blogging just hasn't been the priority lately.

For the past few months, we have been expanding our list of tools and resources.

As you know, our primary goal is to provide free and low-cost Leadership Tools and Resources to aspiring leaders around the world.

Late last year we announced our new sister-site LeadershipAudio.com, which is where we have produced a newly recorded series of Marden classics, called The Leadership Series For Successful Living.

What you may not know if you haven't visiting this new site in a while is that we have added over 100 new articles to the site, which is there as an added resources section for our readers.

And then there is our newest site.... Debt-to-Income.com We are very excited about this new website. Free tools and resources is still the main theme, but this time we take it to the world of personal finance.
We'll talk more about this site in future posts, but just giving you an idea of why we have not been blogging lately.

However, you definitely want to stay tuned. Even with all the new sites being built we have just posted 4 new book reviews for the leadership crowd. Enjoy!
