Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Strengthen your management skills with organizational leadership articles
Articles on leadership are a standard part of most management publications, focusing on everything from creativity in leadership to profiles of successful leaders.
I recommend:
Find expert leadership advice at Harvard Business Review and Forbes magazine.
Learn the basics from a leadership magazine for entrepreneurs
If you're just starting a business, publications for start-up companies can introduce you to leadership principles and advise you on juggling leading your staff with the logistics of launching a business.
I recommend:
Entrepreneur offers leadership articles in its print magazine and on its website, or consult the small business section of BusinessWeek.
Level the playing field with management articles specifically for women
Most publications designed for women business owners include sections on leadership. Their leadership articles range from advice on boosting your self-esteem to become a more authoritative leader, to how to compete on the same level as male executives.
I recommend:
Consult the leadership articles at WomenEntrepreneur.com, Enterprising Women, or Businesswoman Magazine, which is published by the Business and Professional Women's Foundation.
Have leadership articles delivered right to your inbox--with free e-newsletters
E-newsletters offer timely information that's easy to digest and apply to your organization, and most are free.
I recommend:
Sign up for Leading Effectively, a free monthly newsletter from the Center for Creative Leadership. IELeadership Connections is a free, bimonthly newsletter from the Institute for Educational Leadership. There's also the Trusted Leader, a free monthly newsletter from the authors of the book of the same name. And, Leadership Communique, from LeadershipNow, is a website designed to bring leadership principles to the entire community.
Find business publishers that specialize in leadership books
With leadership books, you can explore leadership styles, theories and methods in greater depth.
I recommend:
The Center for Creative Leadership publishes leadership books in five categories: leading yourself, leading others, leading your organization, diversity and culture, and leadership systems. The American Management Association lists a variety of leadership books on its website. Or, consult an online database, such as MeansBusiness, for summaries of leadership and management books.
