Leadership Blog Roundup:  Top 12 Leadership And Personal Development Posts

leadership-blog-roundup

This post marks my 200th blog post.  I started this blog with 3 goals in mind.  First, I always wanted to be a writer.  I find that when I put my thoughts into writing, I learn and process information much faster.  Second, I have been in a leadership role for over 20 years.  However, my impact was dependent on the number of people I would supervise or meet in person.  In starting a blog, I was hoping to continue to add value on a larger scale.  My third goal in starting this Leadership and Personal Development Blog was to leave a legacy for my children.  Something that would give them better insight into their Mother and her philosophies.

 

In an attempt to celebrate my 200th post, I thought it would be a good idea to do a Leadership Blog Roundup of my Top 11 Leadership and Personal Development Posts within the last 90 days.  It also gives me an idea of which of my posts resonates the most with you in hopes that I can duplicate the value.
