Great Workplace Reading and Lifelong Learning

Today I'm following up on a 360 feedback project for a CEO who places lifelong learning at the top tier of things he looks for in "hirable and promotable" people.

So in the spirit of All Things Workplace--(and so I can finish the next segment of the project!)--here are some sources that I hope will contribute to expanding or deepening your horizons:

Leadership and Management

Wally Bock looks at how a promotion is more stressful than a divorce at Three Star Leadership .

At Transforming Organizations, Tim Kidsen talks about a situation that prompted a role reversal with a coaching client.

What can you learn from the way you let an employee leave your business? Ed Brenagar shares his thoughts at Leading Questions.

Jim Stroup explores the Strategic Role of the Senior Executive in Managing Leadership.

And the Coyote shows the leaders how the tortoise beats the hare at Slow Leadership.

Productivity

Get organized with David Seah-Productivity as well as at Productivity501.

Shane wants you to just Start Something! at Zoomstart.

And if you do and you are a solo act, check out Freelance Switch.

Pick the Brain is John Wesley's tip-filled brainchild.

No business activity would be complete without Dr. Ellen Weber showing you how to make it Brain=Based.

Each one of these writers will give you something useful to take away!

Thanks for the link Steve and for the post the reminder of advantages that come from curiosity and learning at work.

Speaking of curious -- I am looking forward to your conversation with Wayne Turmel over at Cranky Middle manager tomorrow. What's the topic again?

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the shout out. I really appreciated your comment on "The big Swing" and I know others did as well. I think your story really added to the post and drove my point home.

Steve,

It's a privelege to be counted in such a lineup assembled by you. Thanks for the kind inclusion - and for a great idea for a post!

[Steve Roesler]

Ellen, Shane, and Jim,

It always makes life easier when one can steer readers toward solid resources...so my thanks go to you for the quality of content and writing.

As for the Cranky Middle Manager interview: we're going to be discussing Leadership. (I'm eager to see the direction it takes once Wayne starts the interview!).
