Aspire Higher, by Avery Johnson
Often I read a book simply because of the author’s personal journey and characteristics – not seeking literary genius but instead insight into the individual experience. Looking across the landscape of best-selling books, it seems I’m not alone.

GE: serious about leadership
In most large organizations, leadership is affirmed as a key contributor to organizational success. Typically there is some form of leadership model, special programs for high potentials, and perhaps rotational programs to move high performing or high potential leaders through the experiences needed to lead and perform at the next level.
Leadership models come in all shapes and sizes, and most are helpful in keeping leaders (and aspiring leaders) focused and developing. NASA offers an excellent graphical representation of leadership behaviors arranged on a disc, moving from large dimensions in the middle to more granular areas towards the outside. The MIT Leadership Center promotes FCF (Four Capabilities Leadership Framework), which points to four critical components of leadership: sensemaking, relating, visioning, and inventing. Leadership powerhouse Lominger (part of Korn/Ferry International) has developed 67 leadership competencies and publishes a book called FYI: For Your Improvement that’s now in its 5th edition.And then there’s GE.

Marathon Leadership
Just back from an excellent OD on the Edge event in Charlotte, NC.
David Knapp of Marathon Leadership (creator of The 21st Century Leader curriculum) shared his 26.2 Tips for Modern Leaders. He connected leadership success to distance running success, showing that both required similar traits that can be taught. David is an avid marathoner, and ran 40 marathons the year following his 40th birthday to celebrate the milestone.
He was joined by Molly Barker founder of Girls on the Run, author of two books, and an accomplished distance runner as well. Girls on the Run is tasked with educating and empowering girls at an early age in order to prevent the display of at-risk activities in the future.
I also came home with a copy of The Situational Leader, by Paul Hersey – and a strong desire to start running again. :)All that to simply say this: there are opportunities to learn, grow, and give back all around you.
Best,
Bryan
