My favorite lines…<br /><br />" There is a quiet revolution going on. People are rebelling against the notion that others are making decisions about what they read and listen to, and what stories are important to them. Instead they are looking for the new voices of reason; the new leaders to point them in a direction and help them find the things that are of the most interest."<br /><br />Your message resonated within me, having worked as a leader in three different organizational structures, church, business, and education.<br /><br />I find living life outside of these positions of authority quite liberating and dread the very thought of having to return to them in order to build a publishing platform. <br /><br />I found your post quite liberating in terms and will return to read more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35153131.post-67138962260096199042008-12-16T21:04:00.000-05:002008-12-16T21:04:00.000-05:00Thanks for the comments!

And who better than us to take the lead?<BR/><BR/>I quote the ever quotable Seth Godin:<BR/><BR/><I><B>Success is now the domain of people who lead. That doesn’t mean they’re in charge, it doesn’t mean they are the CEO, it merely means that for a group, even a small group, they show the way, they spread ideas, they make change. Those people are the only successful people we’ve got.</B></I><BR/><BR/>I'm so ready to spread some ideas and make some change! Looking forward to a great new year in publishing! Happy Holidays, and of course, Cheers!<BR/> ~ KatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35153131.post-52558177574677141482008-12-15T08:43:00.000-05:002008-12-15T08:43:00.000-05:00Good post!The types of leadership you mentioned ar...Good post!<BR/><BR/>The types of leadership you mentioned are extremely important. <BR/><BR/>In organizations, this is often called "leadership from behind." Back when I was a librarian I saw first-hand that this was an effective approach. <BR/><BR/>Leadership shouldn't be mistaken for management. They don't always go hand-in-hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
