Take a moment to read the Learn and Lead  page - it details what people are coming to understand: that learning isn't a one-time event, but a process that requires reinforcement to ingrain new habits - and leaders have a role in "learning" for team members as well as for themselves.

We've posed these questions that all pertain to leadership effectiveness and skills and abilities to get you to think about your own development and what you'll want to master:

• Are your interactions with others effective? Are your relationships satisfactory? 
   
• Do you want to improve your basic leadership skills for greater success? 
   
• Are you aware of how you're viewed by others? 
   
• What are eight dimensions of leadership and how important is it to be more than one-dimensional for success? 
   
• Do you know your own coping resources to better manage stress as a leader? 
   
• How effectively do you listen - does it matter? 
   
• Would you like to know what's stealing your time?
   
• How could one-on-one coaching make a difference for you?
   
• How strong are your People Skills and Personal Strengths?

Do any of these questions make you think about your own leadership qualities and development needs?

If so, come explore our new site, discover how you can become more accountable for your own self-development. 

Our newsletters are changing too - we want to answer questions about how you might best handle specific leadership and management situations - so we'll pose situations, but we also invite you to send questions about how to deal with the challenges you face in leading others.

Send your questions directly to cjohnson@ald-inc.com or post them on our Because You Never Stop Learning blog - we'd like to hear from you. And we'll use those queries as the basis for the next newsletter.

Looking out for your professional and personal development,

Christine Johnson
