10 Watergate Leadership Lessons

April 17, 2018 By James Strock

Once again, Watergate analogies are in the air. Though they may be overdrawn, there are important lessons that remain evergreen from a historic, catastrophic leadership breakdown at highest level. These lessons are as familiar as Shakespeare or the Bible—and as pertinent as ever in the new world of 21st century leadership.

One major change: the rapid denouement of the Nixon presidency—from electoral triumph to dissolution in less than two years—would be greatly accelerated in today’s Internet age.

Best 21st Century Leadership Blogs | New Media

March 20, 2018 By James Strock

Best-Blog-9-500px

Serve to Lead is about the new world of 21st century leadership.

There are a number of blogs that I admire and learn from as I strive to advance my service. My take on the best is presented below, updated for 2018.

The list that follows includes entries focused on specific applications and competencies, as well as general leadership-related blogs.

Blogging is an evolving phenomenon. It enables individuals and teams and organizations and an array of stakeholders to interact and create value in untold ways.

For some, blogging may be a daily or weekly exercise. For others, it may be less frequent or regular, more in the nature of monthly or quarterly periodicals. Blogs are increasingly crafted with an eye toward making them “evergreen,” timely over time. The emphasis on providing immediate responses has, increasingly, moved toward creating a living resource.

A key aspect of blogging is that its permutations are infinite. For some time, they tended to be stand-alone entities. Communities might arise around the essays and comments. More recently, the rise of sophisticated bots, the time-suck of trolls, and the increasing interconnections of social media have prompted change.

Blogs are, increasingly, a personalized resource and gateway into the writer’s chosen array of social media channels. Thus one sees some using Facebook, Quora, Twitter or other venues as their primary ongoing communication, tethered to blogs. Some primarily write; others primarily curate; most create a personalized mix of the two.

Through the links below, one can enter the ecosystems of many outstanding teachers and practitioners. The list below extends from blogging to social media and new media generally.

Please send your ideasbadge-21st-century-leadership-blogs-126-web for additional or alternative selections or categories. As is customary in the 21st century, this is offered as a living document, a work in progress.

Thank you for your service.

How often have we heard the mantra: Our people are our greatest asset.

Now, in the new world of 21st century leadership, it’s actually true.

Serve to Lead | The Four Questions

Who Am I Serving?
How Can I Best Serve?
Am I Making My Unique Contribution?
What Am I Learning?

Benjamin Franklin

Morning: "What good shall I do this day?"
Evening: "What good have I done today?"

Charles De Gaulle

"History does not teach fatalism. There are moments when the will of a handful of free men breaks through determinism and opens up new roads. People get the history they deserve."

Theodore Roosevelt

"Do the best you can, with what you have, where you are."
