Creating a Better Life

Welcome to the January 7, 2007 edition of the Personal Development Carnival!

This is our first carnival of the New Year, and I’d like to take a moment to express my gratitude, both to the regular contributors and to the new writers who have joined us. It’s not my read/copy/paste/edit that makes this carnival happen… it’s the talent and work of those tremendous bloggers out there.

Although the hosting does take work, the rewards that come with it more than enough compensation. Just ask Nneka at Balanced Life Center (who, by the way, will be hosting next week), or Gleb at Personal Development Ideas. I’ve met some great bloggers, learned a lot, and connected with some wonderful friends along the way.

If you’d like to host an edition of the carnival, just drop me a line and let me know. I’ll get back to you with the info ASAP.

OK, enough out of me… on to the main attraction!

Jack Yoest presents What Is The Best Predictor of Successful Leadership? posted at Reasoned Audacity, saying, “Bill John knows leadership. He is a Vietnam Vet credited with a Mig kill as a naval aviator and who later commanded a combat ship. I asked him how he identified future leaders. Past success in sports. Your Business Blogger is honored to advise senior leaders. I once had a conversation with Bill about mentoring managers. Rules-bound games are the key. Leadership skills start early in sports, he said. Sports leaders pull their teams together to reach a common objective. They learn these skills at a young age… and are accurate predictors of leadership talent.”
