Leadership Wellness

It’s important, as leaders, that we continually improve our leadership skills. Just as we would take care of our physical wellness through exercise and healthy eating, we must also take care of our leadership abilities through “exercise and healthy eating.” Where do you go to get your “leadership exercise”? What mental food do you consume to keep abreast of your leadership wellness?


I’m a big believer in continuous improvement and life-long learning. Although I’m a bit of a perfectionist myself, I also realize that we can never be perfect. Once we’ve gained perfection, there’s nothing more to strive for. However, in the persistent pursuit of perfection, I’m committed to honing my leadership skills and abilities, so that I may continually improve as a leader.

So, I ask you again: Where do you go to get your “leadership exercise”? What mental food do you consume to keep abreast of your leadership wellness? Do you read books? Go to conferences? Use social networking?

Please share your experiences, thoughts, and tips. Here are just a few of the places I go:
