Welcome to the 3rd edition of THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT CARNIVAL!This month's edition takes a political flavor. Recently, a new vice-president candidate has emerged out of nowhere, SARAH PALIN, from "the great state of Alaska". She's taken a lot of media criticism for her lack of leadership experience, so I thought I'd dedicate this carnival to her, as a way to help get her ramped up for her new potential leadership role.I received over 60 submissions, and after sifting through the duplicates and irrelevant ones, settled on the following 42. Like last month, I've put a few selected posts into a very biased and partisan "featured attractions" category. While these are the ones I thought were the best of the best, the rest are pretty darn good too.So Sarah, here's a slate of leadership development advice from bloggers all around the world:FEATURED ATTRACTIONS:I'll start with advice on the importance of listening, from Nina Simosko, a strong proponent of woman leaders, with I'm Sorry, Did You Say Something? posted at NinaSimosko.com.Next up Art Petty, with some advice on how to engage your staff, with Do Your Employees Truly Believe That They Can Make A Difference? posted at Art Petty on Management.You should always pay attention to whatever Wally Bock says.
