The original idea for the Lead Change Group was launched on March 30, 2009. It rose out of my desire to develop as a leader and build quality leaders. I prefer action to inaction, so rather than hoping someone else would do something, I began the group.

Bulls Eye Leader LogoThis past Tuesday, I had the honor of being interviewed by a fellow member of the LinkedIn Lead Change Group, David Porter (@BullsEyeLeader on Twitter) of Bulls Eye Leadership fame.
