Seize Your Leadership Day: What Do You Want?
by Miki Saxon
Six weeks ago I started Seize Your Leadership Day; each post had info and links to resources or articles I felt would interest/be or use to you.
Based on your reaction to date, it’s been of little use to you—a giant yawn.
So I thought I’d ask you directly, do you like the feature?
If so, is the content I find of use to you or does it need refining?
If not, what would you like to see here on Saturdays?
Please don’t be shy. The worst thing for any blogger is to ask for guidance from readers and not get any. Makes us wonder if anyone is reading.
In the meantime, Here are a couple of goodies for today.
Margaret Heffernan’s two most recent posts (1/6 and 13) are the start of a series and offer smart, real-life examples on dealing with the recession. As Heffernan says,
“Think of recessions as tests. Companies that fail them die. Companies that survive live to fight another day. But a few companies emerge stronger than ever.”
They’re short, with solid lessons and ideas for you to start using immediately.
Another useful reminder for recession managing comes in an 18 month old article in Business Week on the value of failure in achieving success. It’s more important in today’s economy than it was then, because without a safe environment in which to fail there can be no innovation and a company without innovation is a company on the slippery, downward slope to mediocrity—or worse.
I hope they’re of use to you.
Don’t forget to leave your thoughts and preferences for Saturday subjects as requested earlier. If you’d rather send them for privacy, you can reach me at miki@RampUpSolutions.com (please put Leadership Turn in the subject line to avoid filters).

I think they are useful posts. I like your original stuff better though.
For a Saturday, they are great, because they give me a chance to do some quick hits and go all over the place, learning a little here and a little there.

Thanks, Phil. I’m glad you said something, the feedback hasn’t exactly been deafening:)
