Leadership is changing.
Leadership is hard work.
Leadership is needed more than ever at our national and state levels (especially in government).
Leadership needs to manage the formal and informal structures in their organizations.
Leadership can connect and communicate with new social (media) tools.
Leaders have to ensure that their L > C (that their rate of learning is greater than the rate of change).
What leadership does is not changing, but how it does it needs to change.
Our new definition of leadership: Leaders have the ability to find insights and the aptitude to turn those insights into action. Insights to action — one without the other is either useless or destructive.
These were just some of the insights from the MACPA's Retreat in Ocean City, Md.
