Stan Garfield has an excellent knowledge management blog here. He included my book You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader in an excellent list of leadership books you can find on his blog as well.

Hi Mark,
I have not yet read your book “You Don’t Need a Title to be a leader;” however,
judging by the title it’s one I will be getting soon. I love the concept! I recently wrote and article about leadership in the realm of Product Management (PM). PMs typically have all the responsibility to get a product (software in my case) out to customers, but they do not “manage” (or have direct line authority) over the people who are responsible for doing most of the work. PMs have to be persuasive, flexible, persistent and optimistic. And these characteristics apply nicely in many areas of business and life in general.
I also read a few of your recent posts on the political climate and leadership (or lack thereof). It has become highly noticeable of late. I’m with you on your take. I recently read (and wrote about) an article by Stephen M. Studdart in which he made the following statement: “I wish we could change the definition of P.C. to be political courage.”
I’m thrilled I’ve found your blog and your books!
Michael
