A pretty good site with lot's of resources, references, and helpful leadershp tid-bits. The site runs a bit slow but it doesn't try to sell any sort of "leadership program, " etc. http://www.leader-values.com/
Interesting tidbits on "change management": http://www.leadership-tools.com/
A great reminder on the contributions of female leaders from around the world since records were kept! http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/ Definitely some ground breakers way way WAY before Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton, Condoleez Rice, PM Bhuto, and Margaret Thatcher.
When good leaders go bad - a nice article on what NOT to do (bad leaders) and how typically postive leadership traits can actually become liabilities for some... http://www.salesandmarketing.com/msg/content_display/training/e3i6V2qawULa9I4LD7nZNL1Dw==?imw=Y
Along the same theme but not a resource on leadership - any and all articles on Illinois Governor Blogevich. Innocent or guilty - he needs to keep his narcissistic comments to himself. However, I would like to add, that when I heard part of his interview in which he compared himself to Ghandi - I tried to look up the Ghandi Institute but received a threatening warning from IT that I did not have permission to go there. hee hee!! Makes me wonder.
Finally, I found a fun site with an article on "How Not to Lead a Geek" - the site's author calls himself CHO - Chief Happiness Officer. Bottom line, a Leader's job is to make people "happy," which I know is a relative term...but there are some interesting articles and insights here (on the more humorous side). http://positivesharing.com/

So I looked at your CHO dude's website, Alex something and I loved it! I like his easy laid back style and how it is not the suit and tie style that I have found a lot of when it comes to leadership sites.
I read the "How the customer is not always right" and " Free Pizza..something". When you read his stuff, its so easy to see what he is saying.
Also did you see that you can read his new book, Happy Hour from 9-5, on-line for free...I think that is a great idea. And I just might read it! I have bookmarked his website on my computer!
