Resource Sharing

I just wanted to share one of my favorite online resources called TED. It's a site where people who are considered leaders in their fields of interest come to a forum to give "the talk of their lives" for 18 minutes. The talk is recorded and put on their website for the rest of the world to view. The reason I think this site is genius is because it serves no other purpose than to spread ideas. A person simply gives their talk in 18 minutes, and the audience is left to ponder the issues given to us and start to find answers to many of the world's problems. GENIUS!

This particular talk by Barry Schwartz was sent to me today about wisdom and ethical decision making - elements of leadership.

Mrs. A.,
Talk about Servant Leadership!
You know what is also great about this site is you can listen to it while you rest your eyes. I REALLY enjoyed it. Think Barry sounds like he is delivering a sermon but it is a good sermon.
Thanks again!

This is a great resource to look at when you are brainstorming or do not have any ideas. I think that this website is good to use as a teaching tool. Having different leaders come together and share different ideas can teach other leaders different styles. It can also illustrate the theories that are being taught in class. One thing that always helped me understand theories was listening to different stories.
Great resource
