On April 9, Amanda Madorno and I are leading a session at the Nonprofit Conference on 21st Century Leadership. The workshop highlights the ways in which the demands on leadership are changing in our times, and identifies strategies for leaders to build the skills they need to maintain effectiveness. I’ll be writing more about this in a future post, but I wanted to go ahead and post the bibliography for the session–as this conference is “going green” there is an emphasis on providing resources electronically, and this will allow me to point participants in the right direction.
Below is a bibliography of resources related to our themes of generational change, adaptive leadership, creativity and resilience. They range from books (how old school!) to humorous takes on the generation gap. Please consider adding your favorite resources by adding a comment on the bottom of this post for others to see.
