Many of the bloggers on today’s list supported my early efforts. In fact, Dan McCarthy, who generously offered us the opportunity to host this month’s carnival, was <a style="font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #7c181a;" href="http://www.greatleadershipbydan.com/2009/05/leadership-lessons-from-mom.html" target="_blank">one of the first bloggers to give me a shout-out</a>. It’s not a stretch to say that I would not be where I am without the support of many of the folks included in this carnival, people who welcomed me to this leadership blogging community. Thank you! You have made my life better. I am a better leader today because of you!

Today’s carnival features some seasoned leadership bloggers with some excellent post as well as some new voices in the space. I hope you’ll take the time to read settle in and learn from all these contributions and then share these posts (and the carnival) with your online communities.
