Jim,

Thank you for the feedback.  A big part of my leadership development over the past 3 years came from both studying and teaching from Leadership Challenge.  I agree wholeheartedly with your comment that all leadership development is self-development.  It's a favorite quote of yours that I share.

Do you see the market for organization-sponsored leadership development shrinking too?  Coming from the position of an individual, I just see corporate training decreasing due to lack of effectiveness.  And I see growth in the individual and academic pursuits around leadership, both as a result of the organizational cuts and as a cause for the organizational cuts.

Thanks again.  Mike...
