Excellent article. And very much on target. I found your reference to "leadership development becoming more internal and becoming more about who you are" as a Changing Trend very interesting.

Interesting in that CCL has always maintained as one of its core principles - "You cannot effectively lead others until you first know who you are". As an alumnus of its Executive Leadership program where finding out who you are is one of the program's primary goals - I can attest to the validity of this principle.

Perhaps it is a changing trend in that there is a greater embrace of the value of "knowing who you are" in leading others based on experience and evidence of its validity.
