The Lead Change Group is a contributor-supported leadership development community.  We're dedicated to helping one another apply character-based leadership to make a positive difference.

Contributing Members are those people who have made a commitment to help the community grow.  They post on the blog and list their products and services in the directory (coming soon).  They share posts and encourage all of us to lead from where we are,  not from some position or power.

Because they contributed to the group, we provide a summary of their most recent posts here each week to help you see their other work and help their website ranking and traffic.  You an see a list of links to all of the contributors blogs on the Leadership Blogs page.
