The Lead Change Group is a contributor-supported leadership development community.  Contributing Members commit to help build a leadership development destination on the web.  They give not only their time but also their money and some creative juices as well.  Their contribution will help us create a destination that attracts individuals wanting to both contribute and grow (because you seldom have one without the other).<!--more-->

Those who contributed to the Lead Change community this week posted articles on their site that you should also see.  The latest post of each contributor is included here for some weekend reading.  Please check out their blogs and connect with them directly.  Their contribution is making a positive difference for all of us.
