Mr. Seidman,

Thank you for your comments, insights and knowledge.  I like your point on delegation.  I agree that it only works if the leader has built a strong sense of direction and trust in the organization.  I think it has to be built into the culture of the organization.  If you don't have people with the skills and competencies that you trust, it is difficult, or bogus, as you put it.   But, I do think a leader needs to be a great delegator to maximize what gets done and grow the business.

I also like your point about developing and implementing leadership programs in the messy real world condition of uncertainty, limited information, conflicting agendas, insufficient resources and other challenges.  Because, that is where it really happens on the front lines.

I'm not familiar with your leadership programs and the 4 "positives" you've listed but I'll check them out on your website.   The concepts seem familiar, just worded different.  I like the positive images thought.  It seems that is another way of saying what the "why" of the organization is.

Thanks again for the information and knowledge.  I learned something by reading your comments and that's important to me.  I'll be sure to look at your website.  Continue your work developing leaders and organizations.

Thanks - John
