I’ve just received links from last week’s State Policy Network and Heritage Foundation Policy Resource Bank Meetings in Atlanta. The sessions yielded some important and even provocative discussions for those of us attending.

In particular, I note the State Policy Network Leadership Development Breakfast, which featured two discussions relevant to our leadership development efforts here at Locke. One was Denis Calabrese?s excellent presentation on How to Win in Six Steps. Calabrese’s analysis has a lot to offer organizations that want to examine the organizational effectiveness topic seriously. You can take his outline as a guide to total organizational reform or to tweak an existing plan.

Second on the SPN Breakfast program, Leslie Graves? Online Reputation Management examined the special problems and solutions involved in protecting and maintaining your Internet image. Both are important presentations, well worth a look.
