With no disrespect whatsoever to the 7000 other authors/researchers that have offered up a wide variety of alternatives over the years, we would like to begin this blog by revisiting the definition of leadership as provided by our founder, Dr. Paul Hersey: “Leadership is an attempt to influence.” And, leaving detailed explanation aside for a […]
Recently, The Center for Leadership Studies conducted a survey asking our clients to identify the top leadership challenges that they are facing within their specific organization. Due to the results provided, we have started a series of blog posts that will address the challenges they proposed. In this post, we will address: leadership drive. Consider […]
What is it about the month of December that just sort of naturally gets people in a reflective mood? The obvious answer is that December constitutes the end of the year. And, for whatever reason, the end of the year is the most natural time to give thanks, take a deep breath or two and […]

What is your all-time favorite movie quote? For clarity’s sake (and by definition), your all-time favorite movie quote is: “The most memorable line a professional actor has ever delivered in a movie you have seen.” It’s the kind of line that, no matter how hard you may have tried, you can’t get it out of […]
Dr. Ben Carson has been receiving a significant amount of well-deserved press of late. In some respects, it just sort of comes with the territory. By day, he is the accomplished director of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. In his spare time, he is a best-selling author and orator that many believe has significant potential […]
The Center for Leadership Council (CLC) is an independent institution that provides leadership-related intelligence to its member organizations. Primarily, the CLC engages in “fact-based case study research” on a global scale in an effort to establish what most interested parties would agree is the cutting edge of leadership particulars.
