		<title>Deliberate Practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether its Emotionally Intelligent Leadership or Transformational Leadership, one&#8217;s mind naturally moves from the &#8220;what&#8221; of the theory to the &#8220;how&#8221; of development.

		<title>Where&#8217;s Practice?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As always, I have been experimenting this semester with ways to better develop leadership in the context of the classroom. As many of you know, this is a difficult task.

		<title>Emotional Self-Control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emotional self-control is about consciously moderating your emotions and reactions.  Although feeling emotions and being aware of them is part of this statement, so too is regulating them.

		<title>The Work of Leaders &#8211; Adaptive Challenges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adaptive challenges are &#8220;problems that resist easy solutions and in which new learning is needed, often causing an examination of the context of a situation and the individuals involved including the way things typically work and the way we work.&#8221; In other words, there is no clear bridge from &#8220;here to there.&#8221; You need to [...]]]></description>
