By Lisa Petrilli Steve Woodruff and I were very purposeful about starting the New Year at #LeadershipChat with a deep dive into leadership and vision. You all know by now that understanding, creating and nurturing vision is a passion of mine and I was honored to get perspectives on the topic from such luminous individuals […]
By Lisa Petrilli You’ve created your vision for your business, career, and other aspects of your life in 2011 and can clearly see it playing out in your mind. If asked, you could clearly articulate it to others. You know how important this vision is to your success in all parts of your life and you’re […]
By Lisa Petrilli I have very strong opinions regarding the importance of vision in leadership, and if you’ve been reading my blog since its inception you’ll understand the depth of the truth in that statement. As you may know, my very first blog post – which published on May 18th of this year – was titled, “What […]
By Lisa Petrilli Last night Steve Woodruff and I hosted our weekly Tuesday #LeadershipChat on Twitter at 8:00 pm Eastern Time and chose to make it “Open Mic” night given it’s a holiday week.

Fortunately, he loved the post too. Thus, our topic tomorrow […]
Yes, I said tush. More importantly, I said “squelch.” Our topic for #LeadershipChat this week can be boiled down into this one word. It’s the essence of what happens when an emerging leader with energy and ideas and drive and maybe even bold vision collides with a resistant leadership team, organization or culture.

Last evening’s #LeadershipChat was, without a doubt, one of our most active chats to date, with insights and brilliant thoughts about the importance – and impact – of passion in leadership flying fast and furious. As I said in one of my tweets last evening, I absolutely adore the #LeadershipChat community that has formed and that continues […]
I spent most of the Thanksgiving holiday in the woods – in the “boonies” to be more precise – and my extended family spent a lot of time sitting around a very large, rustic, dining room table just talking and enjoying our time together. So, in anticipation of the #LeadershipChat topic for this week – the importance […]
As I mentioned in my last post, The Absolute Best Reason to Bring Values to Leadership, I am very fortunate and honored to have CEO Connection as one of my clients, and to work closely with member CEOs as Co-Chair of the Membership Committee. Last week we hosted one of our CEO Boot Camps here in […]
