Sometimes, putting an experience from one area of one’s life alongside an interest in another area of one’s life can be thought-provoking and fruitful. This is how I experienced a conversation I had over the weekend with a cherished friend of mine who is also a senior leader in his company.

He was asking me about the Training Journal Daily Digest to which I have been a subscriber since 2002. I love the way the Digest pops into my intray every day and I find it a rich resource. Readers who post requests for help and ideas invariably receive a varied response from a generous readership. Many more readers whose names are never seen benefit from the dialogues to which they are a witness.

How would it be, we wondered, if there were an equivalent resource for leaders? This morning I woke up with a sense of excitement as I think of the rich possibilities this might offer. I also notice a curiosity – I have many questions rattling around in my head. They include:

• To what extent are people who hold leadership positions interested in the art, craft and science of leadership?
• Where do people who hold leadership positions look for ideas and opinions about leadership? In particular, what do they read?
• What appeal might a Daily Digest for leaders hold? And what “rules of engagement” would best serve such a readership?

If you have thoughts about any of these questions, please share them. I’d love to see them here on the blog or in my in-tray at dorothy@learningforlifeconsulting.co.uk.
