Fantasy worlds... (2013) A writing exercise in visual sensations.

When you're the Volturi's secretary, your greatest challenge is staying alive. After accepting the position, one woman decides that she will do whatever it takes to survive. But the longer she stays, the deeper she sinks. Once you're in, there's no getting out. --- After getting caught trying to loot Volterra's city hall, Dahlia finds herself sitting before Aro, a peculiar man with blood-red eyes and skin as cold as death. Instead of turning her over to the police, he offers her a job as his secretary, and Dahlia hesitantly accepts. As she gets comfortable, however, Dahlia grows suspicious of her new employer and his staff. What secrets are they hiding? And what happened to the secretary before her?

In this feature, I highlight three articles that establish the foundation for leaderful practice. In a leaderful world, everyone can be involved in leadership, not just sequentially, but collectively (all-together) and concurrently (at the same time). The building blocks of this approach are outlined in the "four C's." Thereafter, I summarize an irreverent piece that was initially published in the Academy of Management Executive in 2004. I have revised it slightly and am presenting it in two parts. The first part looks at leadership development from a traditional ‘training’ viewpoint. The second part introduces, call it leader’ful’ development, from a work-based learning viewpoint. The last article, also a summary in this case from the Journal of Leadership, Accountability and Ethics, makes the ethical case for leaderful practice, arising from its democratic orientation, which in turn evolves from its focus on dialogue and meaning making. I hope you enjoy this brief excursion into the world of leaderful practice.
