A survival guide to being a guy. Lots of guys talk the big talk, but what's really going on with sex? That's what a group of young men sat down to figure out for The Little Black Book for Guys. To get behind the hype, they talked to other teens and collected stories, poems, essays and art about personal experiences. They also interviewed health professionals to get the facts they need to make healthy choices. The result is a revealing collection of personal thoughts and need-to-know information. Topics include: Puberty Wet dreams Masturbation Penis size Dating Safer sex and birth control Sexually transmitted infections/ AIDS. Written, illustrated and designed by youth, and carefully vetted by doctors, The Little Black Book for Guys is more than a book about sex. It's a snapshot of being a guy at the beginning of the 21st century. Contains frank descriptions of sexuality and coarse language.

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.

I have had a very eventful life. The stories that I post are from real events that I have witnessed. Some of them are quite humorous, some may be totally outrageous and shocking, but all of them are true (Most of the time, real events are lots better than fiction anyway). I hope that when you read these clips from my life that it may bring a smile to your face and make your day a little more pleasant, or make you count your blessings! Copyright 2014 Lloyd Benson
