Leadership tv/articles

I have found some good resources on leadership...if you know anyone who
might find this interesting/useful..please send it to them.

1. There is a series on the sundance channel called iconoclasts.
A famous person interviews another famous person.
I think there are 6 or 8 shows in the series.
It's channel 121 on RCN..that's what I have anyway in boston.
Thursdays at 10pm...rerun monday at 11pm.

2. THere is an article from wharton business school I liked a lot.
"Nine Business Insights from Time CEO Ann Moore, Plus the Mix-and-Match
Women "
I know this is focused more around "for profit" but I thought this article
had some good points that could apply to any situation.
Here are some parts I Liked:
""You will not believe this," Moore said, "but you will never have more
control over your professional life than you do when you start out." All of
us think that when we grow up we will be in charge and be able to decide
what we want to do, where we want to go and when. "It doesn't work that
way."
"All behavior emanates from the top and reverberates down the organization
to the lowest level. If you can, suggested Moore, check out what your
chairman is carrying in his pocket or in her head. What are her values?"
I think that the web site requires a login (free), but if you want to read
it and can't register/login for some reason, let me know and I will get you
the text.

3. USnews.com had a good article where they profile and interview various
leaders.
Shirley Franklin, Larry Page & Sergey Brin, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Bill
Drayton, Condoleezza Rice + others.
"Leadership, as the public tells the pollsters, is in disappointingly short
supply. So the 25 people profiled in the following pages are a heartening
exception to the rule. "America's Best Leaders" are an accomplished group
selected by an independent committee of judges assembled by the Center for
Public Leadership at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of
Government."
