The Top Three Blog Posts that Changed My Perception on Leadership

By Imran Azim

As leadership is one of my favorite topics, I never forget to bookmark a blog or website that contains exceptional write-ups on leadership. I've found hundreds of blog posts on leadership from some renowned leadership gurus. However, I would like to specially mention the top three exceptional ones that changed my conventional perception of leadership. Let's have a look at those:

From the Archives: How to Know You're Out In Front by John Maxwell:

We always expect appreciation for anything we do, whether in professional life or personal life. On the contrary, we have a great dislike for criticism and the person who criticizes us. In most cases, we either react negatively or try to avoid it whenever confronted with criticism.

But this excellent blog post has taught me to deal with criticism in a very effective way. According to John Maxwell, criticism is a part of leadership, and hence we should not ignore it. Rather, it can be a tool for our further progress. The following link will lead you to the original post:

As a regular reader of this excellent blog, which contains some exceptional viewpoints on leadership and organizational culture change, I always wait for new posts from Arthur Carmazzi. This blog has changed my traditional perception of leadership. I always believed that it is the top-level employees who should lead the process regarding organizational culture change. But I was wrong, as Arthur Carmazzi emphasizes developing leadership at every level and utilizing those key influencers to gain success. You can find the original post at the following link:

The Difference between Leadership, Management, and Supervision by Ken Blanchard:

When I started reading this write-up, I thought it would define the terms – Leadership, Management & Supervision. But it was something different, as Blanchard didn't try to differentiate these three terms. According to him, all three are leadership roles. Moreover, he revealed three secrets of ‘The One Minute Manager’ and how it can lead us to success. You can find more at the following link:

I've read all three articles you recommended. These are really nice and quite different from the conventional perception of leadership. Could you please share some PowerPoint presentations or audio-visual materials that exhibit such a non-conventional point of view on leadership?
