Earlier today I learned that my friend Carl passed away suddenly last evening. Carl was not a "leader" in the way we too often visualize the term in people like President Barack Obama or GE CEO Jeff Immelt or the Dali Lama to name a few. But Carl always "exercised leadership" at work and in the community and he will be sorely missed by all.

In his honor, I decided to replay part one of Kansas Leadership Center CEO Ed O'Malley's interview. Ed talks alot about "exercising leadership" and the importance of making things happen and getting things done. Carl was a guy who always got things done.

Ed O'Malley's original interview can be listened to on episodes 22 (Part 1) and 23 (Part 2).
