I found Dan Rockwell's blog Leadership Freak (www.leadershipfreak.blog) through The Marshall Memo. And now I'm hooked. His short but powerful blog posts have become part of my daily routine. During this conversation, Dan and I talk about the origin of the blog and his ongoing work with leaders through workshops, seminars, and individual coaching sessions. Here are a couple of notes from his website just to reinforce what a big deal he is:

• Inc Magazine Top Fifty Leadership and Management Expert and Top 100 Great Leadership Speakers.

• American Management Association Top 30 Leader in Business of 2014.

• According to the Center for Management and Organization Effectiveness, the Leadership Freak blog is the most socially shared leadership blog on the Internet.

We go deep on some big leadership concepts, and we get granular with very practical strategies for being a better leader. I loved this time with Dan, and I made him promise me a part 2.

You can reach Dan through his blog (www.leadershipfreak.blog) or by Google searching "leadership freak."
