Whether you are a leadership consultant, HR professional or peer manager, you are in a position to influence leaders. Some of these leaders have different priorities regarding treatment of the human beings who are their constituents (i.e. Human resources), or have shutdown their own self-awareness or "emotional intelligence."

Let's discuss how we got to treating people like a "resource" and what we can do to bring back "leaders". Howow we can influence others toward a character-based approach to leadership.

Our panelists, Tara Alemany, Shawn Murphy and John Ikeda and I will discuss questions such as:

* What is your observation in leaders - aware and desiring to be character-based or not?
* What is your opinion how/why this happened?
* What have you found that has worked to influence leaders toward a character-based leadership approach?
* What more can we do?

This will be an open discussion on what our community has experienced. We want to create a shared-experience, story-based approach to leadership developmen. We all have a need to share the challenges we're having advancing the cause of authentic, character-based leadership.

We will also be taking questions and comments from listeners, so if you have something you want to say, be sure to tune in real-time.
