Leadership 101, 201, and 301

ASTD-OC is that leadership lab you've been looking for.

It's a community of practice for DISC, Myers-Briggs, black hats and blue pens. For breaking all the rules and discovering your strengths. It's a petri dish of leadership theories and styles all mixed together because hey! this isn't science as much as it's life.

I bring this up having read an article on the 6 Habits of Memorable People and a companion post, 6 Ways Successful People Stand Out.  Each article suggests that as we spend our days working towards some definition of success, we're not being memorable. Being a person that other people remember -- our peers, our bosses, that person you just networked with -- requires stepping outside the cubicle, so to speak, and doing things rather than reading and talking about them.

Take a walk through the ASTD-OC community. You'll meet someone who is developing a recognition program. There's an onboarding program in its infancy. Here are project managers dipping their brains into web design. Over there is a leader in training who managed a failed project, explored the lessons learned from the failure, and went on to plan and manager bigger and better projects, both for ASTD-OC and for work. And let's not forget this gregarious fellow, whose smile is as broad as the support he's willing to give to anyone who asks for it.

If you're a person seeking an opportunity to stand out in your organization, trying doing so outside its box. Try doing so here.
