Welcome to the Leadership Edge

The Greater Albany Chamber of Commerce in Albany, Oregon has created a monthly meeting for people to get together and discuss the issues around leadership. Each month there is a book that is read and then we discuss the book and related topics around the issues of leadership. Our purpose is to continue to learn and grow in our roles as organizational and community leaders. The success of this program will be the quality of participation by those who engage in this conversation. We live at a time when quality leadership is needed now more than ever, please join us.

I have agreed to facilitate most of the discussions and be the convener of the sessions. My name is Joseph Bailey and I am on the faculty at Linn-Benton Community College. LBCC provides a variety of services to the business and organizational community and some of the roles that I fill are:
- Performance Coach (for individuals and small teams)
- Facilitator (organizational planning, meetings)
- Consultant (working with organizational systems and processes)
- Trainer (skills development primarily in the areas of Change, Leadership, Supervision, Communications)

Each month I will post notes from the meeting, as well as my personal summary of any reading that we do. If there are things you which to include in this, please contact me by posting responses to this blog or at joseph.bailey@linnbenton.edu
