Leaderslips and Tips: The Good, the Bad and the Bungled.
A monthly critique of the acts and impacts of people in the news, from remarkable ordinary folks to high-profile executives who should know better.

Davidson Leadership publishes a monthly newsletter of leadership lessons--good and bad--taken directly from the daily news. By examining the actions and impacts of people in the public eye, we hope to use the world stage as a laboratory for observing leadership in action and fostering continuous and contemporary learning about this topic.

We hope these insights are both informative and entertaining as they examine many of the principles we wish to emulate and avoid as effective leaders of efficient teams.
