Leadership is for Everyone Links

August 6, 2009 | Leadership

Thought I would start sharing with you dear readers more of the literally hundreds of links I share every day on Twitter, because some of you may not be on Twitter yet. (Here’s a quick post about how to get started on Twitter as well as a few young nonprofit folk you should follow.) Each link post will have a theme to make it easier for you to refer back to as we learn together in our leadership journey. Are you on Twitter? Follow me @rosettathurman where I share daily resources about nonprofits & leadership, including relevant articles, quotes, learning opportunities and inspiration to help you become a better leader.
