Hello,
Thanks for an interesting -- and quite a challenging question.
Challenging not because of a lack of material on 'leadership', but
quite the opposite. There's so much activity out there that culling
it down to a representative batch and putting it into categories
is...well...a challenge.
I've provided the best examples I could find of leadership programs,
activities, training, and philosophies and presented them below. I
went for a mix of the national/international well-known, along with
less familiar, local level community programs.
The headings I provided did not come from any pre-existing taxonomy of
leadership activities. Instead, these were the headings that seemed
to cover most of the areas I looked at, as I reviewed hundreds of
listings of leadership programs.
Of course, not every group or activity fits neatly under a dingle
heading. For instance, I have a "Politics and leadership" heading, as
well as a "Women and leadership" heading, so it becomes a judgement
call as to where to place a listing like:
Winning Women
highlights Republican women in leadership roles throughout politics.
www.winningwomen.org/
Ultimately, I placed them in the "Women" category, but it could easily
fit elsewhere as well.
Obviously, there are many different ways this task could have been
approached and organized.
Please do not rate this answer if you have any reservations about the
tact I've taken here. Instead, just let me know through a Request for
Clarification, how the list could be improved, and I'd be happy to
continue working on it.
All the best,
pafalafa-ga
