We asked a number of our colleagues who are experts in leadership for their input on helpful web sites for leaders. Interestingly, but not altogether unexpectedly, the inputs from these experts varied inversely with their age. Some of our more senior colleagues reported they don't even use the WWW for leadership sites while our more junior colleagues offered a broad range of inputs. Regardless of where they came from, we reviewed them all and selected our favorites. In no particular order, here they are.
