Three Leadership Sources to Follow

Of course, you’re now getting a good dose of leadership wisdom from your 2015-2017 Leadership Development Committee … but if that’s just not enough, try these sources for a unique perspective. Take some time to review each of these thought leaders through all their delivery channels. Don’t forget to share with your friends, and send feedback to the Leadership Committee! We want to hear your take on what leadership means and how you implement it in your Clubs and Districts.

Be Leaderly

Just over a year old, Be Leaderly is one of our favorites already. While its mission is to “provide the career strategies that help you lead, climb, and thrive as a rising woman of influence,” Be Leaderly is an example for everyone at all stages of leadership.

Recent tidbits of insight included topics like

Be Leaderly offers several options for keeping up with them. Check out their website, where you can sign up for email updates, or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Be Leaderly puts thoughts into words so you can mull it over and put your own thoughts into action.

A Mighty Girl

Look no further for a source of empowerment for girls. A Mighty Girl is reaching the future generations of women leaders during their formative years with products, books, and success stories, all designed to squash suppression and bring out the best in our girls—and in the parents who are raising them to have no fear.

Of particular interest to Altrusans might be A Mighty Girl’s Facebook presence, which posts daily inspiring profiles of Mighty Girls from history. Recent profiles included suffragist Lucy Burns, English author Beatrix Potter, and even our own Eleanor Roosevelt. The site also has a book pick of the day, and it frequently posts stats supporting current buzz-topics like encouraging positive body image.

These sharable posts include related book and product resources that could be used to satisfy the curiosity of a Mighty Girl that you might know, to enrich a literacy unit, or to expand a service project aimed at strengthening self-esteem in young women.

Disney Institute

A leader in professional development training, Disney Institute harnesses the success of Disney business practices to teach its students how innovative thinking can be the catalyst for amazing change right where you are. And you don’t need to be a client to reap those benefits.

Followers of Disney Institute’s LinkedIn profile, for example, will get periodic links to blog posts on relevant topics like

That last one really resonated with us. Wouldn’t we like Altrusa to be as much of a household name as Disney? If you recognize that the way things are isn’t working, and you want to learn how to change the way you think, become a follower of Disney Institute.
