Thank you for your email. In reply to your question about LLP's assertion that there is no intrinsic link between leaders and leadership, I would like to refer you to the Leadership and Learning Pathways website. See: llpathways blog. Click 'new paradigm'.

The website is very much 'work-in-progress' and indeed I will be working on that particular web page tomorrow.

I had prepared a more extensive reply. However, it far exceeded the 1,000 characters max.

I would be delighted to have your comments on 'Leadership - A Paradigm Shift'

Kind Regards

Eugene
