Business Management and Personal Development Blogs 

tompeters! management consulting leadership training development project management
tompeterscompany! offers organizational assessment, consulting services, custom and standard in-house training seminars, integrated learning opportunities, trainer certification, a web store 'the WOW!Store', videos, booklets by Tom Peters, and more.

Tom Peters writes an excellent blog. His descriptions of his day in the places that his work takes him all over the world make you think you're there with him. He shares all his slide shows. He's passionate!
Seth's Blog
Seth is smart, cool, and very witty. He writes about being remarkable, which he certainly is himself. He sold a book in a milk carton! I love his bald head.
Unfolding Leadership
Unfolding Leadership
...reflections at the edge of self-knowledge.

Dan Oestreich is the most beautiful soul in the blogosphere. Visit him to rest and be healed.
The Coyote Within
The highs and lows of business life. Coyotes are quick, smart and adaptable; everything a business leader should be. They are great improvisers too. Nourish your inner coyote and let it show you how to survive and prosper in a harsh world.

Adrian always writes with insight and practicality, scoffing a bit at our foibles. But my favorite entries are when he writes as Coyote! Aesop's fables were never this good!

If Coyote is missing in action, follow the link on over to Slow Leadership!
Slacker Manager
Slacker Manager is hilarious. I never know whether he's kidding or not, as he assists us by "paving the path of least resistance, so you don't trip and fall".
Management Craft
Management Craft is Lisa Hanenberg's blog. She's smart and very knowledgeable. She seems not to be as radical as these others, but she does some really interesting things on her blog sometimes and I love the title of her book, Focus Like a Laser Beam.
Personal Development for Smart People - Steve Pavlina
Steve Pavlina: Personal development for smart people

Steve Pavlina writes superbly and covers a diverse array of topics related to personal development. His blog entries are a little hard to keep up with because they are so long. He says he's never written a book, but there are several in there! I like him because he shares information about his blog and because he is very smart and supremely confident!
HELLO, my name is BLOG
Scott Ginsberg

Scott writes on approachability and he is the ultimate approachable guy. He ends each entry with a question, "Let me ask ya this..." Go to Scott's blog to have fun while you learn to become more approachable!
Marianne Powers Blog
Doing the Right Thing and Achieving All Your Goals at the Same Time is my blog, website, and book about people who work in offices and why we fight including 21 perspectives anyone can use to resolve conflicts and create better relationships with people at work.
