We want to help you build better teams – because it's damn difficult to build a brilliant company, if you don't have the team for the job. The road to success is never straight-forward. It demands continuous self-development and learning from mistakes. In addition to learning from your own mistakes, you need to keep up with others. What could be a better way than to read the personal blogs of great leaders.
Over the past months we have taken together the best team leadership advice from around the web. This research has helped us publish our weekly Leadership Academy newsletter containing the freshest and sometimes the craziest thoughts on leading teams. Although we would love to come up with all of these brilliant ideas, we often lack the necessary resources. Therefore, we have made a list of top 15 leadership blogs that share valuable insights and fresh perspectives. It's a shame to keep this list all to ourselves.
So, for those of you, who are always searching for more information, here are top 15 leadership blogs that we would definitely recommend you to read:
