Virtuous Leadership -- Hyvejohtajuus

Inspired by Alexandre Havard's magisterial book Virtuous Leadership (Scepter 2007) and our leadership center, European Center for Leadership Development, a few friends and I created a blog in 2008, www.hyvejohtajuus.fi ("virtuous leadership" in Finnish).

We publish Weekly Articles on virtue, leadership, and everything in between.
In addition to these weekly articles by our regular writers, a Guestbook Article is published monthly by a visiting guest. Thus far we've had doctors, businessmen, writers, teachers etc. submit though-provoking articles. Ever since we launched this project a little over a year ago our readership has grown exponentially. Those of you who read Finnish, I can heartly recommend the site.

Our regular contributors are:

Oskari Juurikkala: An economist and a lawyer, Oskari is doing his PhD at the moment. His interests include theology and philosophy. He's also a talented musician.

Santiago Martinez: An MBA and political scientist, Santi is a Spaniard who has lived in Finland for nearly 20 years. He runs a developmental organization with close ties to Kenya.

Jussi Ruokomäki: A web consultant and specialist, he works for Smilehouse, one of the biggest (or the biggest) e-commerce companies in Finland. Jussi is married to Hanna and they have a 3-year-old son, Oskar, who is my godson.

Jason Lepojärvi: That would be me. I'm a teacher of philosophy and theology, but for the next few years I'll be concentrating on my dissertation on love.

In addition to us four, a fifth regular contributor has just joined us, Markku Lepojärvi: He is the principle of Albertinkoulu, the school for the hearing-impaired in Helsinki, a foster-father of three, a biological father of another three (myself included), and a young grandfather of four.

Jou mään! Kivoja postauksia taas. Cool that ur dad joined the team. How did that happen - by invitation or self-invitation or some other means? I could write on the Virtuous Paul as soon as the Catholic Paul is out (looks like u'll be back before it's out - if it's out 13th of June I'm happy) if you still have some vieraskynäs left for this year or even the summer. Btw are the exponential numbers secret or can u share how many visits/clicks u get nowadays..?

Pistin viestiä. Toivottavasti neuvottelut päättyvät hyvin. Kuulin yllättävästä "ongelmasta".
