Virtuous Leadership

I'm involded with two projects this summer that deal with the new kind of leadership culture called "virtuous leadership". Firstly, I'm translating Alexandre Havard's brilliant Virtuous Leadership into Finnish.

It is currently being translated into four or five different languages (following successful sales in the US), and we hope to find a major published next fall or winter. Alexandre Havard is the multilingual director of the European Center of Leadership Development (ECLD). He was born in France, lived in Helsinki for eighteen years, and now works out of Moscow. The man holds seminars in English, Finnish, French, Spanish, and Russian.

Secondly, to help stir virtue-related discussion in the Finnish society, a few friends and I have begun a new blog (in Finnish): www.hyvejohtajuus.fi. It's part of a bigger project of which more will be said in due time. Meanwhile, I encourage all the Finnish speakers to partake in the discussion. Questions, comments and all forms of critique are highly welcome! We are all novices here. There is a lot to learn for everyone.
