One of the wisest people I know is a gentleman named Tom Brown. Tom has a passion for managerial leadership. He has an amazing ability to ask the right question and he has phenomenal access to people who truly matter. However, Tom's greatest gift perhaps is his willingness to share with the rest of us what he learns and what he figures out.

If you are ready to go from being just a manager to being a manager who is a leader, you need to read the articles Tom has published at "License to Lead". My personal favorite of the articles linked from that page is the first one, "A Manager? A Leader?", but you would sell yourself short if you didn't read all of them and pick your own favorite.

As managers, we can manage or we can lead. If you choose to lead, Tom's ideas really can help you.
