Action Wheel Leadership, Inc. carries forward the work of Dr. Robert Terry who pioneered the ideas surrounding authenticity in leadership in his book Authentic Leadership: Courage in Action and in his later volume Seven Zones for Leadership.

The Action Wheel model that Bob developed gives organizations, and individuals within organizations, a practical tool to frame and resolve issues that then lead to authentic actions.

Thanks for your comments, and for confirming that I’m not crazy to have this sense that B-K is ‘authentic’ and special. I know that people who are close-in stakeholders (e.g., employees, authors, interns, publicists) know that B-K is special, and now I’m starting to think about the ‘average’ management scholar walking by the B-K booth… does s/he have a sense of what makes B-K distinctive?

Maybe I’ll do a person-in-the-hall survey at the Academy meetings. (Will you be there? Rachel, that might be a fun intern-y learning oppty….)
