Leadership Index

Neil Howe and William Strauss at Life Course Associates came up with this tidbit of information: In what years did the “Lost Generation” of World War I vets (the peers of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Truman, and Eisenhower) comprise more than half of America’s governors and members of Congress? (Answer: 1939 through 1951.) When did the G.I. Generation, also known as America’s World War II-winning “Greatest Generation,” reach its high-watermark of political representation? (Answer: 1965.) In what year did Boomers first achieve a generational plurality of national leaders? (Answer: 1997.)

With this post, I'm going to create a new category of information called "Leadership Index" designed to capture some of the research and writings that I come across that attempt to measure the various dimensions of Leadership. Enjoy.
