When it comes to leadership, we hear the word on a fairly consistent basis. But what does it really mean, and how do people “get” it? Awhile back I reviewed the book Talent Leadership by John Mattone and really liked it. I was able to get a copy of the author’s latest book , Intelligent Leadership: What You Need to Know to Unlock Your Full Potential, and enjoyed it as well.

For nearly four decades, the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) served happily as the semi-independent certification arm of HR's big-dog association, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).That marriage ended in 2014 when SHRM launched its own certification exam and credentials.
