A most amazing source of information in leadership! I am a full time graduate student studying health administration. I have a nursing background. I found this site while writing a short essay for an HR course! Fabulous content and I recommended your website it to my peers.
Of course I cited you, naturally, its drilled into our graduate brains 🙂
Thank you!!!!

Don, thank you for my free education for the past 10 years. A colleague put me on your web page and I never looked back. The information game me the tools to advance from an employment counselor to the Human Resources Manager of Yamaha Motor Corporation, Marine Division.
I was downsized last year middle management is becoming an endangered species. So I am back to upgrade my skills and learn more from you, I see you have not stopped learning and evolving.

thank you for sharing information on leadership development. i am currently the employment counselor of my company and it sure helped me a lot in sharing some insights to my employees. however, some sections on your leadership development especially the motivation and character topics cannot be viewed because the compression is unsupported or invalid. can you please check it. thank you.

Hi Alvin,
I checked both of the pages that you mentioned:
http://nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/leadmot.html
http://nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/leadchr.html
I cannot find any errors in them. I don’t use “compression” in any of my pages, so I’m not sure why you are getting the error messages. Note that both of the pages are set up the same way the other pages are, thus I’m not sure why you can load some of the pages but not others.
The Motivation page does have a YouTube video inserted in it, but that does not explain why the other page will not load.
Cheers,
Don

Your site was mentioned in class for my undergraduate degree. Question: Why do you think a person may not have a clear view of their leadership style?
December 7, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Hi Allie,
There are probably several reasons but I think a couple of the biggest reasons are:
1. They never take the time to reflect on how they lead and are there other styles that would be more appropriate in certain situations.
2. They are locked into the false illusion that their style in the ONLY way to lead.

I have learned more from you than anyone else on the Web. Thank you!

Thank you Kim! I’m glad the site has been helpful to you.

Don,
Thanks for all of your excellent resources related to learning and performance. I’m looking for data about the percentage of performance problems that can be solved by training. I’ve read somewhere percentage breakdowns, but am unable to find at this point.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Don

I don’t have the reference, but it was Rummler & Brache who estimated that training accounts for 10 to 20 percent of the potential for changing performance on the job. Of cource this can vary widely from organization to organization.
One way to determine the performance solution is by using the Performance Analysis Quadrant (PAQ). See http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/history_isd/addie.html.
It is in the section, “ADDIE Shortcomings.”

15 years on the web?
Unbelievable that you still haven’t managed to learn WordPress basics to become ‘more than just another wordpress.com weblog’ …..
June 26, 2011 at 10:35 am
Hi Michelle,
And why do I need to be ‘more than just another wordpress.com weblog’?
June 28, 2011 at 8:03 pm
Hi just came across your blog. I will check it out more often.
Not sure if you come across many contract instructional designer folks, but if so send them our way as we are hiring this year and we are getting the word out.

HI,
A fine discovery today, one that’s worth its weight in gold as the saying goes. Definitely i’ll be coming back often. Thank you for keeping much of the most needed information for free.

Your Bloom’s Taxonomy needs to be updated. It was revised in 2000 so that “creating” is at the top of the pyramid.
September 27, 2013 at 10:54 am
Hi Kendra,
I have the revised taxonomy right below the original. In addition, I list another alternative below it, Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy.

Hi Don
I have just discovered your website. It is absolutely fantastic! Thank you.

I was just on “Big Dog & Little Dog’s Performance Juxtaposition” on a page called “Leadership Styles” and I saw a graphic called “Power Style” and it brought back a few nice memories. One of my predecessors was sent back to ensure the creator of the graphic actually survived to create it (and obviously the creator did survive to draw it). I wasn’t privy to all the details of her task, for obvious reasons, but I remember her showing me a very similar graphic and her being incredulous about having to go back to make sure it is created. I didn’t know where else to comment about it so thought I would do it here. FYI, me stating I am a time traveller often gets a response so vicious that it gives me a headache, so I am going to leave you with this (because it doesn’t matter), time doesn’t travel in a straight line, that is simply the way we interpret it. Time travel is not invented in the year 2009, it is simply discovered, it is manipulated in the year 2021 and is done without technology. We look back on you chumps in the same way you look back at people in the past for not figuring out gravity. But, since I know you are sceptical, I will give you a piece of disposable evidence: Your fate, or destiny, or whatever you want to call it is controlled by you fully. More fully than you realize. You are not just the driver, you are the road, the engine and the cesium. However, your fate (a terrible choice of word by me) is a very calm water. If you want to change it then you have to make an impact on your own life. We were taught it in physics as putting our finger in a calm pool and causing waves. To prove it, we were told to try and get a reward by any means we see fit. Some kids used a chig (child friendly gambling – translated), others messaged family members, others started a band (seriously), and all of us affected our fate purposefully in the same way we do in our past. Now we have to fix ripples we create ourselves, but it is easy. I am only here to make sure a middle aged woman in a red jacket doesn’t speak to a bunch of RAF lads. Just to be nice, I anymore going to give you a slice of information I remember from this period in time. On the 5th of July, some time today, 2014, the Israel and Hamas will agree a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict. They agree to a temporary cease fire that the Israelis honour despite 7 attacks that are not covered by the western press (after which they launch a sexy counter that I had to write about in college history class).

Hi. I am doing my research in UDL lessons plans for my students and happen to come across your blog and website. Very impressive work. Thank you.
