On this month's Big Question - Lead the Charge - we are already seeing some interesting responses.The Learning Revolution: Where have all the leaders gone?It's difficult to not agree with everything that's in Tony's post an my short answer would be: yes they should, and the good ones already are.So, of course, I say, great post. :) There are some interesting thoughts in the post, but alsoMost learning professionals can only do so much. There's a vacuum of leadership in the adoption of enterprise/web/learning 2.0 tools from learning professionals in senior positions and too many barriers ...
