She, who breathes fire
Chapter 1 What do I spy below? Do I see what I think I see? A littleton, in the valley below. What would one so young be doing alone here? This barren and dry place is no place for the Man-kind. Yet, after all those years in a catatonic state, hibernation, whatever you want to call it, my vision is still as sharp as ever.

Leadership Theory
Implementing Leadership Theory Every day I skim through various blogs and read about leadership. While I enjoy reading about a wide array of topics, leadership is the one subject I follow closely. Following blogs about leadership assists with providing perspectives I may not obtain through academics alone. Pursuing a doctorate in business administration provides the opportunity to study and research this topic which has ignited my passion about leadership. From LMX, Theory X Theory Y, Authentic, Situational, Transformational, Pseudo – transformational, servant-leadership (one of my favorites), transactional, authoritarian, and plenty more, each theory has its unique perspective on leadership styles.

Baby Elephant Syndrome
Baby Elephant Syndrome Early in the doctorate program, I read about Baby Elephant Syndrome. You may have heard of Baby Elephant Syndrome before, but that was the first I had heard this story. If you have not heard this story, let’s briefly recap. Baby Elephant Syndrome is where a baby elephant is tied to a strong rope or chain at a young age and is unable to break free of the constraint. When the elephant matures, the elephant has grown strong enough to uproot trees and surely break the rope, but the elephant has been conditioned to accept this constraint. Even if a weak rope is used, the elephant will not attempt to break free. The constraint is now in the mind of the elephant opposed to an actual physical constraint.
