It’s time again for the Leadership Development Blog Carnival. This month’s blog carnival is host by Dan McCarthy at Great Leadership. Since it was posted last night, Dan chose as this month’s theme the Academy Awards, calling this the Academy Awards Edition of the carnival.

But what happens when things get in the way? As leaders we have to make sure that we are able to quickly and effectively get ourselves and everyone else back on track.
