I've been reading Primal Leadership and it is exceptional.
It's written by the same gentleman who wrote Emotional Intelligence. He discusses why some people are better at dealing with emotional issues like empathy and self-awareness then others and also discusses how to improve our skills in these areas, both as individuals and as groups.
LDS Connected Update
A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about an unofficial LDS group in LinkedIn called LDS Connected. We're now up to 749 connections! When you go into the group in LinkedIn, only 500 show up. That's because they've hard-coded the list to 500.
If you go to advanced search and search within the group, it will search all 749 (and rising) contacts.

2007 General Conference Memories
I enjoyed Joseph Walker's memories of General Conference in the Deseret Morning News. What are some of your memories from this last conference? (video or otherwise :) ).

Video Blog Experiment
Let's try an experiment.
For those who have an inclination, I'd love to hear/see video blogs which chronicle your reactions to this last general conference.
Please post a link to your video in the comments. I assume 90% of you will use good judgement and avoid abusive language, criticism or clips from copyrighted material. For the other 10%, I will review each post before allowing it be live in the comments. If the clips are 30 minutes long, it will take me a lot longer to view them all. A couple of minutes each might be more like it. :)
Have fun! This will be an interesting test. Share your comments/feelings with the world!
[Joel: Thanks to Justin, our one and only attempt at the video experiment so far!]

LDS Connected at LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a "social networking" web site. That's "fancy techie talk" for a web site which allows you to make and maintain connections with others who use the same web site.
You can put some information about yourself into LinkedIn and then invite others to "connect" with you. Once you're linked to others, you can (with permission) get introduced to their contacts, and to their contacts' contacts, and so on.
I have only 196 contacts listed in LinkedIn right now (I usually try to keep it to people I actually know or people who have been specifically recommended to me). My contacts have a collective 23,100 contacts. And my contacts' contacts have a collective 1,494,100 contacts. Amazing.
One of our enterprising program managers, in partnership with LDS Employment Services, created a group in LinkedIn called LDS Connected. If you follow this web site, you can affiliate yourself with the group. This means that when people search the group "LDS Connected" they will find you. Currently about 411 people have joined the group. I suspect this number will go much higher once word gets around.
