  THEATRICS OF LEADERSHIP THEORY by David Boje, Ph.D.
Third, leadership theories are oftentimes, highly abstract concept and variable schemes that are removed from the concrete practice of leadership.

The idea was to provide our students with a new approach to the Fall Leadership Retreat in which we have traditionally left school for an overnight excursion to one of Bangkok's many conference hotels and spent 24-36 hours engaged in leadership, trust-building, and planning activities.

The Liberals became known as a pragmatic party of the centre, shifting to the left or right as the electoral conditions warranted.

Liberal accomplishments from that period include medicare, the Canada Pension Plan, the Canada Assistance Plan for a national welfare policy, the guaranteed income supplement, the liberalization of divorce and the end of capital punishment.

 Applying for a Job at a Liberal Arts College
I attended the AHA annual meetings of 1999 and 2000 as a job candidate in modern European history, and more recently, at the 2003 meeting, I sat on the other side of the table as a member of a search committee for my current employer, New College of Florida.
New College was founded as an experimental private college in 1960, dedicated to the principle that "each student is responsible for his or her own education." Consequently, New College gives students written evaluations rather than letter grades and measures progress by the completion of semester contracts rather than the accumulation of credit hours.
The interview is your first opportunity to give prospective employers a sense of who you are as a person (they have, presumably, already examined your qualifications and concluded that you look good enough "on paper" to justify a face-to-face meeting).

The Democratic Leadership Council's fierce attack on liberal activists triggered a counterattack Friday from a major left-wing group that said the council is waging an ideological war that will hurt the party's chances in next year's elections.
He said that the party's liberal activists are going to be more active than ever in the 2004 election cycle, and that the Campaign for America's Future will hold a three-day meeting of two dozen special interest groups next month in a major show of force.
Most of the DLC's offensive was aimed at liberal, special-interest groups such as the National Organization for Women, People for the American Way, labor unions and other leftist activist organizations that can activate large numbers of campaign workers and influence the outcome of key presidential caucuses and primaries.

 Stephen Taylor - Conservative Party of Canada Pundit
The status of convention fees was a significant point of contention this year between the Conservative and the Liberals.

When he made the announcement he would seek the Liberal leadership, John Manley, an avid marathoner, claimed that he was in this race to finish.
This week when he announced he was withdrawing his candidacy for the leadership there were not sporting analogies, but an appropriate one might have been "No Mas," (no more) the words of boxer Roberto Duran upon recognizing that he was clearly outmatched by Sugar Ray Leonard.
In the leadership race she has never been seen as a true contender, something Manley pointed out early on, and certainly should she remain in the race to the end is unlikely to pose a serious threat to Martin at the leadership convention.
