Leadership: Pragmatic & Proactive

About

Bacharachblog is an online magazine covering leadership, business, ideas, arts and science, and politics. The Bacharachblog is dedicated to teaching, learning, and observing leadership in action, at all levels of our society—in the classroom, in the community, in the workplace, and in the artist’s studio.

The essential questions this blog asks are: “What makes leadership work? What does being proactive mean?” Through wide ranging examples this publication attempts to illustrate that good leaders, good businesses, good politicians, and good artists are all well versed in the skills of execution—everything else is nice, but hardly necessary.

The Bacharachblog updates daily, Monday through Friday, with a mix of short articles, features, original photography, short videos,  and micro-blog entries.  All writing is original and focused on a broad range of genres including reportage, personal and critical essays, interviews, and news analysis.

The Bacharachblog is not only published for those in a leadership position, but for people who enjoy reading and thinking about what what makes the world tick. Readers of the Bacharachblog are united by their intellectual curiosity and desire to learn about how things are accomplished, achieved, and actualized.

The blog was conceived, developed, and launched by Samuel Bacharach the McKelvey-Grant Professor of Labor Management at Cornell University’s ILR School in 2008. For over 10 years Professor Bacharach has been working to bridge his academic workplace research and theory into a format that is exciting, relevant, and helpful for leaders in all types of organizations.

Professor Bacharach is the author of over 100 articles and author or editor of over 20 books. Most recently he has published Get Them on Your Side (2005) and Keep Them On Your Side (2006). He has been a speaker and trainer for numerous corporate events and the online version of his courses have been subscribed to by many Fortune 500 companies.
