Most people have experience with a boss or manager who was less than inspiring. Former Kansas state Rep. Ed O'Malley, who heads up the Kansas Leadership Center in Wichita, says leadership is an activity, not a role, and should not be limited to those in high places.

Ed O'Malley will celebrate the launch of his book 'Your Leadership Edge' at Rainy Day Books with his coauthor, Amanda Cebula, at 6 p.m on Wednesday, April 20th. For more information, visit the Rainy Day Books website.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
