I follow almost 3000 people on Twitter, some of whom are in the management and leadership space. I took a little while to scan through the folks I follow on Twitter, and now I offer them for your following enjoyment :)
Oh yeah…and thanks to Brock for prompting me to put this list together.

@wallybock – Wally Bock is an amazing person to follow. He is conversational, insightful, and shares great links because he reads a TON of blogs, newspapers, and magazines.
@steveroesler – Steve Roesler is another insightful leader. If you follow Steve just to get his own articles, you’d have enough information you would never go hungry. But Steve also shares a lot of other great stuff, and he keeps me thinking.
@rosasay – Rosa Say is someone who has taught me to look at management from a different, unique, encouraging lens.
@lisahaneberg – Lisa Haneberg has written many wonderful management books, and I love Lisa’s tweets for her insightful questions.
@michaelhyatt – Mike Hyatt is an amazing leader, and I follow him to watch how he uses Twitter as a communication tool. As the CEO of a large company, Mike is very transparent and it’s interesting to see the difference between a leader like him…and many other leaders who hide behind a corporate marketing and/or leadership department and have all their feedback sanitized.
@davidzinger – David Zinger is the employee engagement master, as well as a darn funny guy. David used to write here with me on Slacker Manager and now, in addition to running his own blog and business, he manages a 1500+ group of other managers and leaders on the Employee Engagement Network.
@mikemyatt – Mike Myatt is the CEO of N2 Growth, and he has wonderful quotes and finds great articles to share, and great topics of his own that he writes about.
@LeadWithHonor – John Ikeda does what he says in his Twitter handle; he leads with honor. He also Tweets with honor, and is very respectful in all he says.
@upbeatnow – Raj Setty is someone I respect a great deal for his ability to get involved in great projects, for his willingness to share everything he has, and for always having a great attitude. Raj is a must follow!
@royatkinson - Roy Atkinson is someone I met live for the first time last year. He is one of the most unique individuals I have ever met, and as a manager and leader, he has a very refreshing and honest style.
@edbrenegar – Ed Brenegar is a leadership guru. He is a thankful leader, and his Tweets remind me to stay thankful for all that I have.
@leadtoday – Steve Keating is another great leader. He shares insightful tips and tricks on leadership throughout his Tweets.
@starbucker – Terry Starbucker is a senior executive at a cable company. His positive attitude and willingness to share what he knows always puts a smile on my face!
@tnvora – Tanmay Vora is a quality and project management guru, and is another positive manager to follow.
@zanesafrit – Zane is a leader among leaders. His insights into leadership are outstanding, and he is willing to share whatever he knows about the topic, often interviewing great people to help us learn even more.
@AnitaBruzzese – Anita writes columns for the Gannette newspapers, and has written a nifty book called 45 Things You Do That Drive Your Boss Crazy.
@Brad_Isaac – Brad is a software developer and a goals oriented guy who can help you take your life to the next level as a manager, a leader, or as an individual contributor.
And I am @philgerb
Of course, because I want you to work smarter, not harder, I found a site where you can create a list and you can just follow everyone on my list.
Please add your favorite management and leadership Twitter folks in the comments and I’ll update my list!

Dan – what is your Twitter handle?

I’d appreciate it if you would add http://www.greatleadershipbydan.com/.
Thanks – I’ll start following all on you list, there’s some new ones I have not seen.
Phil:
It is nice to be on your list and in such great company just as it was such a pleasure to be a Slacker with you after Bren left.
David
Thanks for the list (and for including me!). There are some great people I already follow, and am looking forward to adding some new ones.
Hi Phil:
Thanks for including me on your list Phil. I appreciated being included amongst such a talented group of individuals. Thanks again Phil…
Hi Phil, that’s a mighty fine list, thanks for sharing. Gave it the RT treatment.
Thanks for putting that list together.
I was already following some but am always open to new insights.
Thanks again!
Phil,
Thanks for the list and the inclusion. I found a couple of folks on here that I am not following and am adding to the collection. . .
Still headed to Philly in December?
Fantastic list! But I think the TweepML thing is broken. I only get Wally Bock when I click on it.
