Dev/team lead/managers where do you go for advice on how to effectively lead? Any forums or sites you visit frequently?

I joined http://www.platohq.com a few months ago. It's been awesome for me.

How’s that working out for you? I don’t imagine most devs respond well to being called devil dogs for example! I jest but being a former nco myself (army) I don’t see how it really applies. Maybe commincating clearly and making intent and desired outcome clear, maybe.
