This might seem like a weird request but it just occurred to me to ask: Is there an online forum for people who manage departments and/or teams of people? It strikes me that there might be a lot of useful experience out there that can be shared in a centralized location (more specific than the SDMB) ---

[sba.gov](http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/ombudsman/index.html) has quite a few resources. Not sure what it is you’re looking for, exactly.
