Where is Your Focus?

Two things I know about most humans. We wish we had more willpower, and we wish we could stay focused. (Most wish they could lose weight too, which, as it turns out, is related to the other two). I’m not writing about losing weight specifically today, but it is one of many things to which

Commitment and Engagement

We see it all around us, yet inside of our organizations, we seem to ignore or forget the lessons. Look to the web. The highest traffic site on earth is Google, run by an ever growing company that, in many ways, seems to have their act together, if you read most of the business press.

Why Leaders Can’t Avoid Learning

You can run, but you can’t hide. Actually, it is not (quite) true. There are leaders everywhere that are trying their best to hide every day, like ostriches burying their heads in the sand, when their team isn’t achieving what they could. Leaders who want to blame others, the economy or the market for their

Only Read This If You Experience Barriers in Communication

My Dad used to say that the only concrete that isn’t cracked is still in the bag. Concrete is everywhere, and a good bit of it has cracks. The corollary for communication is that where ever there is communication, there are barriers. Every organization I’ve worked with over the last 20+ years has talked about

When people are still reading, listening and talking about that speech over 50 years since its delivery is even rarer. I’m talking about the speech Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered on August 28, 1963 during the March

Six Ways to Expand Your Perspective

Last week I wrote about why your perspective as a leader is so powerful. If you missed it, it is a great prelude to this article. Today I give you practical ways to get more and new perspectives into your experience and thought process. Note: None of these are difficult in and of themselves, but

Happy, Happy, Happy. My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander

By Phil Robertson with Mark Schlabach For the uninitiated, Happy, Happy, Happy is a favorite phrase and life motto of Phil Robertson, creator of the most popular and famous duck calls on the planet. Phil is also the patriarch of a family that stars in the most popular show on the A&E cable network. The

How Committed are You?

We need to talk about you and the success of your team. Part of that success comes from the level of commitment your team members have to the collective work. This isn’t news or rocket science. If you are reading these words, you understand that fact, and likely also recognize your role, as a leader,

Leadership and The Power of Perspective

I’ve been thinking recently about the importance of perspective to our role as a leader. And when I recently saw the work of Gus Petro, who put a new perspective on New York City and the Grand Canyon, it prompted me to write this article. The project is called merge (and the website can be
