Leadership through risk avoidance inspires nobody! If a leader wants to have committed followers, the leader must be willing to take […]
My boss had some pretty high standards. In fact, he often bragged that his standards were higher than those of his peers. When I came onto the team, I liked his approach. I truly believed that a leader who set high standards got more out of people and had better teams. I was wrong, and […]

The first team I led had two women, two African American’s and someone of Asian descent. The other 5 were white males. Our team picture could have been used as an HR poster for diversity! I hired most of them because I felt they were of high character and high potential. Diversity was not part […]

I sat in many, many strategy sessions for individuals, small teams and large organizations. They can be a beat down or very productive […]
Merriam Webster took me on an odyssey to get to a definition of leadership. I seem to remember being taught in school to not use the root of a word to define that word. Someone should have told Merriam that! Merriam Webster Says: Definition of LEADERSHIP 1: the office or position of a leader 2: […]

“Sorry. It’s policy.” This comment may be true, but it can also be a sign of a weak leader. Policies are not perfect – especially personnel policies. Leaders need to be willing to stand up and fight when needed. Most companies have personnel policies, and the larger the company the more rigid the policies usually […]
