“What can I do? If I step up and try to lead my peers, I don’t think they will follow. I’m not as direct as you are Dave. ”
The quote above is representative of a lot of conversations I have inside of companies who ask for my help. There are many people who know they should be a leader among their peers. They just aren’t sure how to accomplish it. Continue Reading…
Martin’s reputation for arrogance preceded him. He was assigned to our leadership team whether we wanted him to be there or not.

What is it about our human nature that causes us to seek excuses for when we fall short? Even some of the best sales people and leaders I have been around, can identify something outside of their control that caused them to miss their goals.
Excuses are easy. Breaking the habit of making excuses is hard. I addressed the way West Point handles habitual excuses in an older blog: West Point: How Leaders Seize Responsibility.
But, what if we turned our thought process around? What if we questioned who was responsible for the wins in our lives? Continue Reading…
Positivity or negativity? It boils down to making a choice. The attitudes we display go a long way in determining what type of leader we are and how many followers we have.
Do we choose our attitudes or do we let our circumstances or other people choose them for us? Do we choose to focus on others or on ourselves? Do we choose to look for solutions or look problems? Our attitudes have been and always will be a matter of choice. Continue Reading…

He called it playing the Devil’s Advocate. We just called him the Devil. We were getting nowhere – as usual. Every time a new idea was brought up, the Devil poked holes in it.
As soon as he began to speak, you could see the joy and enthusiasm get sucked out of the room. Everyone would look at the floor and listen quietly realizing a new idea was about to bite the dust. Continue Reading…

When I was promoted, I arrived at my first managers meeting having only met one of my peers. The group had a history together. I was an outsider. Over time, they all became my good friends. But, we had a rocky beginning.
