Is Your Truth THE Truth?
I think it was Nelson Mandela who said, "A person who will perpetuate the lie of another, or by their silence endorse it, can not be trusted to tell the truth themselves." https://vimeo.com/1098613141?share=copy#t=0 My father was not quite as eloquent as Nelson...
Do You Want To Change The World?
Have you ever tossed a rock into a lake and just watched the ripples expand until you can’t detect them any longer? Those ripples are an important metaphor for leadership. Even a tiny pebble makes a ripple in the lake. Just so, a small action on our part can end up...
Do You Want To Be Trusted With Big Tasks?
Leadership is a series of little things entrusted to us. And the uncomfortable reality is that we are judged just as much on how we handle the little things as we are on how we handle the big things. The Colonel often told me, "If I can't trust you in the little...
Is It More Important To You To Be Right Than To Achieve A Right Result?

Do You Expect Accountability Without Being Accountable Yourself?
I recently had a consulting client ask me how he could get his team to be more personally accountable. And I said, “Let's talk about your personal accountability.” He looked at me as if I had grown three heads! But the reality is that all team accountability starts...
Are You Hoping Leadership Is Going To Be Easy?
How many times have you seen a leader you look up to and admire become so frustrated they want to quit altogether? It happens all the time. The key is, significant leaders DON’T throw in the towel. Is significant leadership easy? No. Far from it.The Colonel said,...
Do You Believe Optimism Makes You Weak?
Optimism is not a squishy, overly idealist characteristic. Optimism is actually a hard-core discipline. The Colonel said, “You’ve got to be an optimist, kiddo. When your team can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, you have to be able to show it to them and...
