Thanks Mike- I guess this is the last “R” post on responsibility at least as I set it forth in the 1st post. I hope it is a conversation that gets traction and goes on for a while. I appreciate the chance to post […]

I agree with pride and fear as being tremendous obstacles to taking responsibility. I don’t think we really see that in ourselves so I think I sum up those two obstacles as lack of accountability. We may be either […]

Job performance, in a company, church, or sport, only goes so far, doesn’t it? It is sad especially because some very vaild and valuable aspects of a person’s character and career get lost in the midst of scandel. […]

I couldn’t agree more. In a world of instant gratification, we tend to feel like we can speak or tweet out on an emotional whim. The drama that I hear teens talk so much about is intensified in an online, wired-up […]

Great insights here- Thank you! I can see the need to do some hard work in my leadership, mainly due to the cycle of ebb and flow that is rather common in my line of work. I definitely will be on the lookout for […]

A great, everyday example of how connection can be created. Thanks so much for using this to add value to leaders!

Thanks for the post, Karin. I am not an executive, but I struggle with the amount of transparency to use with my team of mental health social workers and counselors. It can be very personally taxing doing this […]

I have realized most of what I fear will happen, doesn’t. One practical tip I have used to do that hard work ahead of time is composing an email, the one I would like to send in the heat of the moment, and then […]

Thanks for your transparency and your insight! This post was an attempt on my part to express a little bit of where I’ve been recently in a unique way, so it was a little tough, being vulnerable like that. But I […]

Thanks, Jon. It’s a place I have been in, probably most have been in- where doubt may threaten potential if not compared with reality. Most of us can do more good where we are personally and professionally if we […]

Great thoughts, Chery! Tebow is definitely a bright light in the sports world where stars burn out so quickly under those temptations you mentioned. I didn’t know about his before-and-after routine, but it is so […]

Thanks for this post, Wendy. The tie-in between the emotions and the bottom line throughout this post on taking the wheel made it reflective and instructive. I deeply benefited. Thanks again!

Glad to see the leadership overhead discussion continue. LAMP is an excellent guide to appropriate overhead. Love the concept; it’s very tangible, even as a way to provide perspective to employees on how much time […]

Great post, Alan- very motivational. Gives cause for evaluation, but also encouragement to do something great with my team!

Thanks Christina- appreciate the nudge to just be ok with the way things are for a while.

“Develop mastery of your chosen path.” My takeaway from this post. Excellent aspect of inspiring people. Thanks Georgia!

Great points here- shared culture reflects in how space is shared. I like the point as well about non-positional leaders taking responsibility for these spaces. Simple acts that symbolize a lot. Thanks David!
