Houston, we have a problem letting go of all the stuff we will never need again.

Becoming great at shedding is like hitting the lottery.

Not being able to comprehend this is a signal to buy a few lottery tickets?

Can we be organized enough to be an inspiring leader?

People don’t leave companies, they leave leaders.

Do the math.

This post might seem ridiculous to a busy, distracted person in a hurry to face the day.

Can we be in the past, present and future all at the same time?

Can we be in the past, present and future all at the same time?

It’s so crazy to write each day, and being so far ahead that there are 99 posts that have to go live before this one can.

Tomorrow, September 17, taking our Son on a business trip to Texas.

We promise ourselves we’ll do cool things with our Family but put them off because of the degree of difficulty.

Living in the moment, with the future in mind – without regret – is only possible if we start living like we mean it.

Today.

You need to be organized to be a great role model

inspiring quote

 

(photo: everyone is busy… it’s not a a valid excuse for the big picture things)

For many years now, there have been three prioritized needs in each leader-to-subordinate relationship:

  1. Trust – honesty is the most important part of any relationship. Period.
  2. Respect – respect that we do not think alike and have different approaches to accomplish the same big picture.
  3. Development – you do not need to lift a finger to develop your subordinates, but know they love it. And don’t complain if they are assertive in pursuing it in the absence of your help.

Ironically, this is a two way street.

Nothing else matters if number one isn’t achieved.

At work, it’s absolutely a parent/child relationship.

Leaders, you own going first and leading the way. Period.

Just like being a parent.

Balance consists of energy expended in five key areas.

Mental.

Physical.

Spiritual.

Work.

Home.

The Internet’s Only Five-a-Day blogger means nothing.

Except to the parent using these to raise a child.
