“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects the wind; the realist adjusts the sails” — Anonymous
I love this quote and would love to know who really said it.
I’ve been telling people for years that no matter how much they’re want to change something and how hard […]

Bridget from Biz Chicks Rule was surprised that I don’t consider politicains leaders since “they tell us their vision and lay a path of guidance to show how we’re going to get there?”
To me, the ability to articulate a vision and describe a path a leader does […]

Much of the best leadership advice is classic and often lays the groundwork for more modern interpretations. This isn’t always good, but it certainly works in The Offsite, which bills itself as A Leadership Challenge Fable.
In it, Robert H. Thompson presents the philosophy taught in Jim Kouzes’ and Barry Posner’s 1987 The […]

It’s not that we can’t learn from the business advice and management practice flavors du jour, but it’s useful to revisit the basics, especially when they’re presented in an enjoyable, easy-to-read format by someone who isn’t into writing by the pound.

In the comments on Learning to lead Luke says, “…Anyway, after having the ability to look back with 20/20 hindsight I can see a great deal of improvements that could’ve been made if I had the benefit of some well thought-out guidance. At what point does doing need to be tempered by hearing and seeing […]
