Usually New Year’s resolutions are a time to set personal goals and commitments. More than that, this time of year is a day for personal reflection. For those among us who are leaders, this is a time to aim high and do more.
Leaders Resolving To Do More
January 1st, 2012The Best Holiday Present
December 25th, 2011Dusting off and firing up my grandmother’s vintage electric Sunbeam mixing bowl never had more meaning than now. Just six months ago, she moved from her home of more than fifty years into a convalescent home. And just a few weeks after her death at the height of this holiday season, her legacy and leadership lives on.
Can We All Join Hands?
December 18th, 2011It is that time of year again when we gather with family members to break bread and have feasts. What an opportunity to celebrate one another and cherish our loved ones!
Tis the Season For No Folly!
December 11th, 2011It might be the time to gather with family and friends to celebrate holidays, but it is also a time for leaders to be relentless.
Without collective wisdom as the voice of reason, we are subject to taking on new projects, starting endeavors, and trying new initiatives without making progress. Now that is foolishness! Instead, it is the time for leaders to step up and take charge.
Called to Lead (repost)
December 4th, 2011As the prayer was said, we all collectively gasped. It was New Year’s Eve 2010 and my family gathered along with my grandmother to bring in 2011. We held hands as a family a few hours before midnight to quietly welcome 2011 with gratitude and without fanfare.
But, this was no ordinary New Year’s Eve celebration since my grandmother reminded us all of an important leadership lesson.
