Have you ever felt like you were treading water, or maybe just floating? You are active, maybe even busy, and you are likely meeting all of your commitments, but you aren’t making any progress, not making any new progress. Several years ago my sister-in-law Kara stated this as being in maintenance mode. The description seemed [...]

Every leader I talk to tells me they are busy. Heck, it isn’t just leaders, it seems to be everyone. Too much to do, too little time, or so we think (and therefore say).

Here are a couple of other additional thoughts. Energy of the “team” (Kelsey, especially) grew as I got closer to the end. [...]

One of my winter memories as a kid was doing jigsaw puzzles – especially at the holidays or on “snow days” those wonderful times in western Michigan when there was more snow than the plows could handle and there was no school because of it. While I haven’t really worked on a jigsaw puzzle for [...]

In our Powerquotes email service today, I sent out this quotation: “In all matters, before beginning, a diligent preparation should be made.” – Cicero While this is true for all of us, it is especially true for leaders. Because while some (relatively small) percentage of the population are naturally inclined to plan, most of us [...]
