Servant Leadership
With the primary season underway in the US Presidential election the number of candidates is beginning to narrow. Or at least become a bunch as opposed to a herd. Last summer I said i expected the choice this November to be between Jeb Bush and Joe Biden. Even though Biden isn’t running I’m not ready […]
Hard Fought Leadership Lessons
I am away until the end of May. Until I get back I am re-posting some favourites so you don’t miss me too much. This post was the most popular of a series I did about the 2014 Global Leadership Summit. Bill Hybels was the opening speaker, with a presentation titled “Hard Fought Leadership Lessons.” […]

Bill Hybels was the opening speaker, with a presentation titled “Hard Fought Leadership Lessons.” Maybe it is me, but when I think of leaders the first people that come to […]

Quiet is Beautiful
I absolutely refuse to interrupt my annual two week vacation on the beaches of Maine for anything. That’s my time, a chance to relax and recharge for what always is a busy Fall season ahead. This year though, I must admit I was tempted to break that tradition when I learned Susan Cain was one […]
