Memorial Day.

The importance of remembering those that have gone before us cannot be overstated.

Whether it was a person who gave their life in military service to protect our freedom, or one who gave their time so we would improve, sacrifice matters.

This week we look at a combination of the ultimate sacrifice in solemn reflection and those that have shaped our lives so that we may lead better.

Thank you to those who allow us to be a better version of ourselves.

Leaders,

My daughter and I just recently watched the musical Hamilton and in it were some incredible lessons on how to lead.

This week, we discuss one of the core themes in the musical where Hamilton refused to “throw away his shot” and go all in on his goals and aspirations–sometimes with good results and sometimes not so good…

We imagine you’ll see this same theme in your life just like we see it in ours.

Lead well!

Guest author Tom Console is back with his third article on another personal leadership lesson. This time, he pulls Teddy Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena quote and relates it to leading today.

He is so right that, “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.” Are you?

Great lesson from a young leader! Don’t miss this one!

Lead well!

After over 20 years of studying leadership, it is abundantly clear to me that my actions matter in every situation.

Whether at work or home, all eyes are watching my words and deeds. This week we explore the concept that you, as the leader, are the decisive element in your team.

Embrace that role and lead well!
