179 Stop Deluding Yourselves

Your vision, mission and values are the blueprint for the business you want to build. Are they gathering dust on a shelf or are they honored and lived by each person in your organization?

178 What Do You Choose?

Pride gets in our way at work. It prevents us from accepting honest feedback, blocks us from accepting new information, leads us to make excuses, and affects our trustworthiness.

177 A Great Sign

A great brand image communicates what it promises. A great company culture delivers on the promise the brand communicates. When this happens, both employees and customers engage with the brand.

176 The Whole Story

In communication, efficiency and effectiveness are not the same things.

175 Your Lack of Belief Matters

Our behaviors follow our beliefs, and our results follow behaviors. So, if you lack belief, it matters.

174 100 Percent Available

Edmund Burke wrote, “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.” Don’t make that mistake.

173 Compassion in Action

Great leaders know they need to take care of their employees and don’t sacrifice the welfare of their people for the benefit of their customers or shareholders.

172 Called to a Unique Duty

The only place anyone can get anything done is in the present. It resides in between learning from the past and visioning the future.

171 Powerful Paradoxes

It is not a question of either a market economy or a moral economy, but rather a market economy that is successful precisely because it is based on moral truths.

170 Stomp Out Envy

Fairness desires to right a wrong, but envy’s desire is to wrong a right. Envy destroys teamwork because it destroys relationships, and it brings death to collaboration because it destroys trust.

169 Blessed by the Storm

Hurricane season has started, and experts recommend we be prepared. It is also best to prepare to weather the storms of life.

168 Made to Be Courageous

To become our best selves, we need to be courageous

167 Come Together

The act of physically sharing a table and eating with others at work creates a sense of community while building a collaborative environment. It’s the sign of a healthy home and can be equally indicative of a healthy workplace.

166 Collaborative Relationships

Collaboration is essential for any group of people who share a vision or mission and want to work together to achieve their common goal.

165 Spirit of Truth

Good leaders know that the best decisions are made when all possible alternatives have been debated. Good leaders are critical thinkers who are seeking the truth.

164 Sharing Friendship

Networking is a common practice in business. If I know someone who I think might help you in some way, I’m happy to introduce you. It is the natural thing to do.

163 A Culture of Love

Love in the workplace can be complicated but studies have shown that creating a culture of love can be good for business.

162 Remaining Loyal

Having another person’s best interests at heart can be a big challenge in the workplace. Somehow it is easier to volunteer at a soup kitchen or go on mission trips than to recognize the person sitting next to you at work is hungry for a word of encouragement.

161 Follow the Voice

There is so much noise in the world! We are constantly bombarded with “stuff” clamoring for our attention. Who should we listen to? Listening to the right voice will change your life.

160 Ignorance is Not Bliss

When an employee doesn’t do the job the way we want them to do it, it is because they are ignorant. They don’t know what to do, or how to do it.
