May 22, 2012We are getting ready to move. We’re very excited to close the door on too many rooms for two people, too big a driveway to remove snow from, too big a yard to cut. We’re looking forward to getting just what we need to enjoy the next phase of our lives. Preparing for the move has included some [...]

May 1, 2012I am attending the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast this Friday. It will be my third event and I’m just as excited as the first two – perhaps even more so, since I have an idea of what’s coming!

I thought some quotes on the importance [...]
Book Review – Emotional Equations
February 27, 2012Over the last six months, I have been learning a lot about measuring performance at work. “What is measured gets done,” according to Peter Drucker. Makes sense, right?

January 3, 2012Many of us have used the ”Stop, Start, Continue” method of soliciting feedback from team members. There are various ways to collect the information but, essentially, we ask our teams to tell us one thing they would like us to stop doing, one thing they would like us to start doing, and one thing we should continue doing. [...]
Recipe for a happy new year
January 1, 2012N0 alcohol, no pork and sauerkraut, no herring in this new year’s recipe! This comes from appleseeds.org, quoted from an anonymous author. I hope your new year is made of all these things. Take twelve fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate, cleanse them completely [...]
