‘Insist On Yourself: Never Imitate.’

Emerson wrote these words way back in the 1800′s, and yet they still ring true today. My daughter, just this past week, completed a university essay entitled ‘Mass Media’s Discordant Attack On Music’ that detailed the impact of mass media on true creativity, particularly in the realm of music, and it too spelt out the [...]

‘Soft Touch’ Leadership

It is my observation that some leaders deal, with those whom they’ve been entrusted to lead, with what I would call ‘rough hands’. Now I am first to agree that leadership is a tough gig at times, but a great leader will use ‘soft hands’, even in the midst of a change or a forced [...]

The Tuition Of Intuition

Wisdom is a gift that comes from God. Many are offered this precious gift, but few open the wrapping that contains the priceless jewel that is contained within. For much of wisdom’s nature is founded in the little used common sense that tends to evade many in their journey through life. And with it comes [...]

‘I Love Humanity. It’s People I Hate.’

Not my words, but words featured in a PEANUTS cartoon. And if we’re all completely honest, there are times when we all come across people who, how can I put it tactfully, rub us up the wrong way. They are abrasive. They are negative. They are obnoxious. So what do we do with them? Love [...]

See Good And Tell Them

‘Make it your mission to see the good in one person today and tell them.’ One looks at a vegetable patch and sees a weed while another looks at the same patch and sees a beautiful rose. Choose to see beauty in all that you survey. Look for the good and you will find good. [...]

Leaders Know What To Cry About

The more leaders mature, the more value they place on people. when all is said and done, leadership isn’t about strategy, marketing, organization, efficiency, or high-quality products, but about people. Micah hurt when others hurt, even though they were in the wrong. The high value he placed on people teaches us… 1) People are an [...]

Languishing Leadership

Stop waiting for somebody else to do something. Stop pointing your finger at those leaders whom you feel are not doing enough. With one finger pointed in their direction, there are three pointing straight back at you. I have learnt, that if I ever see leadership languishing; yes those leaders whom I’m following who have [...]
