How is your transparency?

How is your transparency? Don't let them see you sweat. Make sure you have all of the answers (after all, you're the boss). Tell them what they need to know -- nothing more; they can't handle it.

Timeless Truths

Timeless Truths Over the past several months, reflection has become a key part of many of our daily lives. It could be the tumultuous time we're in, old age, or a combination of both (likely both in my case). Below are some truths I have learned over the years to help during challenging times: Start each day with a renewed commitment to be passionate about your leadership role. Leadership is a privilege, not a right. It's a responsibility, a way of life, and not a title. The first person you lead is yourself.
