  • Give God Your Yes

    So in church this morning Pastor Vance Pittman brought the Word today in church.  He talked about the Kingdom and what God is doing.  He talked about our role in it, and I can share all of that if you want – message me, but I just wanted to share…

  • Working Hard

    Does working hard matter?  This morning at the restaurant that I had breakfast at, I watched one of the cooks walk out of the kitchen.  He had to walk to the supermarket to get more supplies – eggs and oil I think.  When he came back you could see on…

  • Digital Suggestion Box

    I’m not sure what I am trying to do with this, but I was reading about a suggestions box today.  I wanted to try it on here.  This post is my Digital Suggestion Box.  Do you have any suggestions?  Do you have any questions?  Is there anything that you need…

  • LL19: Leaders Swim

    So I read a quote by Henry Mintzberg and he said that “Leadership, like swimming, cannot be learnt by reading about it.”  This is concept builds on the idea in LL5 about making it up, and LL15 where you lead right where you are at – it is also situational…

  • LL18: The Job of a Leader

    “The job of a leader today is not to create followers. It’s to create more leaders.” “The job of a leader today is not to create followers. It’s to create more leaders.”  Ralph Nader.  I don’t know what you think about Ralph Nader – this post is not about him, but…

  • Twitter Resistance

    I read about Twitter Resistance – actually, the main idea of what I read was focused on something completely different.  The Twitter Resistance stood out to me.  It was an article about making change and leading through the changing technological and leadership landscape.  Those that have Twitter Resistance are afraid…

  • Loneliness and Solitude

    There is a difference between loneliness and solitude.  In both cases, there is this sense of being alone, but the attitude and perspective of each is the difference. Loneliness is that sense of being alone that is negative.  Loneliness makes you wish that you were with people.  Loneliness feels bad.…

  • LL17: Selling and Leadership

    In leadership, you either have the power to make the decision or you have to sell it.  I don’t normally do my leadership lessons – the one’s that I’m learning – back to back, but I’ve been processing through so much of it lately.  I watched a bunch of talks…

  • LL16: Leadership of the Future

    The leadership of the future will be different than the leadership of the past and even today.  I was watching a few presentations on the Harvard Business Review website.  It was fascinating to think about the leadership of the future.  There are lessons that I can be taught that are…

  • A Disagreement

    Awhile ago, I post a youtube video of Seth Godin and Tom Peters about blogging.  Click here to see that post/video.  It’s a great video.  You have to check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. I follow Seth’s Blog and I also follow Tom’s Blog.  Today Seth posted…

  • Conditioned for Not Free

    We have been conditioned for Not Free.  We are used to needing a publishing company to publish our stuff.  We are used to having the publisher give us an opportunity and edit it down.  We are used to needing a recording contract because we couldn’t afford the studio time.  We…

  • LL15: Lead Where You’re At

    Leadership is one of the hardest skills to develop – but waiting for an opportunity to lead makes it that much harder.  It’s hard enough when you’re leading, but WAITing to lead may seem like the easy thing.  It just makes becoming a leader harder and a longer process. I…
