There is an invisible wall in the business world. It’s the wall between management and leadership; being a good manager and becoming a great leader. People can spend an entire career and never break through that wall. The wall is not about equal opportunity, hiring practices, promotion or selection. Nor is it about gender or age. No, this wall is about moving from Management to Leadership. The Entrepreneur’s Conundrum The easiest way to explain this wall is to start with an entrepreneur. A solo-preneur; the person who thinks he/she has an idea and wants to start a business. Let’…

The news cycle is a relentless beast. Political debates rage, social tensions simmer, and the weight of “big picture” events can feel crushing. It’s easy to get swept away by the current of national discourse, to feel like a tiny boat tossed about in a vast, unpredictable ocean. The political climate, particularly in the United States, often seems designed to amplify our anxieties, to make us feel powerless in the face of forces beyond our control. Many of us are grappling with a sense of overwhelm. The constant barrage of information, the stark divisions, and the uncertainty abou…

Where it all started I’ve always been that kid who needed to understand how things worked. Not just on the surface – I mean really understand. While other kids were content playing with their toys, I was the one with a screwdriver in hand, carefully dismantling them to see what made them tick. (And yes, to my parents’ relief, I could put them back together too! 😊) This wasn’t just childhood tinkering. Looking back, it was the first manifestation of a core trait that would shape my entire professional journey: an insatiable curiosity coupled with a drive to master whatever ca…

As a leader, you have so mnay chocies to make. People, process, product and performance issues surround you. Making the best choice can be difficult. However, nothing can be more powerful than the exact moment you harness the power of your mind’s attention and your heart’s affection.

Leadership isn’t about basking in the glow of success; it’s about the shade you provide for those you lead and those considering joining your ranks. It’s about the values you embody, the outcomes you champion, the influences you wield, and the lasting impact you create. True leaders understand that their role is to nurture growth, foster resilience, and empower others to thrive, even when the heat is on. Think of a mighty oak. Its strength isn’t just in its towering height, but in the shelter it offers. Its broad canopy provides respite from the scorching sun, allowing smaller plant…
