Well it has been a real whirlwind so far. It took a good week or administrative delays to get me into my classes, but we made it. The down side has been starting classes already a week behind. The upside is that most of my classes concern themselves with subjects I am very comfortable with.… Read More

The Law of the Big MO: Momentum is a leader’s best friend. Why is momentum a leader’s best friend? Many times momentum is the only thing that makes the difference between losing and winning.

Whatever is inside them comes to the surface. The team doesn’t win a championship its players are working from different agendas. Leaders who… Read More

The Law of Buy-in: People buy into the leader, then the vision. The leader finds the dream and then the people. The people find the leader and then the dream. People don’t at first follow worthy causes. They follow worthy leaders who promote causes they can believe in. Every message that people receive in filtered… Read More

The Law of the Picture: People do what people see. Great leaders always seem to embody two seemingly disparate qualities. They are both highly visionary and highly practical.

The Law of Empowerment: Only secure leaders give power to others. Leading well is not about enriching yourself – it’s about empowering others. The number one enemy of empowerment is the fear of losing what we have. To push people down, you have to go down with them. Enlarging others makes you larger. I certainly… Read More
