There is an emerging awareness of a high return on investment in principals but we still don’t really know, and certainly can’t adequately measure, the value of values. True leadership requires respecting your own inner GPS and creating a workplace ethic for principled and inspired action.
We are past the tipping point [...]

It’s funny, there’s no doubt that the work I do is progressive but the irony is that values-driven leadership is fundamentally what the founding fathers envisioned when they drew up the Constitution. So, at the heart of the matter, it’s pretty conservative! Especially in a capitalist system, liberty and justice for all starts in the [...]

My mom’s headed for a heart valve replacement – a very big deal, heart and lungs bypassed by machinery so that her aorta can be sliced open to replace it’s valve to the rest of her heart. Amazing.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves…Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” —Rainer Maria Rilke

In my coaching/consulting work, I’ve found that clients fall short of unleashing ultimate potential because they think of it in finite terms. We’re a goal-oriented society and we’ve come to believe that the only way to succeed is to name a goal, make a plan, work the plan, and attain the goal. Or, not attain the goal and thereby fail. Goal methodology works – no question that many great things have come out of goal setting and achieving. However, as a sole modus operandi, it’s limited and archaic.

It’s a challenge of modern life: email, Twitter feeds, instant messaging, text messages, and other snippets of information are coming at us so fast that it’s hard not to feel under digital attack. Sure, some of it’s important — and that’s precisely the problem. Turn it all off and you might as well quit the workforce. But read it all and your mind becomes so drained that it’s a challenge to get anything else done.

It seems like everyone is peddling advice. Now to cut wheat from chaff.

Napoleon Hill’s 17 Principles of Personal Achievement

Napoleon Hill January 26, 2009

Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. Without a purpose and a plan, people drift aimlessly through life.
Lesson 2: Mastermind Alliance
The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for [...]
