Guard Your Heart!

My upcoming book, The Heart of Leadership is built upon a simple premise. Unless your heart is right, no one cares about your skills. This may sound harsh, but it's true. If people don’t trust our heart, they don’t trust us. If they don’t trust us – they won’t follow our leadership.

The Heart of Leadership: How Full is the Glass?

The subtitle of my upcoming book really captures the reason I’m so excited about its release… Becoming a Leader People Want to Follow. If you and I as leaders cannot create followship, we’re not leading at all. John Maxwell says, “If you look around and no one is following you, you’re just taking a walk.”

Storms, Icebergs and Leadership

As I’ve suggested for many years, the iceberg is a great metaphor for leadership… the 10% above the waterline represents the skills of the leader and the 90% below the water represents the character of the leader. In an attempt to learn more about these unique products of nature, I ventured with my family to Antarctica.

An EKG for Our Next President

There is at least one thing Mitt Romney and Barack Obama agree on: there is much work to be done to help our country regain the strength and stature we’ve enjoyed in the past. Our decision as citizens will rest upon our response to one question…“Which candidate do we believe can best accelerate the journey?”

Your Next Draft Pick

The 2012 NFL Draft is over. The Indianapolis Colts chose Andrew Luck in the first round. They knew exactly what they were looking for… they evaluated Andrew’s 40 Yard Dash, Vertical Jump, Long Jump, etc. How clear are you on what you’re looking for in your next hire?

What’s Your Picture of Leadership?

I just returned from an amazing trip to Antarctica - I had the opportunity to see something I've been talking about for almost a decade. I've asked leaders around the world to think about what leadership really looks like. Have you ever thought about it? What does leadership look like?
