Multi-business leader who now wants to give insight to the next "greatest generation".
Interests: Teaching the critical need to our youth for Imperative Leadership and the understanding of what true leadership really means.

WWII Family Culture
I'm continually amazed and disappointed to hear so much "build in" excuses for human shortcomings. In speaking with my dad the last years of his life--he didn't buy into any of it. When teenage thugs were called "troubled youth" he would say they weren't troubled at all, but that they... Continue reading

Sometimes you don't get a second chance
Last week we read where the last two of the four young men who murdered Bobby Tillman were sentenced to spend the rest of their days in prison. This "gang" of boys beat and kicked Tillman to death at a party. They were only 18 years old when they committed... Continue reading

Stupidity is Costly
OK, with all heads bowed and eyes closed...raise your hand if you've ever done anything really, really stupid. Now ask yourself, what was the penalty? And finally, what could you have done differently to avoid it? Truth is, we've all done a ton of stupid things, although granted some people... Continue reading

The Hope of Christmas
During this holiday season, many of us take the time to care about and serve others a little bit more. As believers, we're encouraged to expand beyond our faith to help others, thereby showing the "fruits of our beliefs". In the light and shadow of the cross, planted in today's... Continue reading

Self Awareness leads to Higher Production
There is no substitution for natural God given talent. Even so, talent without substance will only take you so far. Take for example the trait of Self-Awareness in the arena of sports--in this illustration, defensive football. Experience and study often puts a player in better position to make a play,...

Calling for Authentic Leadership
Everyone likes to call themselves a "leader" these days. It seems that the requirement of this title is nothing more than calling yourself one. We have team leaders, project leaders, political leaders, cheerleaders, etc. We lead our families, and we lead our lives. Or do we? The truth is we... Continue reading

Leaders Understand the Law of Timing
"I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against." Malcolm X Surprised? Actually, Malcolm X said some very positive and truthful messages. The reason he is not revered as was Martin Luther King was his lack of understanding the Law of... Continue reading

Leadership seldom plays leapfrog
There is a recent television commercial highlighting the great Michael Jordan's basketball career and his former Coach Phil Jackson stating that "Leadership comes from within". It's true. We all begin with a small circle of influence and then have the opportunity for our leadership to spiral outward. Way back in... Continue reading

The Next Greatest Generation
"And these children that you spit on, as they try to change their world, are immune to your consultations, they're quite aware of what they're going through."

God's Perfect Timing
My mother was 90 and she had always been quite healthy until these last two months. Dad is 93 years old and the "plan" was for Dad to pass away first, and then mom later. When mom's heart began to give out, she went downhill quickly. So much so that I began to question why God wasn't going ahea...

Authentic Leadership training...go fishing!
Every generation thinks it's the first to go through the problems every leader experiences: perplexing situations, self-doubt, dealing with a variety of personalities and with frustrations when things don't go as planned. The truth is, leadership is pretty generic and the same leadership principles apply for most all situations with... Continue reading

Parenting: Mama Said They'd be Days like this.
"A parent is only as happy as their most unhappiest child." I plan to divert my normal business blogs to discuss the difficulty of parenting for awhile. Most of us love our children and want what's best for them. When they hurt, we hurt also. I'm sure that it becomes... Continue reading

Adversity For Everyone
Adversity is a fact of life and an unsympathetic companion. It's non-discriminatory and takes no account of age. It comes and then...it comes again. You qualify, whether you're five or ninty five. This being the case, the real issue becomes how we react to adversity as we move through life.... Continue reading

I'll be posting more thoughts on the need for imperative leadership to be taught in schools as a subject, right along with math, English, and spelling. The reason is... Continue reading

Moderation--Virtue or Vice?
Growing up I remember one of my Uncle's favorite quotes was, "Robin, everything in moderation." To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what he meant. Was he speaking of moderation as a virtue or a vice? If a virtue then why be moderate at all? I know many entrepreneurs who... Continue reading

Friends---You don't have as many as you think you do.
"When a friend laughs, it is for him to disclose the subject of his joy; when he weeps, it is for me to discover the cause of his sorrow." Joseph Francois Desmahis "Friend" is probably one of the most misplaced and overused word in today's culture. Our understanding and measurement... Continue reading

Humility--One of the world's most elegant traits and most elusive
"If I only had a little humility, I'd be perfect." Ted Turner I believe you can learn from everyone. Sometimes those lessons are ones of admiration and emulation, while others are quite the opposite but nevertheless just as powerful. It's lessons of what you don't want to become. I did...

Taking out the Trash
Living in the Moment In my previous blog I discussed how "taking out the trash" was necessary to achieve your vision--where you want to be. In this context I was referring to the physical restraints that bind us. It refers to your daily actions. For example, it doesn't make sense... Continue reading
