Leadership and Management
I'm a passionate writer who writes about leadership, technology, education, and contemporary events. I've got more than twenty-five years of writing experience in every writing genre: Academic, Business, Content, and Creative writing.
The value I bring to my clients is the ability to write about complex issues in a conversational tone. I'm fond of saying "Just because the writing is technical, doesn't mean it has to be boring." I make unforgettable connections between readers and their articles by making words sing.
Leadership and Management
Effective leadership sometimes means making tough calls. You can't be overly concerned about being popular. From the time you step into a leadership role, you have to be aware of one fact: sooner or later, you will have to take action or actions that will be hugely unpopular with your team.
The world is in desperate need of authentic leaders in every field, in government, in corporations, in non-profit organizations, and even in our religious institutions; authentic leaders who feel compelled to answer a noble calling.
The Captain of the USS Roosevelt displayed truly noble leadership to protect his sailors from COVID-19. The Secretary of the Navy's response was appalling.
Taking vision from the C-suite to the street means involving everyone. "Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world." Joel A. Barker "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." Warren G.
You can teach great leadership ideas, but real leadership comes from learning through the crucible of experience.
When looking to hire managers and leaders, it’s important to choose leaders who display passion and confidence yet are genuinely humble in the way they treat their fellow human beings.
Don't hide bad news from your team; they're smarter than you think.
People believe in their cause; your job is to inspire commitment.
How far you develop as a leader depends on how well you learn to say no.
Don't waste your time trying to deal with those genuinely toxic people in the work environment; it's never worth the effort. You have an organization to lead.
