Are You General Manager of the Universe?

Larry Eisenberg wrote, “For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe.” Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” I think these two comments may deserve consideration by leaders.

Choosing Between Solutions and Emotions

Stuart Wilde in his book, Weight Loss for the Mind, had an insightful thought on adversity when he wrote, “When faced with adversity buy the solution versus the emotion.” As I look back I don’t believe I did the above. Initially, I bought the emotion. Mark Twain once wrote that when bad things happen, “Count…

Offsetting Pressure with Pleasure

What a year for the Chicago Cubs! What a great World Series! Down 3-1, the Cubs won one at home then went on the road to win the final two games. Manager Joe Maddon had a mantra during the year that leaders might want to consider, “Don’t let the pressure exceed the pleasure.” The batters…

“Play Like A Champion Today” Program Builds Character

I recently gave a keynote presentation at the University of Notre Dame’s “Play Like A Champion Today” annual conference. This program is exactly what athletics needs today as its mission is to utilize athletics to foster character. The Play Like A Champion Today program states the following on its website: “In 2006 F.

6 Degrees of Leadership from Tim Duncan

As I reflect back on the San Antonio’s Tim Duncan’s career, I see six lessons that he has taught leaders. I don’t believe he ever put these lessons into words. Instead he lived St. Francis of Assisi’s profound saying, “Preach the gospel; if necessary, use words.” His teaching legacy was his example. RESULTS: Leaders often are judged by…

Tradition Underscored by True Leadership

“Tradition Never Graduates.” I recently saw this platitude for the first time and thought about two traditions that I watched develop. Underscoring both of these traditions was leadership characterized by men of principle and incredible work ethics. Tom Dedin began the athletic program at Providence Catholic High School. Tom was as hard a worker as…

He has built a culture in the organization that may have some good insights for business leaders. He has seen great success in his 16 year reign: He is the longest tenured coach with the same team…

Are you hiring for character, coachability?

Hiring people for your organization is critical for success. I thought I would share some thoughts for leaders to consider when hiring. At a recent presentation I gave, a business leader told me in his business he looked to “hire character then teach skills.” I never heard it said that way before but when I…
