Everyone’s Busy, So What?

No one said leadership would be easy.

“I know I’m supposed to be holding 1-1s with my team members, but I’m just too busy.  I have meetings to attend, reports to file, and calls to make.  I’ll talk to my team when things settle down…”

Leadership: Know Your Cannons

Are you present and visible as a leader?

Leadership Lessons of Ulysses S. Grant is one of my favorite books on this topic. Here’s a passage that has always stuck with me…
