In a few days the annual performance appraisal process is finalized for FY 2014.

Very few people feel they are appropriately paid.

A widespread phenomenon.

The positioning to be able to walk away.

To plan in a deep, rational, profound way.

For a higher calling.

Quite possibly even more work than they’ve ever done before.

Leadership lessons are like air, or weeds.

Abundant and free.

But do we see value in either one?

What if we did?

May all your weeds be wildflowers.
