Leadership can stink and people accept it

PH Glatfelter Paper Mill

 

If you’re riding in a vehicle several miles east of town, with the windows down, and the person next to you is visiting for the first time in their life, they will ask the obvious question, “What’s that smell?”

To which the lifetime resident will respond with, “What smell?”

What begins for us as ‘finding our groove’ eventually becomes the daily rut of life and leadership.

PS. Converting a forest of trees to reams of paper is a smelly process.

When we hold on to cultural norms, what are we really holding on to?

Tradition? Values?

Comfort? Consistency?

A recent blog post from a famous company suggests we be bold.

Bold can get you in trouble.

It can also change things.

Everything.

And bold can become a competitive advantage.

For example, bold can be retiring early and launching something the world needs but has given up on.

Traveling light requires personal leadership

The following photos were taken while watching a Hawk and Squirrel face off in an oak tree. Eventually the Hawk (first photo it’s wing appears on lower left side) took flight and then flew directly overhead. Was just finishing an hour-long walk.

One small backpack, the kind college students use to carry books and laptops.

Four days, three nights. One thousand miles from home.

Traveling light requires personal leadership.

Being prepared for anything while traveling light requires an even higher level of personal leadership.

Try it.

Get really good at it.

It’s freedom.

Heaven.
