They aren’t clueless, although prevailing evidence suggests otherwise

Her boss wants her to write a bunch of examples showcasing how great her performance was for the past year.

She really doesn’t want to do it because:

It will not influence her pay
No one will ever read it after the annual work review is completed
Shouldn’t her boss already know how amazing she is?

A once a year performance appraisal is perhaps one of the biggest crocks in the western hemisphere.

When a teen violates a curfew, the parent doesn’t wait until the end of the year to go over it.

Parents are very busy people, just like bosses.

Figure it out people. Figure it out.

Deadly isn’t it?

(photo: For 25 years, every morning beach walk was with a Yellow Lab… this morning was the first exception)

A bizarre experience…

So funny how all those important issues at work seem so trivial compared to the life of a loved one.

Yes we can love our job and worry about the business all the time.

Just keep things in check.

Okay?

Anybody can buy a nice business suite, read a bunch of business best sellers, and recite inspirational leadership strategy.

But here’s the ultimate test of leadership.

The first victory in leadership integrity is a home win.

Very simply, this means are we an example or a warning?

As a leader. A parent. A spouse or partner.

With our health, our attitude, our service to our community, and at home where no one can see us.

You can learn a lot from 55 years of mistakes and triumphs

AARP birthday wish — You can learn a lot from 55 years of mistakes and triumphs.

Live your life so that if anyone ever said anything bad about you, no one would believe it.

When you do what you do from a place of great authenticity and deep sense of noble purpose, you may not always do what is right but you will always do what you think is right.

No one should ever feel bad or guilty for making a mistake in trying to do the right thing.

To live in fear of making mistakes is a lifetime prison sentence no one should have to endure.
