As a leader, we must make decisions not everyone agrees on

Neither of us knew they’d be closed. Makes sense though.

 

As a leader, we must make decisions not everyone agrees on. Yes, we could have gone back and delivered more boxes of food. Would could have made return trips for hours.

The van put it to a vote. As the tie breaker it was easy because:

The first ministry starts at home.

Don’t abandon your Family for work to be done. There’s a time and a place. Try to balance them.

There is a standing Sunday commitment to attend our Son’s tournament.

Not everyone has the same priorities. Not everyone has conviction. Not everyone has balance.

Do the best you can. Forgive yourself. Move forward.

Life is not a popularity contest.

But if it was, you’d want your Family to be your biggest fans.

Batter up

Disney Management Consultant
Yesterday.

 

Everything begins with personal leadership. Life is so incredibly challenging. And we are both broken, and beautiful. We hope, we doubt. We triumph, we fail.

The circle of life.

One day, one moment at a time.

Keep swinging for the fence.

Ready, set, Disneyland sunrise

Racing against the sun to finish five daily blogs in order to get a walk around the Happiest Place on Earth before the family awakes.

You know how it is. Tying to do a lot of things and yet balancing the need for personal care and activity with the needs of others.

No.

Not in the past 30 years did Cheryl and i have lunch together. Countless dinners at Disney, but never lunch. Why? The pace is fast at Disney. Outsiders have no idea.

We also did not have lunch together a few days ago after the first paying, post Disney speaking gig.

Made an honest attempt. But with Cheryl being out sick all week, it made a really good argument for staying in the office.

In hindsight, i could have brought lunch into her office.

Live and learn.
