Organizational humility is a powerful thought.

How does organizational humility transfer to tangible leadership behaviors? Amongst dozens, hundreds, or thousand of organizational leaders?

How?

Simple.

Do the basics brilliantly.

  1. Vision
  2. Involvement
  3. Accountability
  4. Commitment

That’s the goal isn’t it?

7-second video: There’s a special relationship between the Cockerells, Maberrys and the Noels. Special relationship between Glacier and Disney too. Note: Lee’s Main Street Window is above my head.

Walking through Disney University (DU) this morning had the chance to chat with a Cast Member in the DU lobby.

She began her 41-year career in 1981 at Magic Kingdom Food and Beverage.

After 21 years in F&B Ops, she’s spent the past two decades in Training Operations, including the past year at DU.

On the walk home, nearing DU, this question came to mind…

Do you still feel like you did on Day One?

For each of us, that’s the goal isn’t it?

Mountain leadership

Going-to-the-Sun Mountain, right. Mahtapi Peak, center-left. Piegan is the huge left-side mountain.

If you hike with me in Glacier, you can expect me to:

  • Be at our trailhead by 6AM (to ensure parking)
  • Plan easiest hikes early in week
  • Plan longer hikes later in week
  • Have fun
  • Be flexible
  • Stop often to gaze and wonder
  • Use sound leadership judgement
  • Carry more water than you think you’ll need
  • Plan on worst case
  • Carry a Garmin satellite GPS device for emergencies
  • Carry a basic 1st aid kit
  • Carry a headlamp (you should too)
  • Stop often to take photos/vids (you should too)
  • Carry a pocket rain poncho (you should too)
  • Carry a pocket emergency blanket (you should too)
  • Carry bear spray (you won’t need to if you’re with me, otherwise, never go on a trail without bear spray)
  • Carry a power brick (you should too)
  • Carry backup eye-glasses (you should too)
  • Carry gloves, neckerchief, beanie (for unexpected windchill)

C S Coach

Upper right: the dam and lake from last blog. Searched Google for Southwest USA dams. Can’t find a match.

C S Coach.

Not C S Lewis.

C S Coach.

Can’t share why publicly.

Why?

Probably go to hell for the sarcasm.

But, next time you see me….

Ask.

This concludes today’s fun riff capturing the newest ‘book titles’. Prior to today, Judas stood alone. Feels therapeutic to add three new ‘titles’ – Ms. Treeted, Dr. Unk, and C S Coach.

Meanwhile, stay over-focused

Meanwhile, stay over-focused on leading yourself.

This is a profoundly simple concept.

This concept is simply profound.

Highest bar: mind, body, spirit, work, home.

Lead (yourself) like you mean it!
