Morning Leaders – Truth Telling
Morning Leaders. Not everyone is interested in the Truth, especially when it disrupts their system. And yet we are called to speak to systems too. #ContinueSpeakingTruth
Morning Leaders – Wing Clip
Morning Leaders. A friend recently shared with me how we clip the wings of birds to allow them to fly a little but not enough so they can get away. This is replicated in some organizations. They clip the people’s wings to restrict independence and to make them easier to manage (read: control) in order to socialize them into their system. As a result some people get so socialized they never fly the way they were designed to fly. #WingClippers #CultureOfFear #BewareOfTheClip
Morning Leaders – Silence
Morning Leaders. Sometimes the best thing is…Silence. Sometimes the best event is…Solitude. Sometimes the best moment requires…Reflection.
Morning Leaders – Setting Our Aim
Morning Leaders. “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark” – Michelangelo
Morning Leaders – Hard Work
Morning Leaders. “If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all” – Michelangelo #StayGrinding
Morning Leaders – Desire
Morning Leaders. “Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.” – Michelangelo #KeepinIt100
Morning Leaders – Autocrats
Morning Leaders. Autocrats are able to get things done, but it is usually at the cost of people’s independence and their spirits. I truly despise autocratic behavior in organizations. The scariest part for me is the majority of autocrats usually don’t believe they are being autocrats. #AbsolutePowerCorruptsAbsolutely #ReadTheNews #CheckYourHeart
Morning Leaders – Dreaming
Morning Leaders. “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C. S. Lewis #MovingForward
Morning Leaders – Influence
Morning Leaders. Even though you might not be physically there often, do not negate the influence you have on others with your words, presence, and/or demeanor. People are noticing.
