By Chris Brady Leadership is with, for, and about people. One of the most important things for a leader to learn is how to deal with people. I am amazed at the vast variety of people in our world.

Climbing Through Pain
January 5, 2011 by Leave a Comment
By Orrin Woodward I once read a profound book by Robert Grudin, The Grace of Great Things. It describes a philosophy of innovation and creation and really makes you think and helps you understand why new ideas are attacked so aggressively. In the section "Ethics of Creativity," Grudin says: "To be truly open to any experience, the mind … [Read more...]
Learning in Earth School

By Steve D’Annunzio Human beings repeat the same mistakes over and over. We see this tendency with people who have many relationships, but none work.

Are Blind Spots Crippling You?
December 28, 2010 by 1 Comment
By Chris Brady There is a saying that I have always liked: "The difference between self-perception and reality is often enormous." The size of that difference is called a "blind spot." Unfortunately, we all have them. Perhaps the way you chew your food drives people crazy. Or maybe you interrupt others constantly and annoy them as a … [Read more...]

By Oliver DeMille I wrote in an earlier review of several recent articles and books on “the end of men.” Such writings sparked a lot of discussion on the national scene, mostly among women.

Habits and Leadership Success
December 14, 2010 by Leave a Comment
By Orrin Woodward I once read a quote that struck me as a key principle for personal growth: “Bad habits are easy to learn, but hard to live with and good habits are hard to learn, but easy to live with.” Think through this principle in your personal life.
