"Excellence
Ain’t Easy" • Self-Improvement:
In a futile attempt to eliminate failure, we’re eliminating
excellence. Segments of society advocate homogeneous standards—I
call that Mediocrity!
"Can
You Shoot Your Own Dog?" • Leadership:
Earning the respect of others comes from consistently doing the
"right things", which means sometimes doing the "hard
and uncomfortable things".
"Say
What?" • Improving Communications:
Here’s a recipe for effective communication—four parts
listening, two parts thinking and one part talking.
"You
Can’t See-Saw by Yourself!" •
Teamwork: If the goals of the team address the needs
of its members—everyone wins! This is called synergy—it
is the essence of teamwork.
