What if the problem isn't your effort? What if it's your approach?
Read how a high jumper from Southern Oregon and a Marine in a mediocre sci-fi novel make a case for why trying harder isn't always the answer.

What does a used K-Cup in the office Keurig have to do with leadership? More than you'd think. In Part 2 of the Becoming Good at Growth series, we get practical about what ownership actually looks like.

I have a confession. When I'm nervous or unsure, I use too many words. And it turns out, that's a leadership problem. In Part 3, we look at why communication isn't a courtesy. It's the operating system.

If you could only recommend five books every leader should read, what would they be? We landed on four. In Part 4 of the series, we talk about why "good enough" is a slow leak.

Language travels. Culture follows. The words leaders repeat become the standards teams carry. The question isn't whether language is shaping your culture. It's whether you're shaping the language.

Praise looks backward. Encouragement looks forward.
Forty years after a conversation with a high school teacher, I'm still learning why leaders who see potential before success leave a lasting mark.

It's nerdy, I admit. But I was listening to a podcast about the rise and fall of civilizations and--this has to do with Christmas, I promise--they were talking about the Nabataeans.
They were famous for controlling the spice trade, thousands of years ago, among other things. Two of their most coveted spices were familiar: Frankincense and myrrh.
Now, I know frankincense and myrrh were used as burial spices, and I that's why, we're told, the "wise men" brought them as gifts for the baby King.
But there may be even more to it than that.
The two spices are also, to this day, known for their healing properties.
But how do you harvest them? Look it up: "Harvesters make cuts in the tree's bark to wound the tree," says Google's AI summation, "and cause it to bleed resin."
You wound it. And it bleeds the precious resin that heals.
You know what? God's plan was there, the whole time. From the very beginning, of course. The gift-givers may not have completely understood--who could fully take it in?--but the plan to rescue us?
It was always there.
Still is.
Merry Christmas.
