Leadership & Hypocrisy

Leaders who not only preach one thing and do another take it to a whole other level when they teach others what they should be demonstrating.

There aren't very many "relational leaders" out there. Here are a few basic actions that to me, describe what a relational leader (rl) looks like:

They care about their staff outside the 9-5 window.

They are the first to admit a fault.

They don't expect others to do what they don't do.

They give frequent recognition, especially in public.

They treat everyone in the same manner.

This is certainly not an exhaustive list but some of the major items. I hope to addore soon.

Character & Competence!


So many organizations focus on training, skills, certifications, degrees, experience, knowledge, and abilities when hiring, placement, and promotion. Why is it when you have to correct or even terminate someone it is almost always character related?

The Character Solution


There is a way to lead your team to greatness. There is hope, and there can be a light at the end of the tunnel that isn't a train. The problems we face are frequently personal character issues that cannot be solved with programs, techniques, or more hours at the office. Creating a culture of character within our organization is the solution to many of these challenges. Fortunately, there is a way to make this transformation that has been tried and proven in a myriad of arenas. (from "Making Character First" page 2)
