My passions are simple, “Leading & Inspiring People” + "Growing a Better Way" + “Getting Things Done.”LEADING & INSPIRING PEOPLE: I believe people want to be led and inspired, not managed. You manage inanimate things — not people. People do great things when they are valued, respected, share in the triumphs and know why things are being done. I have been fortunate more than once in my life to be on some teams that came together and accomplished some extraordinary things. It is a bit of magic really — a wonderful experience. Everyone pulling in the same direction: energy, frustration, fun. GROWING A BETTER WAY: The Better Way always starts out as someone’s idea. And then, through a lot of perseverance, some timing, and a bit of luck, it either makes it and grows, or dies on the vine. In my experience, I have found The Better Way often lacks “oxygen” because people forget to ... TELL THE STORY. The story cannot be confusing, complicated, and text heavy. Your story — The Better Way — must be memorable, customer-oriented, and focused on the right people. That way the target audience hears and understands the story, and The Better Way has a chance to flourish. And that’s when the magic happens.GETTING THINGS DONE: Plans people understand, clear measurable objectives people believe in, right people in the right job given the right tools - and get out of the way.To me, fun stuff!
