Leadership is a nebulous concept. I mean, we all know when we’ve got a good leader or when the person in charge doesn’t know what they’re doing. But that’s not the same as defining leadership. I mean, there are leaders that are outspoken and there are leaders who listen patiently. There are leaders who lead from the front and there are leaders who are more hands off.

As we inch closer and closer to success, you may notice things begin to change. I’ve seen it happen with friends of mine. They start to act differently. They make different, sometimes unwise, choices. They look at life differently. Then there are those who stay true to who they are. They walk the talk. They are the real deal. Both are dealing with their success.

I’ve shared recently about ways we injure our spouse without even knowing it. You can read the husband’s post HERE and the wife’s post HERE.

Most companies have ethics and compliance policies that get reviewed and signed annually by all employees. “Employees are charged with conducting their business affairs in accordance with the highest ethical standards,” reads one such example. “Moral as well as legal obligations will be fulfilled in a manner which will reflect pride on the Company’s name.” Of course, that policy comes directly from Enron.

We work in a fast-moving era where we’re overloaded with information and must prioritize and focus in order to succeed. That’s certainly the case for today’s corporations. But it’s also true for us as individuals.

No one who listens to Alan Mulally describe Ford’s remarkable turnaround escapes his rendition of One Ford , One Team , and Working Together. “Those are more than just words,” he passionately declared. Ford employees were expected to carry their CEO’s “one-ness” message with them on laminated cards. Mulally’s mantras literally rephrased how a factionalized Ford would forge unity of purpose.

Following the election of Donald Trump, spending on American infrastructure appears to be one area where Democrats and Republicans can agree—at least in principle. Trump has pledged to push for $1 trillion of new spending on roads, bridges, and more; but some Democrats (and some conservatives too) have criticized how Trump plans to find the money.
