Great years are built before they begin.

These organizational principles are inextricably linked to our leadership beliefs and behaviors.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week.

Leading change is leadership.

Choose to be great by seeing greatness in others.

What's something you've dreamed about doing that you keep putting off?"

Uncommunicated expectations are premeditated resentments.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

Choosing greatness, I believe, is tied to choosing trust.

This is a repost from last year. My rationale for sharing it again is two-fold: It's really hard to overdo kindness, but it doesn't hurt to try! Also, I need more time to finish thinking through next week's post on "Trust." In that spirit, I hope you - and, far more importantly, others - will find encouragement on the other end of this message. The postscript offer is still good, too. Let me know if you complete all three kindness challenges.
