In most organizations, there are usually some leaders who are achieving better results than others. This is a good thing. These days, very few travel dollars are needed to get help. What it takes is the willingness to ask the person achieving good results how they are doing it. One difference between a…

It is hard to be unhappy and grateful at the same time. I heard this over 42 years ago at a very low point in my life. I was in my early 30s and was sad and lonely. As I began to work my way out of the deep hole, a person I asked to help me suggested I take time each morning to write down three things from the previous day that I was grateful…

In the first book I authored, Hardwiring Excellence, I used the metaphor of a flywheel to describe how consistent, values-driven actions create momentum in an organization. The idea of the flywheel initially came from author Jim Collins. A flywheel takes effort to start moving; however, once it gets going, the flywheel turns with less effort. The flywheel I outlined in my work has purpose, worthwhile work, and making a difference at the core. Leaders play a key role in helping…

Few professions offer the privilege of touching lives in as many ways as nursing. From birth to end of life, through vulnerability, illness, and healing—nurses serve as connectors to health, humanity, and hope. In a recent episode of the Healthcare Plus Podcast, Quint Studer spoke with two visionary leaders from Georgetown University: Dr. Roberta Waite, inaugural dean of the relaunched independent Berkley School of Nursing (BSON), and Dr. Stephan Davis, the inaugural executive director of…

November 19, 2025

As a leader, you are probably carrying around lots of tools. Some you picked up long ago. Others you’ve kept accumulating with the years and the relentless march of technology. The question is, do you have the RIGHT tools to do your job? If you’ve ever met a novice backpacker, you might notice they’re weighed down with all kinds of stuff.

Have you heard that most car accidents happen close to home? It’s often because the driver’s familiarity with the roads leads to complacency. The same happens in a community. Citizens get used to something the way it is. Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns encourages people to walk their community. When I do this, I see things that I don’t experience in a car. For example, I might see a power pole in the middle of…

November 8, 2025

“Face the brutal facts.” That is a lesson Jim Collins included in his book Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…and Others Don’t. This book continues to provide an excellent blueprint for any organization that wants to be great. Sometimes the work a company is doing is good; it’s just not enough to achieve the desired goal.

Do not assume. This thought hit me as I read feedback from attendees of a sales conference. The most often mentioned takeaway is to focus on building relationships. Reading them, I wondered how many of us make assumptions in this area. Do the people we lead know a positive outcome begins by building a relationship?
