The Hardest Part
Someone shared with me yesterday that they had read a book about leadership. They went on to explain exactly what it was that they learned from the book, and it was good, too! It gave them a really good data point to begin the work. Applying it, though, is the hard...
Is Patience a Virtue or a Skill?
Tonight, on my Leadership Masterclass, we will be discussing patience. Can you think of anything less sexy than patience when it comes to leadership topics? Probably not, but...patience is arguably more important than its very sexy counterpart confidence. Tell me...
