Today I’m onto a simple subject, fortitude. We’re going to have a frank discussion and pull in character, and leadership. Fortitude is defined as courage in pain or adversity. Coupled with character, which is the mental and moral strength of an individual, if you have those two things, you are on your way to being […]
Let’s talk about a couple, two specifically key leadership skills! Today I’m sharing two skills that I think are highly underutilized once we get into leadership and management. And they are significant keys to success. And yes, I’ve probably mentioned these before… but, it’s one of those things that’s speaking to me right now. Before […]
Welcome! Today, I’m talking about this podcast and some things I have coming up. I’ll be happy stop a few times, since we’re live, feel free to ask some questions in the sidebar! So, let’s chat. This happens to be the 85th Episode of THE FRONT – I started this podcast to really focus on: […]
How do you handle it when things don’t go right? If you are a manager or leader – YOU MUST OWN the situation. Owning anything is defined as belonging to oneself.
