by Mike Phillips

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.

by Mike Phillips

You must stay consistent in your daily activities! I’ve said it before and said it consistently – SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES!

What Others Pour In (The FRONT #77)

by Mike Phillips

I am talking about what people are pouring in, to you! I did this as another Facebook Live Episode, which I am beginning to enjoy more!

by Mike Phillips

Happy Valentine’s Day 2018! Today, I decided to do a Facebook Live! For episode #68. To tell my wife and my family – THANK YOU! So often, as managers or leaders, we get tied up. We get busy. We forget to just say, “thank you,” to those that are continually supporting us throughout our crazy […]

Some Leadership Notes (The FRONT #67)

by Mike Phillips

Today, I just compiled some of my thoughts on paper and put together five leadership notes. Many people think they are leaders. Some are correct… and frankly, some are not.
