Wisdom Wednesday – Rock Stars, Rock Steadies, and Rock Bottoms

I was recently out for supper with a bunch of friends including one high level manager who oversees a Canada-wide IT team for a large corporation. It was interesting to compare notes about our workplaces. He said he is all about high performers and strongly believes in performance management, expecting high results but also rewarding […]

Things That Are Societal “Constructs”

Been thinking about this a bit lately in a variety of ways – the “controversy” over gender fluidity/Drag Queen storytimes/”grooming”, the notion of what constitutes “professionalism” as I wear jeans and a t-shirt to work every day while having the most rat-nesty beard this side of Santa Claus, and then the above thought I saw […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Overt vs. Covert

This isn’t really advice I was given by someone but more of a personal observation I’ve made after seeing it repeatedly over the years.  Whenever there is something decided, especially when its some sort of major decision, there’s usually an overt reason people give for the decision but also a covert reason they may or […]

Saturday Snap – Boundaries? What Boundaries?

In my Wisdom Wednesday series, I’ll eventually do a post about the difference I see between what I call “black & white” thinkers and “grey area” thinkers.  (Myers-Briggs has 16 classifications.  True Colors has 4.  Hamology basically only has 2!) One big aspect of this difference is that are those who think there are hard […]

Secular Sunday – Wrong Answers Only!

Watch this with sound and subtitles off then tell me what you think this is. (My guesses: World’s Worst Breakdancer Contest?  Man Discovers Metallica For The First Time?  Invisible Electric Shock Therapy?)

Wisdom Wednesday – “Leadership is about going out of your comfort zone to help others.”

I was once in an interview where I was asked about my definition of leadership.  I was in a terrible head space so I froze up then gave an answer that basically insulted everyone in the room! I’ll probably try a “redo” of that question in blog form some day as I have lots of […]
