The Best Leaders Listen




What distinguishes good leadership? Have a plan? Planning for all possibilities? Garnering advice from those you can trust?

According to The Center for Creative Leadership, it's all that and more. A good leader inspires trust, fosters collaboration, and drives results through integrity, clear communication, and empathy. They are self-aware, resilient, and adaptable, focusing on empowering their team while taking accountability for outcomes. Effective leaders lead by example, mentoring others to achieve professional growth.

Nowhere in there do I see, "I alone can fix this."

Ancient Wisdom

Where there is no guidance, a nation falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
- Proverbs 11:14

Voice of the day

A painting is more than the sum of its parts. A cow by itself is just a cow, a meadow by itself is just grass, flowers, and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but you put them all together...and it can be magic.
- Richard Baker in “Flipped” (2014)

And in 2026?

Two political experts were blown away on Thursday after President Donald Trump proved he "paid attention to nothing" that his war advisors are telling him. -Raw Story

We're in for a rough landing.
