When you're hiring high performers, don't make this mistake
Do you remember the A Team? I don't know if you watched the A Team like I did. I would rush home after school, finish my homework, and see if I could be done in time to enjoy an episode of the A Team. In our house, you had to be done with today's homework,...
High Performers need more than Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose
I love Dan Pink's Drive Dan Pink wrote a great book called Drive. It really is a fantastic read and I strongly recommend that you read it if you haven't. In the book, he highlights that engagement is often a by-product of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. He's highlighting that everything we know about employment and...
I bought a Surface Book and I like it

Meet Syed Balkhi (by the numbers) and wish him happy birthday!
Do you know my friend, Syed Balkhi? No? He doesn't pay me to be his PR. I'm just so impressed with him and how hard he works, and how generous he is with his knowledge, that I want to make sure you know him. He's the guy behind List25.com, WPBeginner.com, and tons of WordPress plugins....

Want me to write about your product?

14 Reasons for Firing You (that have nothing to do with your age)
The truth is, there are a lot of reasons to be fired that have nothing to do with your age. The other day I read a post about 3 reasons millennials are being fired. From the discussions I've seen, read, and participated in about the article, people have anchored on the dynamic of the...
You know who needs grace? I'll tell you
Remember when I said Embrace Grace? The other day I wrote about grace, from the perspective of dealing with drama in a community. My challenge to you was to assume the best in people, to live with the knowledge that you don't know the whole story, and to embrace grace. And you do that. I...
Why my corporate sites don't show \"the team\"
I'm ok agreeing to disagree... I want to share with you why my corporate sites - I'm talking about any company where I'm one of the execs - won't ever show a \"the team\" page. It's not because I don't want to share the spotlight. I'll tell you a story about my experiences and see...
