Grit is More Than Sand in Your Teeth

Emma Wharton
Wind is blowing sand in every direction.  There’s sand in my teeth, eyes, and ears.  The other guides and I are doing our best to cook dinner for our 20 river trip guests who are acting like starfish holding down their tents. Boats are flipping over, the tables have already blown over.   We’ve dug a…

Loving Losers and Lessons Earned

Cathleen Garrison
There are many gifts my father, who died eight years ago, gave his five children. Those include in random order: hunger for knowledge, trustworthiness, eternal love for our Mom, and a goofy penchant for eating popcorn while watching slapstick comedy. These will remain as lovely personal gifts no one can ever take away and proof…

Creating Culture

Kevin Treadway
As the Chief of the Flagstaff Police Department, I might appreciate more than most the importance of creating the “right” culture in an organization.

Don’t Take this Personally: Leadership and the 2nd Agreement

Scott Hathcock
I’m going to make perhaps a highly controversial statement about leadership by saying: nothing others do is because of you.  Nothing others do is because of you? Correct, so my next advice would be to not take anything personally.  I wish I had originated this wisdom, but it is the second of four agreements proposed by Don Miguel Ruiz,…

Do you need mediation?

Cathy Steers
How do you handle disagreements between employees or, worse yet, between an employee and supervisor? One option is to offer mediation. Giving the warring parties space to talk and be heard can go a long way towards diffusing the situation. If you can get the parties to come up with a mutual agreement on how…

3 Qualities Needed for Leadership

Bret Carpenter
I am not the classic extrovert that our society tends to identify as a leader. I am an introvert. I am often drawn more to computers and machines than to people. So why would I be writing about leadership?  Leadership is analyzed all the time in today’s world. You would have thought we would have…
