When it comes to the holidays, every family has its own traditions. Year after year, we get together and do what we always do. Without these traditions, it probably wouldn’t even feel like a holiday, right? As big of a deal as Christmas is, I think Thanksgiving ranks just as high. For me, it’s the […]
ContinueYou Can Always Do Nothing
Today, just like every day, you’ll have to tackle a long ‘to-do list’ and make a lot of decisions. So, as you go down the list and contemplate each item, what are your choices? Do it well… do it ‘good enough’… do it poorly… or do nothing. Although managers get frustrated with employees that do […]
ContinueYour People Make the Difference
