Is building relationships as hard for you as it has been for me? I’ve always thought it was easier to just relax in the corner without having a conversation, than trying to find the courage to talk to someone and then work really hard to carry a conversation. In this article, I want to share […]
Stability in chaos is difficult. Without it, people ride a rollercoaster of emotions that lead to panic and failure. Learn about the importance of stability in leadership, and how it impacts your teams.
Leaders who are too busy to hire, aren’t thinking about things the right way. Here’s one of my stories about hiring when I was too busy to hire.
My first contractor hiring experience was not great. I remember vividly interviewing the candidate over the phone. They seemed like a perfect fit. I scheduled time for a couple of other team members to interview the candidate, and that went well too. I remember thinking, this candidate appears to be from India, but there was […]
