This past week has been fascinating in terms of learning how the media works. It is not so much having something written about me, that has been done and it is always fun to see a book review about “Don’t Bring It to Work” or an article like the one in The Wall Street Journal a month ago.
That is so different from what has happened this week. I was asked to do an interview with radaronline.com. It is not the usual place you will find me. However, there I was talking with a reporter about one of the participants in our Total Leadership Connections program.

 Hey, take a minute and look in the mirror. Not to judge, just to look. Now, what do you see?
Most of us will start with what is wrong. Sad but true. We live in a sort and judge, sort and judge world. We come from a fix and hide, fix and hide society. Think about teeth; how white is white enough? Why should teeth be super white anyway?

We are deeply into the second session of our 44th Total Leadership Connections program and I am still amazed when the dots between our backgrounds and work issues become clear.
 In the present group is a young woman who grew up in a communist country and we had the privilege of hearing a first hand report of the tests and trials her family had to endure.

 Yesterday I talked about the tension at work where men are searching for ways to navigate that tough middle road between being a great employee or business owner and a father who is present for his children.
I saw this dilemma first hand at an off-site with a national sales group. Picture the scene: the team of 22 from a sales organization was at The Country Place Retreat Center to have some fun on our outdoors team challenge course and to take advantage of our new program called “Build and Give” where they would put some two wheeler bikes together that would then be donated to charity.

 Hope all of you dads had a play day yesterday; and, even more importantly, that you were recognized and appreciated.
If you are an older dad, did you live in the “no guilt” zone? Or were there memories of missed little league games, missed school plays, missed opportunities to talk, really talk with the kids?

In “Don’t Bring It to Work” I discuss the 13 behavior patterns that follow us from our original organization, the family into our work organization.
The BIG, I mean BIG question is “Why do we keep doing the same things over and over and over and over and over“?

I just saw a news bulletin that BP apologized for its mess. Certainly took long enough. Yet, there are so many who need to apologize, including Halliburton and other subcontractors.
 In any case, apologies do help when they are made with the intention of setting things right. We will see how big oil does in the days to come.

 I just finished leading a tele-seminar with CTO’s from companies throughout the country.
The theme was about how to be the best, most self aware leaders so they could handle the people part of their job with ease and dignity.

 What happens when you can’t think of anything new and innovative? What if your job depends on your creative energy? How do you shake yourself into the “never thought of it before” state?
You can hire someone. That’s always an option.

Leadership in the 21st century is truly a team activity. It really does take a group of committed people to make positive change happen. So team collaboration is the best way forward.
On the other hand, each individual contributor must be seen in his or her own right as the one and only one who makes the whole team fly or fail.
