Rob Hey continues to share his thoughts this month on how we can serve more effectively at work. It is amazing to see people around the office that will step up and serve when the time calls for it. We all have talents and gifts that can be used in powerful ways if we will [...]

The Intention in Influence
Posted in Influence, Leadership, Mentoring, Serve, Seven Pillars of Faith and Work, tagged faith at work, giant impact, pillars of faith, spheres of influence, true influence on December 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
We have been teaching, writing and talking about Influence this month, one of the Seven Pillars of Faith at Work. As leaders, walking (sprinting is more like it) through the end of 2011 and into a fresh new year, Influence has to be omnipresent. I am reading Leadership is Dead: How Influence is Reviving It by Giant Impact CEO Jeremie Kubicek. Jeremie [...]
Navigating the Integrity Minefield

Ethics training often comes to us as hypothetical scenarios that barely resemble anything we see as “regular” workers, and hardly provides a map to navigate the hazards challenging our integrity at work. Most of us will never experience an Enron scandal, or a Madoff ponzi scheme at work. People familiar with these matters must have [...]
What if there was no Jesus?

We are blessed to have ESPN Basketball Analyst, Jimmy Dykes, share today as our guest blogger. This past weekend, I was watching a college football game, when a coach was asked at halftime, “How does the loss of your starting quarterback affect you?” The coach answered quickly, “nothing changes,” and walked away. Maybe that coach [...]
What Leaders Do…
Posted in Leadership, Servant Leadership, Serve, The Joseph Project on June 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Today, we held our final Joseph Project meeting. It was bitter/sweet, for sure. For 2 1/2 years, WorkMatters has worked to “alter the journey of business people between jobs.” We have held 119 meetings and been blessed to see over 200 people find jobs through The Joseph Project (read their stories). One statistic seems to get lost in the blessings of altering the journey [...]
Decisions
Posted in Decisions, Journaling, Leadership, Prayer on June 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
We move so fast in our work. The pace can be frantic sometimes. We get in the habit of making decisions quickly. Then, before we know it, we are making important decisions quickly and based solely on what we think is right. One of the great leaders of the Bible was exceptionally good at inquiring [...]
Employees and Bosses
Posted in Boss, Excellence, Integrity, Leadership, Purpose, Serve on April 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I am reading Ephesians this week and this scripture, of course, stood out. I don’t think it needs more explanation today… 5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is [...]
Life to the Fullest

We are blessed in northwest Arkansas (where WorkMatters emanates from) to have some incredible business leaders. I am blessed to have the opportunity to build relationships with many of them. Together, we invest time in thinking through what faith and work looks like and how to live it on a daily basis. Recently, the newly appointed President and [...]
Leadership Lessons

Mike Duke, CEO Wal-Mart Stores, is a leader many of us know and respect here in northwest Arkansas. It’s hard to fathom the challenge of leading the largest company in the world. He is humble, faithful and requires business excellence from himself and his associates. Read these excerpts from a recent interview Mike Duke did [...]
