Praying for Leaders Today

Posted in Leadership, Prayer, tagged , , , on May 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Today is National Day of Prayer. I can’t share a more fitting post today than the email I received this morning from Sam Bates, my teammate at WorkMatters. Tomorrow 125,000 leaders will assemble in 800 locations around the world to grow as leaders at the Chick-fil-A Leadercast. WorkMatters is hosting three sites this year, two [...]

Posted in Adversity, Choices, Honesty, Influence, Integrity, Leadership, Relationships, Vision, Wisdom, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 12, 2012 | 6 Comments »

The last seven days have yielded one of the most powerful displays of leadership that I have ever witnessed. Even if you are not a sports fan, you have likely heard the recent saga of University of Arkansas Football Coach Bobby Petrino. While  there are undoubtedly critical lessons we need to learn from Coach Petrino’s [...]

Too Many Priorities?

Posted in Balance, Choices, Faith and Work, Leadership, Peace, Planning, Prayer, Purpose, Workplace Prayer on April 2, 2012 | 1 Comment »

Many times we rush into a new week after a super hectic weekend with way more on our plate than what we might have remembered being there on Friday.  Most of the time, all that work stuff that we thought we would get done early Saturday morning or maybe Sunday evening gets taken over by [...]

How to Change Your Life in One Day

Posted in Faith and Work, Change, Leadership on March 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Is it possible to change your life in one day? Absolutely! I know because it happened to me. Nine years ago I made a choice. I chose to attend a leadership simulcast at my church. I did it because I love to learn and grow as a leader. I was VP of Sales/Marketing at J.B. Hunt Transport [...]

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 , , , , 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

Posted in Faith and Work, Honesty, Integrity, Judgment, Leadership, Seven Pillars of Faith and Work, tagged , , , , , , , , , on October 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

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?

Posted in Jesus, Leadership, tagged , , on October 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »

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 [...]
