1,500 Leaders

Posted in Leadership, Servant Leadership, Serve on May 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Last Friday, the world changed. Why? 1,500 men and women invested seven straight hours listening to  and learning from 10 world-class speakers teaching leadership. What do you think the exponential impact will be of those 1,500 people in the northwest Arkansas marketplace? As those 1,500 people interact globally with their co-workers, customers and suppliers…what will the impact be? [...]

I feel God’s pleasure in all of the incredible detail work that must be done to make this happen with excellence. I will have the chance to [...]

Tommy Van Zandt is a Partner in Sage Partners, a highly respected commercial real estate company in northwest Arkansas. Following a devastating ice storm in 2009, Tommy fell from a ladder while [...]

I know this sounds strange, but I sometimes take notes at a funeral. It seems it is a time where all that is good, all that is important, all that transcends a life…gets shared by people who care the most.  Yesterday, we celebrated the life of Carl Carpenter, whose son Rick is a close friend of [...]

Make a Difference Today

One day I asked Mr. Ron, “Mr. Ron, all these white folks be inviting us to their Bible studies?” How come none of ‘em’s inviting us to their Bible doins?” I ain’t sayin it ain’t all right to study the Bible. You got to study the Bible to know the rules of life. But I [...]

He Finished the Race

Last Friday, he went to work. Like he had for over 60 years. Yes, he retired for a year or so. But he went right back to work, believe it or not…driving a school bus early in the morning. All of the drivers started their buses each morning and awaited a quick safety check before departing. After [...]

Reset II

How often do you experience a true reset? It’s pretty rare isn’t it? Well, some of us had TWO resets within 24 hours last week. Last Thursday night, 1,000 people hit the reset button at the funeral of a precious little 10-year-old girl, Olivia Ray (see “Reset” post). Then on Friday night, I witnessed something that truly amazed [...]

Front Lines or Support?

Posted in Excellence, Faith and Work, Servant Leadership on June 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Are you on the front lines in your work or do you support those who are? Often times, those on the front lines get the headlines and the rewards when business is good. But who helped them succeed? I am amazed at the business truths available to us in the Bible. Of course I shouldn’t [...]

What is Your Name?

Posted in Excellence, Influence, Integrity, Servant Leadership, Seven Pillars of Faith and Work on March 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Pretty simple question, right? What if I said, “What does your name stand for”?   A couple of Sunday’s ago I heard a great message from a friend, Dan Muciuk. He told the story of Jacob and his mother Rebekah tricking and deceiving Jacob’s father Isaac into blessing Jacob instead of his brother Esau. When you [...]
