Three failures in 3 days at Nantahala Lake taught me more about leadership than any book. Failure can be a catalyst for growth—if handled right. Learn together & grow together, or blame together & fail together. #Leadership #GrowthMindset #Failure

Who gave you confidence when you had none? Leadership isn’t invented—it’s inherited. The scorecard shifts from what you achieve to who you develop. What are you passing on today that someone will thank you for in 20 years? #Leadership #Mentorship

Being a LinkedIn Top Voice taught me: the more visible you become, the more important invisible leadership becomes. Great leaders use their platform to elevate others, not themselves. How do you balance building your brand with actually leading? #Leadership #Authenticity #Branding

Every company needs calm in a crisis. But if every day feels like one, that’s an ops issue too. Leaders must be architects, not firefighters. Pick one recurring fire this week + build a fix. #Leadership #Excellence

GOP: We protect kids!

So—ban child labor?
GOP: No

Ban child marriages?
GOP: No

Ban children from carrying guns?
GOP: No

Ban gun sales w/o background checks?

Then how exactly do protect kids?🤔
GOP: We ban books, discussions on racism, drag, free school lunch, & Tylenol.

Promotion without preparation = frustration. Top performer skills ≠ leadership skills. Most companies promote, then wonder why they struggle. This week’s video: how to turn promotions into transformations. #Leadership

This is also how I feel. Thanks for sharing @qasimrashid.com

My candid thoughts on the death of Charlie Kirk.

As a Muslim, I’ve received an onslaught of hate from Kirk supporters who believed his disinformation about Islam and Muslims. Yet, I do not rejoice in his death. At all. So why have empathy for those who show none?

Reflections on the Death of Charlie Kirk

Empathy in a not so empathetic time is not a sign of weakness -- but of humanity

The best planning session I saw? The leader waited until the last 10 mins to speak. Facilitate, don’t dominate. Ask, listen, then share. Your team has answers you haven’t thought of. How long do you wait before giving your opinion? #Leadership #Strategy

Don’t wait until December to celebrate wins! Strategic recognition keeps top performers engaged.
Low-cost favorites: homemade cookies for values, BBQs for improvements, coffee runs for collaboration. Consistency > cash.

Leaders make thousands of decisions daily. No wonder we’re exhausted.

Most decisions hitting your desk shouldn’t be there. When teams understand strategy and boundaries, decisions get made at the right level.

What decisions should someone else own?

Ask your team: What are your top 3 priorities right now? If they hesitate, that’s on us as leaders to clarify. This week’s video explores why specificity empowers better work. How do you keep your team aligned on what matters most? #Leadership #Communication

Back after successful surgery with an unexpected leadership lesson. A visit to Northside Hospital Cherokee turned into a masterclass in ownership—clear processes, transparent communication, exceptional outcomes (and great fried chicken). Leaders at every level. #Leadership

Too many leaders default to control—tightening processes and managing outcomes. But curiosity is just as powerful. In today’s video, I share why asking better questions builds stronger teams and better results. How are you leading with curiosity? #Leadership #GrowthMindset

Some of the best leaders I’ve known had no title. Leadership starts before the promotion—it’s about curiosity, consistency, and character. It’s how you show up, take initiative, and lead by example. Where are you leading from today? #Leadership #Influence #GrowthMindset

Meet Micah (white) & Freddy (black)—7-year-old bonded boys we adopted after their mom went into nursing care. Micah settled in fast; Freddy hid for a month. Inspired by our daughter Ray to adopt older pets. Now they each have a favorite human—and our hearts. ❤️🐾

What drives your team—motivation or momentum?

Momentum builds when leaders create systems that track progress, recognize wins, and connect daily work to the bigger picture. It’s sustainable, not fleeting.

This week’s video dives in.

Had minor surgery this week—everything went smoothly thanks to the great care at Northside Hospital Cherokee. While recovering, I recorded a short video on why leaders shouldn’t hide the hard stuff. Sharing to help normalize moments like this. #AuthenticLeadership #HonestWork

Is your feedback fueling growth or burnout? Used well, feedback energizes teams and drives performance. Done poorly, it deflates and disengages. Be clear, constructive, and growth-focused to truly support your team. #LeadershipDevelopment #Feedback

What’s your leadership energy saying—without words? Your tone, body language, and presence shape how your team responds. Trust or doubt? Engage or withdraw? Your unspoken influence begins the moment you walk in. #Nonverbal #LeadershipDevelopment

This is disgraceful and disgusting happening here in America.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

We’re not here to build clubs—we’re here to create culture. True culture breaks silos, unites teams, and fosters belonging. Leaders, are you building for all—or just a few? #CultureFirst #InclusiveLeadership #Collaboration #ExecutiveLeadership

Leadership isn’t about bursts of energy—it’s about showing up with purpose daily. Consistency builds trust, creates stability, and drives long-term success. How do you stay consistent as a leader? #Leadership #TeamCulture #LeadByExample
