It’s Okay to Ask for Help

Guy Leave a Comment

By Guy Harris Most new, front-line leaders have a history of being excellent individual performers. They are good at what they do, and, as a result, they get the opportunity to move into leadership.

What About Confidence?

Kevin Eikenberry Leave a Comment

By Kevin Eikenberry I’m a big believer in the power of confidence. However, confidence often comes with a caveat. People would like to be confident, but most don’t want to be seen as cocky or over-confident.  Because of that worry, they don’t go far enough. They grew up learning that “pride comes before a fall" (from Proverbs 16:18), and who wants to fall? While I … [Read more...]
