Hiring is one of the most complicated yet possibly the most critical parts of our job as leaders. But time and time again I see leaders make hasty decisions when it comes to hiring. Most of the time, their haste has good reason. An employee just left leaving a gaping hole of responsibilities… budget was […]

This guy and I just got back from a 3 mile run. He loves our morning runs. He’s just as eager to go today as he was a decade ago. But at 14 years old, he’s a little slower than he used to be. His joints bark back and his breathing is a bit more […]
