The Sharpening Stone – Declare Your Outlook

2021-03-08T13:17:10+00:00

Hi Everyone! We all can learn from our past, and 2020 was a year unlike any other.  In fact, it was an incredibly challenging year that threw everything that we considered normal upside down.  From COVID, to the election, to racial justice issues, businesses shuttering, home/online schooling, and events cancelled; along with guidelines [...]

2021-01-26T13:52:12+00:00

The Sharpening Stone – A Manager’s Guide to Getting Results

2020-11-28T02:20:02+00:00

We’ve all been there. We’re expecting an employee to do something or produce a desired result and it’s just not happening. The tendency may be to think they’re goofing off or being lazy, or that they have been side-tracked by other tasks and priorities. While either of these may be the case, it’s [...]

The Sharpening Stone – Next One Up

2020-10-20T01:58:21+00:00

I have always had a love for sports, and especially in big games when a title or championship is on the line. It’s always been interesting to me to watch those that you expect to do well deliver in the clutch, but I’ve always been more intrigued by those that had little expectations [...]

The Sharpening Stone – Accountability is NOT a Four-letter Word

2020-10-14T02:13:17+00:00

If, like most of us, you have ever resolved to engage some process of self-improvement, you have probably confronted the sobering fact that saying something, even really wanting it, is not the same as doing it. Any effort to engage such a process readily reveals several realities: We all aspire to be better, [...]

The Sharpening Stone – Does Your Board Know its Job?

2020-10-14T02:13:55+00:00

In our work with boards, we tend to see two extremes.  On one end of the continuum is the rubber stamp board.  We see this most often in organizations that have an assertive, high-performing and highly trusted executive director or CEO.  Oftentimes that person founded the organization and they may take the lead [...]

The Sharpening Stone – Awaken the Sleeping Giant

2020-10-14T02:00:20+00:00

I'd like to tell a couple of stories today, and I suspect you'll probably nod your heads and recognize some of the scenarios. There was a sales team that I knew, and they did okay.  They were close to quota, but never really blew it out, nor completely bombed.  I asked the manager [...]

Who comes to mind when you think of the greatest American leaders?  George Washington? Abe Lincoln?  Susan B. Anthony?  Martin Luther King, Jr?
