I do not know them, but I would imagine they are some of the TEAM you have today or that you knew or know have succeeded. I am trying to avoid writing much today and ask all our leaders and friends to pray and remember just for today a time of respect and mourning for the senseless act committed against our nation. Please at your convenience or however you choose to take that time. Thanks for considering as you always do others before yourself. A friend of the team.

My thought on Blame is- Being Less According to ME. Yes that is what blame does, it allows my own inability as a leader to view circumstances or problems from a insurmountable side rather than a potential to become. Each time blame is placed I will lose something valuable in the personal growth I require and desire to become a more effective communicator. If I have any doubt its blame ,there is a good chance it probably is. If I take the time to listen more, speak less and then communicate, the answer will come not as failure but as a solution. Have a great day today.

My thought is that as a leader (and we all are) expressing transparency at the appropriate time is a great quality to have so that trust built with those that we work with or for. The relationship between productivity and trust is only optimized through helping to see each person as important and helping them through their part in the big picture whatever that might be. Some are work related, some are personal and others become a combination of both items. If we try to remember that both are equally important to any individual, we are able to see each other through even the worst times in organizations or our personal lives. Have a great day!
