Challenging Others Through the Pushback (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I’ve challenged my employees, my board members, my teammates, my church leaders, I often experience pushback. Unfortunately, as soon as I experience that pushback, I stop challenging them. However, data from The Leadership Challenge, Seventh Edition finds……the more frequently leaders “challenge people to try out new and innovative ways to do their work,” the more strongly their direct reports agree that they are committed to the organization’s success and feel personally productive. -p. 143

For those who have moved from one home to another, I don’t need to tell you the exhaustion that causes! All I can say is, thank goodness for our friends and family members who stepped up to help.While we are not totally settled into our new home, I am ready to start getting back to a regular routine.
