Leadership Blog

Often during this time of year I ask my clients and students what they are thankful for. The usual answers come forth…. Family, friends, health, their job (especially in this economy). I too am thankful for those things. However, as leaders I believe we are challenged with a bigger purpose. We need to see those people who are making a difference in our organizations, our families,
and our communities.

That is why this last week the Leadership Menomonee Falls class of 2012 was given a bit of homework. To go and recognize someone in their life; share how they make a difference and then ask them to share with another person. If everyone in LMF does their
homework, and all those people do their homework- we will have touched a minimum of 60 people. You would think this is easy. It is not. It is often difficult and uncomfortable. And that is exactly why as leaders we must do it. We must do it till it is no longer hard or difficult.

So, you have read the blog. Now I challenge you. Go out and share with someone how they make a difference and ask them to do the same. If you would like to share your results with me you can email me at or call me at 414 803 9538.

Happy Thanksgiving.
