Summer musings…
I hope your summer is off to a good start, and that you have time to enjoy family and the GREAT outdoors.
This month’s blog will be brief, and hopefully helpful.
A client recently shared a piece on compassion in the workplace. It’s a 5-minute video containing an interview with Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn. Here’s the link:
Weiner talks about the importance of INSPIRATION as a leader. He says leaders who inspire have:
- Clarity of VISION
- COURAGE of CONVICTIONS
- The ability to effectively COMMUNICATE
I think and believe you’ll find his comments helpful!
Secondly, my wife and I were driving home last week and John Mayer’s song, “Say,” came on. IFFamily Business Counsel had a theme song, this might be it. Here are the lyrics, listen to it when you have the chance.
Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations
Say what you need to say (x8)
Walking like a one-man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only
Say what you need to say(x8)
Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say
You’ll be glad you did. JAnd, don’t forget to enjoy your summer!
