How Leaders Help

August 30, 2019 by Steve Laswell

 Who needs help?

Frankly, it’s been a “season” of life for me. A lot of “Life happens” stuff has happened. I’ll spare you the details. I know “everybody has a Story” and the point is not to compare notes, the purpose is to acknowledge the reality of life. The Journey includes disruption, resistance, opposition, distractions, setbacks, and breakthroughs. The uncertainty of the world affects our lives, work, families, and…

    The Three Creations of Leadership

    April 12, 2019 by Steve Laswell

    It’s easy to become so well-adjusted to the culture that we fit into it without even thinking. Sixty-years ago, a leisurely lifestyle indicated someone’s success. Now, there is a subtle shift toward busyness. 

    “How are you?” has become a casual greeting and superficial question. What’s the “correct” answer? I’m so…? Busy. Everyday people shine their busy badges and pin them on like a name tag. But why?

    In the Harvard…

    August 30, 2018 by Steve Laswell

    “Steve, your phone is ringing,” I heard Rita say jolting me awake. A quick glance at the clock was not reassuring.

    “Son, your mother fell, I need your help,” Dad spoke quietly. It was 1:05 AM.

    We headed across town to the retirement village where my parents have an “independent living” apartment. It was an easy drive except for the flood of questions that hit me.

    November 10, 2016 by Steve Laswell

    On July 29, 2016, the BBC News headline declared, “US election 2016: Six reasons it will make history.”  Roland Hughes highlighted:

  • the experience and lack of government service,
  • the possibility of the first female president, and
  • the equivalent of a third term for the Democratic party.

    What Has You Moving? 

    March 31, 2016 by Steve Laswell

    “What do you want?” I asked.

    Robert needed to make a decision. It would impact his future and that of the team. The question, “What do you want?”  is simple, but the answer takes work.

    Mixed motives hindered Robert’s ability to make a decision. He needed to create space to think.

    What’s behind the curtain?

    A motive is a reason for doing something. The word…
