Don’t Miss The Summit!
You’ll not regret attending a local broadcast of this year’s Leadership Summit from Willow Creek in South Barrington, Illinois. Each year brings a memorable focus on your leadership skills, unique encouragement from business leaders, and stories guaranteed to inspire.
Participating in this event can change the course of your life, your work, your ministry, and your family.
“I think the role of leaders at this time in history is to be curators of human talent. They need to learn how to cultivate, how to identify, how to nurture, how to develop and unleash the God-given potential in every person.”

Guy Kawasaki’s New Book
One of my heros, Guy Kawasaki, has just released his new book, Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions. This is his first book in quite a while… it sounds worth the wait.
Enchantment explains how to create delightful, voluntary, and mutually-beneficial relationships with people. The book is great for organizations that are introducing products, closing sales, and establishing brands.
Guy is the co-founder of Alltop.com, an “online magazine rack” of popular topics on the web. He was the chief evangelist of Apple Computer. Kawasaki is the author of ten books including Reality Check, The Art of the Start, Rules for Revolutionaries, How to Drive Your Competition Crazy, and The Macintosh Way.
Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions is available here.
Breaking Down Barriers
We create barriers to being effective, to delivering, to selling… and to a lot of other things. We build them internally and we maintain them locally. We create them with the best of intentions… but when they’re no longer relevant, they’re profoundly harmful.
Removing barriers takes some courage and real commitment at all levels of an organization. The short-term pain is offset by a faster and better organization. It’s the basis for creating employee engagement.
The current Gallup Management Journal addresses barriers in an article by Tom Rieger from his new book Breaking the Fear Barrier, Gallup Press (later this year).
