Ode to the Misquoted and Misattributed

Over the past few months, it seems that every time I look up a famous quote online, I find posts that provide evidence that the person either never said it or that it came from someone else. For example, Aristotle never wrote the precise phrase, “The whole is greater than...

Teamwork Wins by a Mile

In April, I wrote a piece titled Go Team!, which covered Eliud Kipchoge’s quest to break the two-hour barrier for running a marathon and the team that helped him as part of the INEOS 1:59 Challenge. Finishing at a blistering 1:59:40, Kipchoge achieved the goal and challenged us all to...

Purpose, Preparation, and Play

The Heart of Napoleon

To be clear, I’m not referring to the military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution. Instead, I am writing about a company based in Barrie, Ontario, whose 2,300 employees work to enhance everyday living for people in 69 countries across the globe.    At the end...

The 1-2-3 of Psychological Safety

I begin the workshop portion of my half-day Peernovation program by asking: What does it take to be a valuable contributor to your team? Not just any team, your team. I ask the question that way for a reason, as I want everyone to feel a sense of ownership from...

Unite and Conquer

The phrase divide and conquer, often attributed to Julius Caesar, speaks to dividing the enemy to make it easier to defeat. When it involves building psychological safety among group and team members, however, it’s best to come together.  For a deep dive into psychological safety, you’ll want to check out...

Amor Leadership

During a recent business trip, I spoke at a retreat for two Vistage groups in Medora, North Dakota. It's not only a beautiful and historically rich part of the state but also about a 30-minute drive to Wibaux, Montana. This proximity was significant for me because, until the other day,...
