What do you do for an encore? Pass out some money? Great achievements can become great distractions. String a bunch of once-in-a-lifetime moments together – in a short period of time – and you could almost get a pass on being productive. This morning after Hollywood’s television community passed around their Emmy trophies, most of […]

Will Millennials “Get it?”
“I know stuff Millennials don’t know. I do stuff Millennials don’t do. I do it because I see things differently than Millennials, and it’s my job to help other people know what I know, do what I do, and think the way I think…” Those are Paul’s thoughts, summarizing his written comments to the believers […]

Relay winners know how to pass the baton to a thirty years old
What happens when people turn 30 (thirty)? “Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt.” (Genesis 41:46). “David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.” (2 Samuel 5:4). “Now Jesus himself […]

Dealing with the deluge…rainfall
“On that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights…” (Genesis 7:11-12) That’s the way it feels today in south Texas. Folks in/around Houston are dealing with epic weather conditions. Records abound: rivers cresting […]

Racing to Darkness; It’s No Metaphor for the Eclipse
This is the day we’ve all been waiting for…an eclipse. If your workforce punches a clock – with the assurance that they’re being productive while they’re on-the-job – this may turn out to be a low impact day for you. Wherever you are (if you’re reading this within the continental United States), TES (Total Eclipse […]

The Red Carpet doesn’t lead to the Pearly Gates
Life. Ballgames. Picnics. Beach parties. Movies. “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…” The “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer” are running down; there’s not much time left to do nothing. What are you doing with the last of your off days? Hollywood rolls out some of their best stuff during summer; some of them catch […]

Succession Plan…What’s next, for you?
Could someone say, “succession plan?” Put yourself in his place. You’ve grown up in the family business, and everyone has known – for years – that you would someday take the lead at succession. Your father – a nice guy – announces his retirement, in public (so there’s no turning back). He’s 96… Finally, the […]

Are you the real deal with leadership?
Texans call it “all hat, and no cattle,” when referring to an unsubstantiated claim of leadership. It’s colorful; it’s descriptive, and it’s going on, constantly. You know it when you see it: someone claims to be something that their performance does not confirm. Their rhetoric isn’t matched by their results; their claims fall short of […]

Cancel the party – no plans to retire
“Are you going to retire?” We’re such a literate society that there are people who are working to master the art of reading between the lines. Some of them are recipients of my Point of View; they replied to last week’s edition with that question: was I announcing my retirement? No! My retirement will be […]

Is it time to pull the plug and create?
If it didn’t exist, would you create it? I spent the first half of my adult life trying to come up with the right answers. I’ve spent the second half trying to find the right questions. That’s one of the best questions I know to ask… I have a good friend – and, Master’s graduate […]
