Be mindful in all that you think and do.

“When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.

If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Your highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.

No leader deserves unconditional love.

Commitment is earned through character.”

-Adam Grant

With the New Year upon us, many of us have embarked on the old tradition of setting New Years Resolutions. We do a little inventory on our lives and determine to change what we don’t like about ourselves, our behaviors or environment. We’ll try to ad that which is missing, or subtract that which is useless or harmful in one way or another. In general, I think this self reflection a good thing to do. But why limit it to just once a year?

Lo and behold, Santa delivered this episode directly to your device while you were sleeping! What a sneaky and jolly good fellow.
Christmas itself has changed more than my opinions about it. As I get older, and now have a child of my own, my relationship to this holiday continues to change.
