What is Causing Social Divisiveness and Animosity?

After providing active shooter training at a nearby university and nation-wide realty company, one of the participants asked my opinion about where all of the hate is coming from that leads to these types of events. I gave her my answer which was that it is more of a cyclical development of factors, rather than just hate. Hate is a very strong word, and although there may be some hate involved, I feel it is much more common than pure hate. The shootings stem from a variety

Leadership Lessons from A Little League Team

Leadership lessons can be learned almost anywhere, even while walking on a treadmill, listening to rock-n-roll and watching a little league game on T.V. Walking on the treadmill at my gym, I was listening to music (yes, rock-n-roll), and ignoring the TV about three feet in front of me. At one point in my walk, I looked up at the T.V. and realized that the baseball game that was on was the Western Regional finals for the Little League World Series being shown on ESPN. The g

Technology: A Choice for Humans

Life is an amazing teacher. It taught me a lesson in a 2-hour wait in an airport about how we can use technology to enhance the human senses and experience or use technology in a way that it becomes a barrier to the human senses and experience. Flying back from a cross-country driving trip found me sitting in the Southwest Airlines terminal in San Diego, CA. As usual, the place was crowded with people of all types, races, ethnicities, shapes, sizes, complexions, disabilitie

Transform Inspiration into Behavior!

Can your supervisors transform their leadership inspiration into behaviors? In my CMF Leadership Consulting’s Leadership Effectiveness seminars, I ask the age-old question: What’s the difference between managing and leading? I always get some close responses and then someone may quote General Schwarzkopf with, “You manage things, you lead people.” I usually also get the answer of, “Leadership is inspiring people to do what you want them to do,” or something similar. Of cou

Is the Media, and Social Media, Causing Unnecessary Fear?

When I was a kid in the 1960’s I remember seeing a sci-fi movie, The Fly. In the movie, a scientist invents a machine to transport matter, and decides to test it on himself. But when a fly gets inside the machine with him, his experiment takes a scary turn when the man and the fly mutate together. In another movie, The Wasp Woman, the owner of a cosmetics company turns to science to revive her failing business and when she's injected with a youth serum derived from queen wa

If It Was Your Emergency, How Would You Want to Be Judged?

The Current Problem Early in my law enforcement career, I was taught the phrase, “Better to be judged by twelve, then carried by six,” referring to surviving dangerous situations that law enforcement officers find themselves in, although it may become a legal battle later, at least your alive to fight the battle. But law enforcement today, and almost every other profession isn’t just judged by 12…they are judged by millions of people, very quickly, and frequently based on su

“Overqualified” Just Doesn’t Make Sense!

Over the last 3 years one of my clients has applied for more than 40 specific positions to which I felt he was more than qualified to do, and he was rejected (most of the time with a polite letter or e-mail), with some of the employers saying that he was “overqualified.” This is one of those things that just never has made sense to me. It’s kind of like telling someone that they make “too much money.” How is that possible? When I hear this kind of statement it makes me as

Don't Just Tell Them To Stop...

Scenario - You are observing a classroom of kindergarten students and see "Little Johnnie" coloring on the wall by the window. The teacher goes over and tells "Little Johnnie" to, "Stop coloring on the walls," but then doesn't give any direction after that. So, a few minutes later, "Little Johnnie" is now coloring on the door. The teacher again tells "Little Johnnie" to stop, saying, "Little Johnnie" I told you to stop coloring on the walls, and now you're coloring on the

Leadership Practices Are Perishable Skills

People and organizations are always talking about learning leadership principles, and leadership practices. But what many leaders within those organizations forget is that leadership is a combination of many individual skills, and like many skills, if not used or practiced, then it has the potential to be lost or used improperly. Leadership as a practice, is a perishable skill that trainers, supervisors, managers, CEO's, and others must continually work with to continue to

If You Don't Use It...You Lose It!

When was the last time you had to do algebra, geometry, or statistics? Did you remember all the little steps? When was the last time you had to write a book report, or resume, or formal letter? Did you remember how to format it correctly? If you don't use your computer e-mail page or web browser page, don't you have to "refresh" it to get it current? Don't feel bad, we tend to forget some of the things we don't use. I used to be pretty good at juggling, but when my son a
