Why Leaders Need Literature

When I walk through the door on Friday evening, I can usually feel a slight tingling sensation on my scalp. The speed of the work day – meetings, phone calls, emails, tweets, tasks, problems and exhilarating opportunities – is almost addictive. I can feel my heart rate slightly elevated and my words rushing through my […]

How are we to decide between the many worthy nonprofit causes that are asking for financial support?If you’re anything like Kelly (my wife) and me, you have to make this choice carefully.

And why is this so […]

Books (and Podcasts) Worth Cozying-up With This Fall

On steamy summer afternoons I long to escape my overly-air-conditioned office to relax on a sunny beach or hike a mountain trail.

Don’t Buy A One-Way Ticket to Canada Yet

True confession: It’s only May, and I’m already tired of election season. Don’t get me wrong, I worry about the societal effects shifting the balance of the Supreme Court would have and cringe at the thought of releasing Donald Trump, a leader with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, on the world stage.
