High Performance Leadership

  We are driven to extremes. We whipsaw and swing wildly when little swings will do. We fail to compromise because we're so far in one direction that we can't even hear the sounds from the other direction. We solve, and in so solving create even more problems. What if the problem is extremes? -- doug smith

Strength without respect is empty power leading to undesired side-effects. Forcing the issue with might alone is not high performance leadership, it is bluster that bruises. We can do better than that. We can be strong. We can hold fast. We can defend ourselves respectfully. And when we do, in good time, the respect flowers and grows. -- doug smith
