Are you emotionally intelligent?
My friend Bryan McMurry wrote the following as part of a series of messages for Cargill Animal Nutrition’s Green Book, which contains their principles of how to manage their business. I thought it was something all of us could benefit from so I asked if I could share it with my readers.

So much so that I decided to make it a tradition and share it with our subscribers each Christmas.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Purposeful 2012. We called him “Doc” – Doc Lunsford. I never knew how he came by the nickname… Read More

As part of the program we spent the day at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio listening to U.S. Army officers describing “Military Leadership.” One of the officers described leadership as “Protection, Projection, and PURPOSE.” I was thrilled to hear someone talk about purpose as it relates to leadership. The points he made were very much in line with those that I have heard you present… Read More
