  1. “The most powerful leadership doesn’t tell people what to think. It changes how they think.” — JD Meier

  2. The seasons of harvest. It is a reminder of how persevering in the off season is worth it.

  3. Personal reflection. Even a few short minutes a day.

Quality looks different depending on where you stand.

A strategy team may see alignment.
A front-line team may see friction.

Both may be right.

This carousel walks through four lenses I use to assess quality more completely:

• Hang Glider
• Balcony
• Mosh Pit
• Orchestral Chamber

The goal is not to pick one lens.
The goal is to rotate lenses on purpose.

Which viewpoint am I missing right now?

  1. When you can sit with a friend and just learn from each other

  2. When patience is the prevailing attitude in a hectic situation.

  3. When a whole day gets disrupted by things out of your control and you now get advanced knowledge of issues to mitigate.

  1. Devotional included a short video on the Power of Words! Especially the ones that you talk to yourself about.

  2. Finding wise people for counsel can be challenging. But seeking wisdom is eventually rewarded.

  3. Standing up for the people that need the resources to advocate for themselves. Better yet provide the resources with coaching and empowerment.

  1. Mechanical Keyboards - I would even say manual typewriters for those people that used them. However the whiteout and the ribbons were a pain.

  2. Beauty even in the dark. There was a large moon tonight that was amazing to see when I got up.

  3. When work gets "done, done, done" and congratulatory emails that I never respond to flow.

  1. Reading one of my favorite books in the Bible this week in the Message version.

  2. I like this outlet of three good things to remind me to be #grateful.

  3. Knowing my identity is not in a job, money, things. If I lost them all I can still be content.

  1. Being quick to listen. When I do, it keeps me humble because I realize I might have said the wrong thing.

  2. Spending an hour long drive in conversation. No headphones or other media involved.

  3. I got a chance to just think and reflect. No agenda.

Here is an individual, leadership, and teamwork framework I have developed.

This is a representation of many years of leading myself, teams, and being led.

Now I will be sharing across a wide spectrum of industries how to use this as a tool. First audience, software developers.

The more I use AI models to accomplish repetitive work, the more I see my productivity will be #powershell or #python "batch" files.

1. Setting a boundary on reading people's posts. The boundary is, when you find something that is thought provoking, think about it and quit scrolling.

2. When I see a list of positive reflection notes over "improvements"

3. The satisfaction of building in a sustainable mindset. Not everything is urgent, important, or worthwhile.

  1. Making a pineapple upside down cake for a church picnic. The good part is I had left over batter to make my own personal one.

  2. 15 minutes a day to explore something new.

  3. Building the capacity by delegating work to others. Best part, growing in trust, but I am still verifying as prudent.

  1. Love is an action, where the only limit is one that is self imposed. Continue giving generously.

  2. The screaming of young adults playing video games for 5 hours. And the smiles on their faces afterwards.

  3. Waking up to a new day of possibilities. It's like a choose your own adventure story

  1. Being a peacemaker instead of a peacekeeper, but both have merit.

  2. Being kind over being nice. Nice has long term harm without a healing mindset.

  3. Always be truthful. But know that there are times when the truth doesn't have to be said. This is a form of grace.
