Leadership lessons learned : best ideas from all the books, Ivy leagues and 25 yrs of leading people. Still learning.

Wi-Fi businesses solo on the beach = awesome but most of us still lead nonprofits, family, sports teams and businesses.

@BowTiedBroke This stage is immediately preceded by 40 min hot showers. Tankless heaters are key equipment to survive this phase.

@bowtiedfarmer @BowTiedLowrider Wore out that weedwacka. I could play it like a six string.

@BowtiedQueenBee I used a sophisticated app to track health for a year. Learned quickly - one or two drinks at night (promise!) messed up sleep for one or two nights. Really backed down once I saw it.

@BowTiedBull Thoughts on the Basel III meeting and gold standard rumors swirling ?

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

@BowTiedDaddy Hit farmers market this weekend. Spent an hour talking with three folks. One felt genuine. Bought 1/4. Amazing burgers. Will work on the rest and then buy 1/2. He delivers.

Family owned. Said - richest family in town ($B) uses his filets for all events.

Good stuff.

Part of me pauses to ask - am I naive and taking a values based approach but NGMI? Art of the game requires hurting your own brother?

Or

Stick to my guns?

Appreciate your thoughts.

game of thrones in real life: A $B client plotted to push out family member to set the next generation up. Past month it unfolded.

As the $ grows, ethics get in the way.

I won’t be consulting them further - found a reason to transition out. Do it to family = do it to anyone.

@BowTiedBroke @TheRealMrsBroke @BowTiedBull Some areas around Detroit are good spots to live. Long view- it will come back again. Automakers have massive stimmy. Hope Mrs Broke keeps some prpty there.

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

@BowTiedDaddy Wow. Earlier than Jocko!

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

@BowTiedBroke Mentor - top position fortune 10 company believed everyone should brush off the resume and look at the market every 5 yrs. Good for the individual to reassess themselves and good for the company to have friends around (if they left). Amazing leader. Not sure many like that.

CEO musts:

1. Decision making
2. Bounce back and stamina
3. People skills
4. Comfort with risks
5. Strategery

Don’t have to be A+ in them all, but an F in one will hurt.

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

@BowTiedBroke Dude, your lats make @BowTiedOx look small

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

@BowTiedFord Great post

Must. Pay. More. Key to stop the continued loss.

Glorify the field. COs have to treat tradesmen better.

We gave shirts, hats and backpacks to some recently. They said they got more on one job than in 5 yrs.

Wasn’t the schwag, but showing appreciation.

@BowTiedKong @BowTiedBroke Amen!

@BowTiedBroke And hear some justify their residency program vs the exec MBAs.

Some great programs out there but I preferred to hire someone from the school of hard knocks

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

@BowTiedBroke Couldn’t be more true. We used to hire MBAs from residency as management consultants and hear them brag. Took us 2-3 yrs to teach them about the real world.

Even worse we’re arguments across the team (much time on the road together when not with clients out of town)

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

They did their best.

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

Too many people make a key mistake when studying other leaders

Rather than identify the good and bad and learn, our brains work differently.

[Bowtiedhyena @Bowtiedpride]

Just used for the wrong intentions

I took away - humans have faults. Don’t put your favorite President or Coach on a pedestal

Also helped see that the limitations we all have were a challenge to them too.

Despite that, when history called on them
