As a proud member of the Tugboat Institute and a dedicated advocate for the Evergreen movement, I am thrilled to share the publication of "Another Way: Building Companies That Last" by Dave Whorton and Bo Burlingham.

Dave eloquently captures the essence of Evergreen principles—purpose, people-first, and perseverance—by weaving together invaluable insights, captivating stories, and practical wisdom from leaders who have embraced this transformative approach to building businesses. For CEOs like myself, who believe in sustainable growth, enduring values, and long-term thinking, *Another Way* serves as both a roadmap and a source of affirmation.

What truly sets this book apart is Dave’s ability to not only articulate the “why” behind Evergreen companies but also delve deep into the “how.” Whether you're navigating generational succession, fostering a people-first culture, or balancing profitability with purpose, this book provides the essential guidance and encouragement needed to stay the course.

It's incredibly encouraging to see universities and business schools engaging with the Tugboat Institute to introduce this model into the classroom. I wouldn't be surprised to see "Another Way" become a key part of several business curricula. For leaders committed to building companies that endure and thrive—not just for today, but for decades to come—"Another Way" is a powerful reminder that pursuing values-driven leadership and financial sustainability isn’t just possible; it’s necessary.

I genuinely believe "Another Way" will inspire and equip you to lead with intention and resilience. Check it out, and let’s continue to grow the Evergreen movement together!

🌟 Lead with Purpose: 8 Principles to Transform Your Leadership Journey

This post is based on "Principle-Centered Leadership" by Stephen R. Covey, a groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to lead effectively.

Principle-centered leadership is about anchoring your leadership in universal principles—like fairness, integrity, service, and human dignity—that create trust, foster collaboration, and inspire excellence.

✨ Here’s what principle-centered leaders do differently:
1️⃣ Never stop learning: They embrace growth as a lifelong journey by consistently seeking knowledge and new experiences. Learning keeps them adaptable, innovative, and ready to navigate challenges.

2️⃣ Serve with purpose: Leadership is more than a job—it’s a mission. Principle-centered leaders view their role as a responsibility to uplift and empower others, prioritizing service over personal gain.

3️⃣ Radiate positivity: These leaders cultivate an optimistic and energetic mindset. Their positivity inspires teams, boosts morale, and fosters a productive and welcoming environment.

4️⃣ Believe in others: They see and nurture the potential in every individual, empowering their team members with trust and encouragement to achieve their best.

5️⃣ Maintain balance: Harmony between work, relationships, and personal well-being is vital. Balanced leaders model stability, creating a culture that values mental health and sustainable success.

6️⃣ Embrace challenges: They see life as an adventure, meeting uncertainty and change with enthusiasm. This mindset fuels creativity, resilience, and growth.

7️⃣ Foster synergy: Collaboration is at the heart of their leadership. By valuing diversity and encouraging teamwork, they unlock the power of collective intelligence to achieve extraordinary results.

8️⃣ Renew constantly: They prioritize self-care and renewal in all dimensions—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—ensuring sustained effectiveness and personal growth.

🌱 Principle-centered leadership transforms not only leaders but also the people and organizations they influence. It creates a ripple effect of trust, growth, and excellence.

"The transitions in life's second half offer a special kind of opportunity to break with the social conditioning that has carried us successfully this far and to do something really new and different."

[More Than a Company @MTAC_Scheese]

"The transition from being motivated by the chance to demonstrate competence to being motivated by the chance to find personal meaning in the work and its results. It is the shift from the question of how to the question of why."

[More Than a Company @MTAC_Scheese]

"The needed transformation, it seems, takes place in an in-between state or outside the margin of ordinary life. Things end, then you spend a time (or time out) in the neutral zone, and then things begin anew."
