18 years leading people. For new managers and people leading former peers: hard conversations, clear standards, and daily leadership decisions.

Perhaps those who approve the verbiage on the ballots should rethink how they are done. It makes these horrific amendments sound like something good for MO... I saw more signs FOR AM6 than I did against.... perhaps the GOP should have spent more money creating awareness... Blaming the population for not being able to decipher legalize on a ballot is poor form.

The GOP of MO must do better, fight harder, and beat the communists at their own game.

@Zangling8386 People have a tendency to take kindness for weakness, as long as you have boundaries and standards that you hold firm with, dont allow people to walk over you they won't... that doesnt mean they will not try.
There is too little kindness for kindness sake in todays world.

Stay humble never forget where you came from

Some nights you'll lie awake
replaying things you can't change.
The words you should've said.
The person you should've left.
The chance you should've taken.
Here's the truth: you were doing your best with the version of you that existed then.
Forgive that person. They didn't know what you know now. 🤍

One rule I’ve tried to follow as a leader: never ask someone to do something you wouldn’t do yourself. Be willing to step in alongside your team. No task should be beneath you.

Your faith isn't only what you say you believe. It also belongs in the choices you make when nobody would know the difference.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

You say you want to “get better,” but…

You don’t want to sacrifice comfort.
You don’t want to put in more time.
You don’t want to change how you operate.
You don’t want accountability.

Most people love the idea of getting better.
The best actually put in the work.

@Bit179344625994 absolutely, perception is reality before you even open your mouth, so look sharp and act the part you want.

[Ben Ryan @OwnTheStandard]

Your work doesn't speak for itself as much as you think. How you show up in the room counts too.
Owning your growth means asking for the feedback nobody volunteers, and hearing it without defending yourself.

Your communication style, executive presence, or relationships could be holding back your career. https://t.co/EgWZ5evo8F

@HarvardBiz Most people never get this feedback because nobody wants the awkward conversation. You have to go ask for it, and make it safe to answer.

Daily Debrief | November 11, 2026

Your first thought may be a reasonable explanation. It may also be an assumption that arrived before you had much information. Feeling strongly about it doesn't settle which one it is.

That's why this morning's statement was about checking the thought before acting on it. Give yourself a moment to ask, "I'm making an assumption here. What do I actually know?" Look for what supports it and what might show you've read it wrong.

Which thought deserves a second look before you let it guide your next decision?

Your team will never hold the standard higher than you hold it on your worst day.

What helps most when your first reaction might be wrong?

A low black sports car sliding through an empty intersection at night, tires fighting for grip as streetlights blur past. Raw, loud, and perfectly controlled. 🔥

[Ben Ryan @OwnTheStandard]

You don't have to accept the first thought your mind gives you. Leading yourself includes checking whether it's true before you act on it.

[Jack wrld⚡ @Jack_Xperience]

People don't always remember what you said, but they remember how you made them feel.

That's why emotional intelligence is just as important as intelligence itself.

You can win an argument and still lose a person.

Learn to understand people, not just outsmart them. ⚡

A big choice in life is accomplishment versus savoring life.

Savoring life is taking a moment to smell the roses, enjoying a beautiful day, and making sure you have time with the people you love. Then there's the other side, which is accomplishment and impact.

You have to discover for yourself where you are and how you deal with those choices. The key, and the most effective path, is where they align—when you can make your work and your passion one and the same.
