We empower organizations to solve their own problems, internally, by actually using the incredible, capable people they have already hired.

Judith Love Cohen was an American aerospace engineer who helped create the Abort-Guidance System that rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts.

When she went into labor, she went to work.

She took a printout of a problem she was working on to the hospital. She called her boss and said she finished the problem and gave birth to Jack Black

The biggest factor in why organizational change fails, involves a failure to change human habits.

Real culture change begins with thinking of priorities as a set of habits.

All leaders want high performing teams. They challenge the status quo, innovate and flat out get results.

When a culture of "the way we have always done it" has developed over time, a teams ability to identify and call out wasted effort often gets lost.

@drewglover @chris_a_russo @sposhe @SavasLabs Good times! In Toronto if you aren't rockin a big chain, you don't keep your bike long.

When in doubt, trust the process!

In any challenging endeavour it can help to focus on (trust) what you can control (the process) rather than the outcome.

The best part is the outcome often contain hidden gems.

Problems are a given and people are forever trying to solve problems. The question is, how good are you at solving them?

[Tatham Company @TathamCompany]

Sometimes it's hard to take that step back...but necessary!

Last week I got stuck wasting valuable emotional energy on something I would never be able to control. I'd like to share, with you, the following rule which put things into perspective for me as I believe it can for you.

The important moments in life are often about alignment: when you believe you know who you are and your deeds are in line with your assessment of yourself.

I love technology. From time to time I get an excellent reminder that technology is a great enabler, but not always the best first solution to a problem.

My mother joked with me yesterday by saying:

"These days when you have a problem isn't there always an app for that?"

A perfect example of why you should neither define nor dismiss people due to their age.
Like history, experience has a lot to teach and can help us with today’s challenges; even those of tomorrow.

At its root, the word “manage” comes from the Latin word manus, meaning “hand.” This is also where the word “manual" comes from. Originally, managing something meant to control it with your hands.

It's important to know when we're pushing ourselves too hard because of something called 'change fatigue'. It can show up in oneself, our team or even our organization.

Even the greats struggle sometimes to keep the bar up.

Growth and performance culture.

[Tatham Company @TathamCompany]

It's human nature to be focused on the final output of a transformation. We must be reminded that with each day small activities are progressing meaningful change even if it isn't visible in the present.

A good leader

[Tatham Company @TathamCompany]

With all the discussion around what makes a good leader, one can't ignore that old leadership and operating models are outdated and obsolete. New mindset changes require more unlearning than learning.

[Tatham Company @TathamCompany]

Great perspective.

[Tatham Company @TathamCompany]

How much effort have you expended pushing a desired outcome versus opening up to the idea that your current understanding may be the biggest limitation to your desired progress?

[Tatham Company @TathamCompany]

Constant reminder to myself. Always expecting all the answers right now when I may not be ready for them just yet.
