@PhilMackey @JuddZulgad @DexsTweets ❤️ the content boys. And to those who can't resist judging the cake before it's out of the oven, I echo speaker @JonAcuff's words: "Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle." The time to evaluate JJ will be here, it's just not now.

@jacktuttle14 Thanks for all you've given to the Wolverines, Jack. Enjoy the next chapter!

As many of us have learned, failure is often the tuition for success. But it's okay to hope you're paying community college tuition, not Harvard tuition. 😀

@FAFSA FSA ID freezes on the challenge questions page. (Multiple browsers, multiple machines.) Any idea when a fix will be deployed?

I want to be an "others-centered" leader, but I can easily fall into an autocratic style when I get stressed. Having regular 1:1s humanizes people, and has changed me, my team and our company. Here's why you should consider having 1:1s with YOUR team. https://t.co/H7mfALGONC

Skip-level meetings can either be fun and effective, or super scary! @jmichaelprobert and I chat about how you can make them a great way to learn more about your company and how it can dissolve the distance between managers and their teams. https://t.co/csmMmB0Fd7

.@BFQuinn BOTH stories on the US Amateur we’re outstanding. We’ll done, man!

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

I've been in big companies and small companies, and reorganizing has a lot more nuance when the numbers are smaller. @jmichaelprobert and I discuss some current changes at Uptick and how we're trying to handle them. https://t.co/fqmor285fV

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

I feel it bubbling up from my stomach. Defensiveness. I WANT to be teachable, but it takes everything in me to explore the constructive feedback I get, even from people who love me. I wrote about it this week. I'd love to hear from you, too. 👇 https://t.co/MLDJTRq0de

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

"How to get the most from your team" is a popular sentiment in blogs, but it doesn't sit with me well. As leaders, I think we should be under-shepherds, not overlords trying to squeeze the most from our teams. What if we focused on giving, not getting? https://t.co/3H7YImxU2s

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

I’ve been setting goals for years, but honestly, they usually weren’t thought out enough to become meaningful enough to drown out the tyranny of the urgent. @jmichaelprobert and I talk about this in our podcast. https://t.co/v1BpUmcNCg

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

We just added a new goals module to Uptick, and it got me thinking about how to create a goal that's actually meaningful. (I've created may that I forget the moment I set them!) When creating a goal, is there clarity in the why, what, when, who and how? https://t.co/H7UuNFTT7X

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

Communication 101 – it's important to communicate to others in a language THEY understand. And if you're leading people, it's even more important! @jmichaelprobert and I talk about some of our own failures in this week's podcast. Love to hear your stories! https://t.co/OBW3RFUgfk

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

Just last night I had trouble sleeping...too many things running around in my head. Sometimes as a leader I let those thoughts drown out solutions that might actually help me. @jmichaelprobert and I share more about overcoming that in this week's podcast. https://t.co/iSAwtTUIoj

@coachporter8 LOVE Atomic Habits!

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

@mijustin That is true if the only variable is making money. But if someone likes flipping burgers, then the right business is McDonald’s. Some entrepreneurs love their business and care less about a windfall.

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

@TSA I can’t believe this, (so used to pre-check), but I grabbed the wrong laptop from security. What to I do?

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

Proud of the comeback, though it fell short. Congrats to Penn State. And please leave Ronnie Bell alone...he's just a kid. #goblue

[Chris Zaugg @zaugger]

@bustedcoverage Definitely NOT a Michigan man with THAT tweet. #goblue
