One of the hardest lessons I’ve tried to learn: staying silent when surrounded by fools—especially when I had a lot to say. Still not sure I ever mastered it.

As a leader your culture is defined by you and it is created by the essence of you.

24 years ago… I was in my high school office, speaking with a student’s mother about her child. She screamed, “A plane just hit the Twin Towers.” I will never forget!

With the intense heat and humidity moving in this weekend it's a great opportunity to remind folks to not leave the kids or pets in the car even for a few minutes. At 95º, the interior of a car can reach 114º in just 10 minutes... 138º after about an hour. @DavidKarnes3
