April 18, 2013So with peach season right around the corner things have been picking up around the offices on East Argyle. So much to do and the thing about this business is, when that first truck arrives, it’s game on. We’ll be ready, just lots to do. B/c of that the blog posts have been a bit Continue reading →
billhamp March 14, 2013I had this book sitting on my shelf for years. People would come in and see the book. Them: “Great book!” Me: “Oh yeah!” Them: “You read it?” Me: “Oh yeah!” Truth: I hadn’t read it. I just knew that all the cool kids had. I’d looked at it. Glanced at it. Enough to make Continue reading →
billhamp February 21, 2013I love a great brand. I love a great story. I love working with really, really good people. I’ve found all of the above.

Each week I’m sharing one with you in hopes that they will help you grow and excel at leading your team. The previous 3 have been: 1) Do everything you say you’re going to do. 2) Continue reading →
billhamp September 26, 2012I was reviewing my list of my leadership core values today. The fact is I’ve always had these, however, when I was leading my team I don’t think I did as good a job as I should have regularly and intentionally articulating them.

Change in culture, personnel, whatever. It was during this conversation that I was reminded of the most crucial move you must make when implementing change. Continue reading →
billhamp September 20, 2012I’ll be vague. I was in a meeting of a group of people the other day and there was a presentation being made to the group. (is that vague enough?)
