Pretty much stream of consciousness. That’s b/c they’re already inside of me. I’ve led with these as my guide for years. So, Continue reading →
billhamp October 10, 2012Welcome to Core Value Wednesday. Now listen, this is a long one. Almost 2x as long as my normal post, however, I encourage you to give this one your time.

What do you think the margin of victory, in seconds or tenths of seconds, was between first and second place? Between winning Gold and winning Silver? As we all saw, whether it was the 100 meter free or the 100 yard dash, these races Continue reading →

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.
