Don’t Ask Questions When You’ve Made Up Your Mind

belonging by Rick2 comments

If you’re at the top, decisions, ultimately, are up to you.  Even if you’re leading a committee, or asking for feedback, if you can reject or approve a decision, at the end it’s up to you.  You can go about owning the fact that you’re the end of the line […]

Catwoman’s Iconic Costume

Blog by Rick0 comments

The seams of clothing literally are what holds your garment together. Without them, your only option would be a cape-like piece of cloth you’d wrap around yourself.  You can choose to hide the seams as much as you can, or you could do things to accentuate the seams, like choosing […]

Watch What You Say, Traitor!

Blog by Rick0 comments

We often throw around words like “traitor” and “betrayal” when someone does something to betray us. We often feel like their disloyalty is upsetting.  But how often do we ask if we’re being loyal to them? Loyalty is actually a two-way street, a relationship that must be nurtured and fostered […]

Are you a jackass?

Blog by Rick0 comments

The problem with asking yourself “Am I a jackass?” is that in terms of your likeability and reputation, it doesn’t matter what the answer to the question is.  In these contexts, the only thing that matters is whether or not other people think you’re a jackass or not.

I’m Grateful For Your Contribution

Blog by Rick0 comments

Celebrate the accomplishments of others. Make your team the hero. Accept praise humbly, and don’t deflect it, but make sure you’re constantly celebrating others.  Have some downtime? Message people and let them know you appreciate what they’ve done. Thank them for their contribution.  Shout-out others in private AND in public. […]

No Life Hacks

belonging by Rick0 comments

I know, it’s all about semantics, but I really dislike the term “life hack,” even though I use it for it’s cultural shorthand utility.  You can’t “hack” life, or most things. You’re making life improvements. There are no “culture hacks” when you’re working on building teams. It’s just simple things […]

NFT hype

Blog by Rick0 comments

As a creator, you bet that I’m following the NFT “controversy” about vast environmental destruction via overwhelming energy use, the ability to steal and profit off other people’s work, as well as the money laundering bit. I’m also interested in the bit about empowering artists through profit-sharing from resales, digital […]

Success is a Chameleon

Blog by Rick0 comments

Success is interesting in that it can really be whatever it is you want it to be.  It could be having $1M in assets, your credit card debt paid off, and a family with two kids.  It could be going an hour without a sip of alcohol.  It could be […]

Rising Tides

belonging by Rick0 comments

In a general sense, I truly believe in the saying that “A rising tide floats all boats.” When looked at with a spirit of generosity, often when you make things better for everyone, you benefit as well. The only issues with this is when not everyone has boats, or the […]

Multitudes of Costs

Blog by Rick0 comments

I’m sure you’re familiar with the phrase “Everything costs something.” This is true. While it might not always cost money, it will cost something. Time. Attention. Psychological safety. Trust from others. Reputation. Health. Freedom. Other opportunities. Spending all of these things sometimes makes sense. Just be aware of what you’re […]
