Kicking off the New Year with some thoughts on becoming a better leader.

Culture is the collective sum of attitudes, skills sets, passions, motivations all combined inside one company. As a leader, your role in driving that culture is critical.

For some strange reason, as people rise up the ladder they seem to exclude themselves from having to participate in company events. It's a contagious disease that slowly rots the core a culture at work.

There cannot be a time in your career when one day you have (and somewhat need) a boss then the very next you don't. Is it that you are somehow led as much as you are going to be led then from there on out it is up to you?

Leader as verb equates to a daily action any one of us can take. Begin it now.
