Path to Greatness

The Path from Mediocrity to Greatness By Reggie McNeal

Make 2025 A Journey to Greatness There is a path we travel that moves us from mediocrity to greatness. “Deliberate mediocrity is a sin.”  I can still recall hearing Elton Trueblood speak those opening words in the chapel at the seminary I attended over four decades ago.  Despite his quiet Quaker spirit and diminutive presence,…

Love What You Do!

To Love What You Do By Dr. Mark L. Vincent

Can an executive leader love an organization? Smarmy and pledged affection for spicy chicken sandwiches, toilet paper, or a preferred brand of coffee, which is not the definition of love in this question!
