Tunes Tuesday – Pat Benatar – Love Is A Battlefield

This classic rock anthem from the 1980’s is about female empowerment and great dancing. Love is a battlefield among other things.

Jeff Goldblum had one of the best lines in that classic dinosaur tale. Take a lesson from Jurassic Park as well as other things in this world that should have had a little extra thought behind them. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. Take caution when deciding what is best. Think twice, do once. Have discernment, be wise.

Leadership And Listening

This sign is posted in one of the elevators at my work. Listening is an important part of leading people. You have to be able to take information from those who you work with, process it and then take action based upon their experiences. At work I am a team leader and I make it a rule to listen to others and to create solutions based upon what they have to say. Buy-in from those who work with and for you is important.
