Have you ever known someone who was very successful at their job, but was impossible to work with? Someone who would be fired if it wasn’t for their production? That person thinks they’re leading with their personal accomplishments, and those around them will just have to tolerate their behavior (and rationalize it as a cost …
Diligence – steady, earnest, and energetic effort: devoted and painstaking work and application to accomplish an undertaking: ex. Alexandre Havard sparked my diligent pursuit of learning to execute mission better. You have to do the (uncommon) diligence to get to the true value proposition of something or someone. The true core value of something like …
What was the name of the last person you met, who just bugged you without even trying? Would you like to know why that happens? The answer is found in the Four Temperaments, which come from the ancient Greeks, particularly to the work of Hippocrates and later Galen, who linked them to physical and mental characteristics.

You wouldn’t believe the absurdity. Not too long ago, I was in a ballroom full of people, who were all there to practice creating solutions to ethical problems, using a case study.
