Glad you liked the Real surprise and used it as your Vine start!
Danny,
Last year I wrote a post on kindness. I wrote it after sitting at my desk listening to conversations and attacks and rants, and it was driving me mad.
There is a rant, then there is a way of saying hey what is up here? I recently did say hey what is going on with the Girl Scouts but I came from the point of view as one who has a long history inside the org. When one rants they often never have the full picture. More and more I think, of the golden rules.
PS I know that Canadian Guru, I used to be a fan way back when. I no longer am. They have changed, or maybe we are just now seeing the real person--I compare them to Rush now--some people love a good ranter even when they dont make sense.
As for transparency, it is a critical key, and one can be while staying inside company policies etc.
For me the measurement slides rang true, too often so many have fabricated numbers, inflated them, without being able to show the ROI. The links needs to be shown.
Carol, this more then it hits home, there is something I believe strongly sometimes the best leaders are those who had a rough time, survived and faced hardship that few will endure, trust me, I know that road.
