Performance. It’s something every business needs, yet few attain it to the level they desire. It’s a word that leaders like to preach, but don’t always teach. Webster’s Dictionary defines “performance” as: The execution of an action; The fulfillment of a claim, promise, or request; As a CEO of multiple companies, I can tell you […]
I’d like to think of the early formation of Share On Purpose as a “million-dollar education” rather than a mistake, but at the time it felt very much like a HUGE blunder. After selling a multi-million-dollar consulting business in early 2008, I decided to “invest” $500,000 in purposeful ideas with the goal of assisting entrepreneurs […]
I love the Olympics. It shines a light on an attribute that separates humankind: the champion spirit. Think about it. These are people, who at a very young age, decide they want to be a champion.

Said another way, for you to “fit” a company’s culture, you must both understand these values and their importance to culture. The reason for this is that skills can be […]
Building a performance culture starts with understanding that employees desire to GET something from your organization, as much as they want to give their best. It’s a 2-way street, just like any other relationship. The mistake most leaders make is that they focus only on their half of the relationship, expecting, and in some cases, […]
It’s no secret that showing appreciation accelerates growth. In fact, in the US we have a March holiday specifically for employee appreciation (who knew?).
