That belief shows up in every project I take on — the design of the system, the language leaders use, and the small daily rituals that quietly determine what an organization is capable of.
I’m also a husband, a father of three boys, a first-generation American, a lifelong relationship builder, and a man who has learned that leadership theories become much more practical when someone is negotiating bedtime with a two-year-old.
