I’m training for a marathon. As a result, I’ve added new activities to my calendar, both mentally and in writing. Each weekend, I need to fit in a long run. I typically run outdoors with my friend Laura on Saturdays. This Saturday, we braved snow cover...

I spent some time this morning with Mike Myatt’s just-released book, Hacking Leadership. As we near the end of the year and look to a new one, I find myself evaluating progress we made this year, considering lessons learned, setting goals for the new year,...
