http://allsquareinc.blogspot.com/2012/08/leadership-is-conversations.html
Welcome to the Vital Integrities Blog. In an old story, a newly married man visits his minister seeking advice on a problem at home. "Father, all my wife seems to want to do is talk about our relationship," he says. "Morning, noon, and night, she wants to have conversations about our relationship. It's exhausting. Please, Father, how do I convince her that we don't need so many conversations about our relationship.". My son," says the minister, "you have it all wrong. Conversations are. What do you think?

Vital Integrities Blog: Statues Are For Leaders
http://allsquareinc.blogspot.com/2012/08/statues-are-for-leaders.html
Welcome to the Vital Integrities Blog. Statues Are For Leaders. In the early morning hours of Sunday, July 22, 2012, workers at Penn State University draped a blue tarp over the statue of Joe Paterno just outside Beaver Stadium. Paterno's bronze likeness had greeted football fans entering the hallowed field since 2001. But on that morning, a forklift unceremoniously moved the monument. To an undisclosed storage space inside the stadium. If numbers in the win column were a true measurement of leadership, ...

Welcome to the Vital Integrities Blog. Failing the Integrity Test. I don't believe there are little transgressions and big transgressions. You're either going to have high integrity, or you're not.".

http://allsquareinc.blogspot.com/2007/01/leadership-lesson-from-joshua.html
Welcome to the Vital Integrities Blog. A Leadership Lesson from Joshua Chamberlain. Shortly after arriving, the mutineers elected a spokesperson to justify their insubordination to Chamberlain. Having enlisted for three-year terms of duty, the 120 men were surprised to learn that their fellow 2nd Maine soldiers had received two-year stints and were already going home. With victory seemingly out of reach, and their faith in the Union leadership diminished, they wanted to go home, too. When your own workpl...

Vital Integrities Blog: The Rule of 10
http://allsquareinc.blogspot.com/2007/02/rule-of-10.html

And if the information is misconstrued, how can we expect the message's tone to go through several levels intact? Not good people.". Posted by George Brymer on Tuesday, February 06, 2007.

Welcome to the Vital Integrities Blog. Leadership: "A process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal." Peter Northouse. As a marketer, Jobs wielded a cult-like influence. His keynote product unveilings played to standing-room-only crowds of Apple loyalists, who hung on his every word. Video downloads of his speeches often strained the Internet for days afterward. Indeed, no CEO has ever excited customers the way Jobs did. But in his own defense, Jobs claimed that...
