Emotional Labor
Sometimes it’s not the amount of tasks that need to be completed. Sometimes it’s not how complicated the tasks are to be completed.

Leadership Lessons with Bill – Good, Good, Bad
As part of the employee training program I’ve developed over the last couple of years, I came up with the idea of doing a quick team-building activity with my staff on game days right after everyone arrives and before we get started with our work. We do work in sports, so I wanted these activities […]
Leadership Lessons with Bill – Back to School

Your Personal Story
Honest self-reflection is important for understanding your own existence and who you are as a person. The same principles outlined here can almost as easily be applied to a business as they can for an individual such as yourself.
