Run the Same Way Everyday

We were in the same location for 2 weeks. On day 1 we ran the road. It was great but I don’t like to go the same way every day, so on day 2 we tried a couple paths. Sadly each one got us to an impasse of deep water in less than a mile. On day 3 we went back to the road so I could get internet to send this blog post. I wanted to try some of the other paths but how would you be reading this now if I had? And day 4 - back to the road (for the internet), but now I was bored, boreder, boredest.

On day 5, still needing to go to the road for internet, we found 2 very short paths off the road so they at least added some variety. Amazingly, even that small amount of change made it not so boring.

Employees: Fog, Sun, Sunset

Same road, different times of day. This week Maddie and I did our morning runs and afternoon walks on this same road each day. But, it looked different on the foggy morning, vs the super sunny one, vs at sunset.

This got me thinking about how one staff person can be different on one day than on another - or even at different times of the same day.

Two Kinds of Employees That Stand Out

Maddie and I come around a bend in the road and there it is - the first gorgeous burgundy tree in Central Missouri this Fall......and that got me thinking.

There are two kinds of employees that stand out. The ones who are at the top of their game and are incredible assets to the organization and the ones who suck the life out of every customer, every co-worker, every staff person and every boss in the place.

What signs are you missing?

It happened to me earlier in the week but I didn’t write about it because the connection to employees didn’t seem strong enough. Now the exact same thing happened again, only from a different direction.

Why Walk the Dog on a Cold, Blustery, Icy Day?

People ask me why I walk the dog on a day like today. Ok, it’s more than ask. They stop in their cars and say “Are you crazy?!?”
