A New Year note from Mike

Happy New Year!

This note was originally written and sent to leaders who we’ve worked with over the past couple years. After writing it, it seems appropriate for anyone who might be visiting our site and leading teams.

It just turned 2008 and everything looks a little different now. It could be it’s the New Year thing. It could be a recent meeting I attended facilitated by Peter Block with an intimate group of owners of firms like Crux Move (I’ll talk about that later). Or it could be this year I’ll be 50. But I am personally, like many of my client/friends, reviewing and re-thinking my life goals. Life is full of pulls. I think it’s supposed to be. I’ve found that over the years it’s challenging to not have meaning get traded for stability, or making a real difference fall victim to the tug of financial success. Each season in our life has different pulls that are truly important. So given the wisdom we have accumulated to date what should we be paying attention to now? And how does that impact our goals? And how does that inform our leadership?
