The Code: Insights from the Front Lines of Leadership

The Latin phrase age quod agis loosely translates, “Work hard at what you do well.” We’ve all been told at some time or another we should work on our opportunities for improvement. While it’s important to minimize behaviors which may not serve us well, leaders know their strengths and work to enhance them. The great philosopher Dolly Parton put it another way: “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.” ─ Deb Miller ─ Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc.

Helen Keller (1880-1968) sums up the importance of attitude: “No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed unchartered land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.” A pessimist constantly avoids responsibility and therefore makes life unpleasant for the rest of the team. ─ Christy Beem ─ Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc.

Leaders know the problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. Problem solving is not merely normal. Problem solving refines a team’s competence and confidence. ─ Ken Chapman ─ Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc.

My hometown is a place where all four seasons are enjoyed. Temperatures are beginning to drop, the Friday night football game can be heard clearly from my back porch, and leaves are beginning to fall around my house. As the seasons change, it reminds me change should be embraced. Change is the place where new ideas begin, process improvements occur and teams grow. Effective leaders embrace the opportunity change presents. ─ Christy Beem ─ Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc.

Leaders know personal development is not just about learning new things. It is also about forgetting some things which are best forgotten. In other words: There’s no future in the past. ─ Ken Chapman, Ph.D.

Once upon a time I heard a good and decent man offer this advice: Make your life your argument. Among leaders it is a shared wisdom. Because leaders know that what I say and how I say it; and, what I do and how I do it will always be my most convincing argument. ─Ken Chapman ─ Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc.
