The bigger the organization, the higher probability of this being a problem. It is hard, but it must be guarded against. 

Leaders by their very nature are fixers. In conflict they love being the tiebreaker … but there is a problem.

Every single person in your organization is a moving part, and each of those moving parts is complex. They have different skills, personalities, and needs.

I considered starting a new series titled “Leadership is Hard.” But at the same time, it’s also simple, and perhaps that is what makes it hard.

What could you do if you applied the MacGyver principle to the “impossible” challenges you face in your community, your organization?

An article titled “Without These 8 things, Businesses Will Fail,” got me thinking about what those things are in senior living.

Great leaders need to be on guard for any signs that they and their organizations are even a little bit like what happened in Uvalde.

This question gives me one of those “head exploding,” “pound the ground with both fists,” “scream at the sky,” “howl at the moon” kind of headaches.

One of the biggest challenges leaders face is thinking that they don’t have any drama, but the truth is, they are the cause of all the drama. 

The more we allow these insecurities to dominate our thoughts, the less confident we become, and the more we depend on the approval of others.

The Argentum 2022 conference is history. It was the first conference produced by HPG, and they did a great job.  

If you are leading an organization that is floundering in mediocrity, you have a tremendous opportunity to turn things around.

It would be easy to make a list of risks and ventures people took that turned into dust, yet risk avoidance can be a terrible strategy.  

Believe it or not in a twisted way, if you want a better more positive organization you need to as a leader be less positive. Here is why.
