Leadership Mints Defined

A Leadership Mint is a daily quick-read, short story-like blog post that personalizes leadership principles and freshens your bottom-line thinking. Like its candy counterpart, a Leadership Mint is easily spooned, quickly digested and immediately satisfying.

  • EASILY SPOONED – Bite -sized scenarios on specific leadership behavior or lack thereof.
  • QUICKLY DIGESTED –Content-rich storytelling format engages the reader PERSONALLY.
  • IMMEDIATELY SATISFYING – Comfort food for the soul that reminds, reinforces and reassures leaders of their own leadership values.

Leadership Mints are particularly designed for busy knowledge workers like you. You don’t need a Basex 2010 study to tell you that “knowledge workers only spend 5% of the day engaged in thought and reflection.”

You already know you’d like to read more, think more, reflect more than 5% of your day.

Savor a Leadership Mint for a few minutes every day and extend your 5% thinking time. Consider sharing your Leadership Mints at your next staff meeting as a time-saving learning and leading professional development tool. At any rate, you can expect a new Leadership Mint served every business day to help you keep your leadership thinking in mint condition. I look forward to your comments, thoughts and reflections.
