Good times! I worked at Starbucks this morning. I started at 4am.
When I got off of work my phone had a text message to call my wife.
I called her and this is how the conversation went down:
Jennifer – “Hey baby, don’t be mad, ok?”
Me – “Ok”
Jennifer – “I am selling all of our furniture.”
Me – Silence….. “umm… ok”
Jennifer – “Giggle”
Me – “You know new furniture costs more than what we will get for ours.”
Jennifer – “I have a plan, don’t worry.”
Me – “Ok, I trust you.”
Jennifer – “Ok.”
Me – “Love you”
Jennifer – “Love you”

I love my wife 100% and the trust we have built in this 7+ years of marriage is wonderful. I know she always has the best intrested of me and our family in mind. She is an amazing woman.
This is how I view leadership in organisations. There is trust and respect in the relationships that have been established. This takes time for sure but it is wonderful with you have acheived this.
I love those kind of calls. Usually it’s me calling Briggette – or not calling and just showing up w/ whatever I’ve bought. . .
That’s a cool tie in to how you release leaders to do what they do best. Even if it’s not how YOU would do it.

LOL. I’m not sure I really have a plan.
New furniture sounds good!
