One of my favorite quotes is from the introduction of Patrick Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team : "If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time." I didn't fully understand or appreciate that saying until my daughters started rowing in high school. Just like rowing, for an organization to be successful, it takes hard work, teamwork, and communication.

I just finished reading Robert Iger's The Ride of a Lifetime that shares his career's story of rising through ABC and eventually becoming the CEO of Disney. It's a chronological overview of his 22 years at ABC and 23 years at Disney, with the last 14 being CEO of Disney and provides great leadership principles. 

I spent the past week with my 12-year-old son, Isaac, and my 6-year-old daughter, Haley, traveling to the highest point in 7 states. While it was fun checking the highpoints off our list, the journey was the most memorable. 

 LAST UPDATED: 10/18/2020   Five nights, seven state highpoints, and 1,679.7 miles.  Isaac, Haley, and I took a road trip from Monday, Oct 12 to Saturday, Oct 17, 2020.   This page highlights our trip and is our digital scrapbook.
