Before solving, learn more about the problem.

Mike Shipulski

Before spending the big money, spend more time than you think reasonable to answer these three questions. Is the problem big enough?

Spoiler Alert: David Bruel (DB) talks to a new way to lead, based on understanding, before anything else. This affects the way we ‘live’ a company culture.

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

A few years ago I wrote about a life form detector that I hoped would save me from getting attacked by snakes, scorpions, bears, and all of the other wildlife that I might encounter while hiking.
