Well, she’s done it again. Our generous friend and colleague, Margaret (Meg) Wheatley kicked off this year’s Chair Academy Conference in Phoenix. The beginning of her message remains dark, but the light at the end is a little clearer and brighter these days. We found her even more inspirational than in the past. She gave us a lot to think about.

Meg started by reminding us that we are all leaders, whether we know it or not. We influence the people around us either consciously or unconsciously. We might as well be purposeful about it. She suggested we might spend a little more time thinking together. The business of the world seems to conspire against thinking, and the not-so-good results seem to abound all over the world.
