In 2025, Exit The Path Towards Hypocrisy!
We have all heard and even agreed with the talks describing what should be when facing challenges. However, for some, they agree on what things should be. Unfortunately, their actions define them as hypocrites.
Consider these examples and plan to make 2025 the year to defeat the comfortable lure of appeasement.
We agree it takes hard work to become successful, but we accept meaningless gratuitous accolades as rewards for basic work.
We agree with the importance of truth but find more comfort in ignoring what we know is true.
We agree that our business must be disruptive, but we can’t disrupt ourselves.
We agree we must be willing to get uncomfortable, but we surround ourselves with what’s comfortable.
We agree with the warnings and dangers of the charlatans but welcome them to cure our insecurities.
We agree that conflict is necessary in overcoming dysfunction but, avoid needed conflict through delusional passiveness.
We agree on the need to diversify from our core competencies but fall back to what we know.
.
So, my friends avoid distractions when your commonsense is demanding attention. Don’t fall into those insecurity traps on your 2025 path toward continuous relevance.
Remember, Insecurity will cause one to double down on comfort; and overcoming insecurities is uncomfortable.
In this new year - avoid the temptation to lead yourself or others based on a happiness compass. Those who do will be defined not as leaders but followers of comfort.
In closing, those looking forward to 2025’s path toward continuous relevance must understand that the journey only starts when you’re comfortable being uncomfortable. So, don’t waste too much of the year waiting to get uncomfortable.

Is Your CEO Sharing the Realities of the Organization's Journey Towards Its Dream?
All investments are a risk! However, when a CEO willingly promotes phantom shares or other potentially valuable promises to the rank and file—especially instead of any type of monetary compensation —while knowing the company is not financially performing, I would classify that as a disingenuous and unrealistic CEO. Another description could be a fraud or charlatan.
Through The Eyes of The Soldier
It's the soldier's cries, torment, or required actions for what became their temporary survival that the fallen soldier spirit hopes those honoring will never have to visualize in the remembrance of their spirit.
A Big Swift Kick in The Ass!
Only through the wisdom of the older generations can the younger generations be taught the importance of discipline. As wisdom teaches, no one being disciplined will ever see the niceness in its moment.
