Thank you #VinScully for helping my mind always hear what myself and others should always be courageous enough to say aloud.
Thank you #VinScully for helping my mind always hear what myself and others should always be courageous enough to say aloud.
Then as now, never mistake authority for leadership.
The first rule of managing a train wreck is not to simply “recognize” you have (or are) “a train wreck” - or even “acknowledge” or “take responsibility”, but instead unequivocally declare and take full ownership of the present situation and your (organization’s) path forward.
In corporate or civil service, there is no job more difficult than prying binoculars from the hand of a leader, who insists on looking through them backward.
Just because you “have what it takes”, doesn’t mean that you are ready or able to provide precisely what the situation needs.
When briefing the media in a group or a live one-on-one, remember to keep the "inside baseball" talk to a minimum. People at home don't know what logistics or planning really is. Stick to what's going on, what's the threat, what are YOU doing about it, and what should THEY do to…
There is no such thing as a “True Leader”. Either you are, or you aren’t.
Innovative then no more leads to qualified now, than does qualified now lead to innovative then. That was then, this is now. This is now, and yes, that will be then. Live and thrive in the moment.
Great leaders obsess on their responsibility, rather than their authority.
I was deeply honored to have joined the great folks at @argonne to play a small role in supporting those who made this happen safely and effectively. flip.it/aayaHJ
There is no more impactful challenge in life than traversing the woeful chasm between should do and must do.
Beware those who believe that making something seem to disappear or hopefully be forgotten, can in any way be seen as a solution.
Pity a workforce that can’t tell the difference between checking boxes and checks and balances.
You can’t say it’s successful until you prove it sustainable.
The First Rule of Managing a Train Wreck? Admit You Have a Train Wreck.

@BrianHumphrey And if the state is forcing you to use that language - use the “instructions” field and the web link to explain that it means the threat has passed and the “order” is no longer in effect. Common English translates best :)

As Norway is blanketed by heavy snowfall, Red Cross volunteers responded to more than 200 emergency calls this week. @rodekorsnorge teams are transporting patients and healthcare workers, delivering food and medicine, and rescuing people trapped in the snow.
It's 10:30 and I just want to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off to distract me from the work I have to do and the grey skies. Would that be wrong?
@BrianHumphrey 1) My age (people always think I'm a lot younger than I am) 2) I can't stand sushi
Nothing like juggling running chainsaws, keeping 20 plates spinning, and doing CPR with the other hand. Sometimes it pays to setup away from the scene, anticipating the worst.
Sounds like a bad day to be an EM to move a dispatch center and a full EOC. Yikes.
@brianstatus Have a quiet night - you and @LAFD
@BrianHumphrey I agree Brian, In our family we were taught you suffer the consequences of your actions. So before doing something you might regret , think about it! Very little accountability these days.
Realized my primary role as a father is being the Morgan Freeman voice in The Boy's head until he casts his own voiceover actor.
@BrianHumphrey @MetrolinkVC @BrianHumphrey Thank you, Mr. Humphrey. We truly appreciate your warm and kind sentiments. ^AR
@BrianHumphrey Thanks for sharing that. Good to hear from the people who have to live these issues, not just spout about them.
This is my truth right here
Failure is not proposing something that might not work. Failure is belittling that person who had the courage to share a perceived solution. Know where failure lives and abolish it.
And you're a good example of a good leader. Thanks for sharing your insights and your world, stay safe
There is no such thing as a “true leader”. Leadership is not conditional. Either you are or you are not.
@BrianHumphrey Beyond my means also. I couldn’t have helped, even if we wanted to go in 50/50.
