Wag More, Bark Less

More and more, it seems as though we are dividing into camps with fortified walls that are increasingly harder and riskier to cross.

One of the biggest challenges faced by a leader is to put together a diverse team and coalesce around a common vision.

But what can we do to bring people together when there is so much focus on what makes us different?

Leadership in polarized times means being willing to pull our people together, even when the world would rather pull them apart. It’s difficult and sometimes unpleasant, but that’s the reality of what it means to lead—leaders get the hard stuff because no one else wants it. (John Maxwell)

Knowing what we believe and where we're going increases the likelihood that we will focus on what binds us together.

Values determine integrity, which extends to our thoughts, words, and actions.

A clear vision points everyone in the same direction. 

If we tirelessly wag more about what binds us together, it is likely we will embrace different perspectives and bark less about those things that divide.
