Bigfoot Leadership


How many of you believe that Bigfoot exists? How many of you think it is just another lame hoax or urban legend? I am here today to tell you that Bigfoot does indeed exist. He exists in each of us in the form of leadership. That’s right, I said leadership. I know you are probably saying how can a hoax generate any sense of leadership?
Today I am going to blog about Bigfoot leadership. How you can have Bigfoot leadership and become a leader people will believe in.
First of all what is Bigfoot? Some say it is a gigantic ape others say just a man in an ape suit. Do people know who you are as a leader? Are you just someone wearing a leadership suit or are you a real leader. Hopefully you are a real leader someone others can believe in and know that what you stand for they can grab a hold of. I would hope you aren’t just parading around in a leadership suit trying to pass yourself off as something you aren’t. People won’t believe in you and they will stop following you.
Second, Bigfoot is in hiding. Are you the type of leader who hides behind a desk or a closed door and refuse to interact with your people. Hopefully you are a leader you likes to be noticed but not for your own satisfaction but for the work done by those you lead. Maybe you come out from behind that door or desk and interact with your people, Don’t be a leader in hiding because that really isn’t leading it is avoiding.
Lastly, Bigfoot has many names depending on what part of the world you live in. Sasquatch, Abomidible Snowman, Yeti are just a few of the alternative names for Bigfoot. Are you the type of leader who has gained other names, many which are not endearing you to those around you. Don’t be the kind of leader who gets called names behind your back. Be a leader in which people will call you a leader and respect your leadership. Gain that respect from those people by being a true leader, lead by example and you will be a champion among leaders.
Avoid Bigfoot leadership, instead embrace true leadership and instead of becoming a legend in your own mind you will be an ultimate leader to others.

Where Have I Been?

 The title of this article is apropos since I haven't blogged in almost 12 years. I plan to start this blog up again and try to blog on a consistent basis. I will also be broadening the topics that I write about. Be sure to subscribe so you can get notifications about when I post. So what have I been up to since that October day in 2013 when I made my last blog? Let me recap for you. When that post happened I was in the middle of my Toastmaster journey and I'm happy to say that I crossed the Toastmaster finish line by earning my DTM. I didn't continue in Toastmasters after that since I changed jobs and took my leadership skills to Mathnasium and started running a Mathnasium in Blaine MN in 2016. I got the opportunity to blend my education degree with my MBA and use it as the Director of the Mathnasium in Blaine. I also had the opportunity to be the director at one in St Louis Park and one in  Andover. I ran these until 2023 when I decided to go back into the classroom and t...

THUNDEROUS LEADERSHIP

This is a condensed version of a speech I gave. The clap of thunder, the flash of lightening, a storm is coming, are you prepared. Storms occur on a regular basis whether they are weather related or life related we have all encountered a storm at one time or another in our life. The question is “are you prepared and will you survive? In the movie “A Perfect Storm” George Clooney plays a captain of a fishing vessel that gets caught up in the storm of the century. He has to make a quick decision about what to do under the circumstances. He had to react to a situation and make the best decision possible for all parties involved. During these perfect storms of life, decisions like these can be life changing. People get caught off guard during the storms of life because they are either ill prepared or they lack the leadership to make positive life changing decisions. In order to survive these storms in life we must follow strong leaders or be a strong leader ourselves. I am goin...

Canada or Bust

 This week I'm on vacation in northern Minnesota. I want to share some sights and sounds of where I went and what I did. Every summer we go to Wilderness Point Resort in Pequot Lakes. During this time, my son always plans another side trip that he and I take. This year our side trip consisted of a trip to Rainy River in Ontario, Canada, along with several stops along the way. My son collects city halls he takes pictures of them and posts them on a discord server. Our first stop was a visit to the Walker, MN city hall. Along the way to Canada we also stopped and got city hall photos for the following cities: Cass Lake, Black Duck, and Kelliher.  A big highlight was getting out in Shooks and taking a picture at the Royal Shooks Motel. Shooks is an unincorporated community, but at the intersection of highways 1 and 72 is the hotel, conveniently located in the middle of nowhere. In Minnesota and the upper Midwest, there is the legend of Paul Bunyan. We like to visit as many of the...
