    The following article is from Steve Wood Operations Director at Creative Foods, UK May 23, 2023. Courtesy of Steve Wood: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-wood-1a60a15b/ A #growthmindset is perhaps the thing above all others we look for in those who have the potential and ability to #lead. There are many other facets of character and behaviours that are required, yet without the spirit and appetite for improvement and leaning both individually and collectively very little can be achieved of substance and longevity. It is therefore, very important that...

    Courtesy of Building the Best The following article is courtesy of John Eades in "Building the Best" on may 23, 2023. The truth can set you free and create a brighter future than exists today.

In fact, the reality is that officiating is probably better and more accurate now than at any other time in history. Referees have more technology at their disposal,...

    The following article is courtesy of John Eades in "Building the Best" on January 4, 2022. Ask a group full of professionals what they want from a manager, and chances are you'll hear "someone that cares about me" at least half the time. While it seems like an obvious and simple desire, the sad reality is that it's a rarity.   According to Gallup, managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores across business units, yet only 36%...

The VIU Mariners have had 10 months to reflect on being one win away from a berth at the 2021 CCAA national championship. However, it wasn’t meant to be as the Mariners fell to the Douglas Royals and their season ended with a 2-0 loss. Coming into this season the Mariners will look different and it starts at the top.

    Originally published June 14, 2022 by John Eades in the "Building the Best" Newsletter. Getting leaders to care about culture because it's is a battle worth fighting.  Organizational Culture, by definition, is the shared values and beliefs that guide thinking and behavior. If your mind just shifted by that definition, you are not alone. Most professionals think about the office building, ping pong tables, or cool perks that come with the job.   Peter Drucker famously said, "Culture eats strategy for...
