Have you ever noticed that sometimes life rhymes? Something happens to you that fits together so well with what happens next that (as my editor would say of another one of my other rhyming days) “That story is so tight no one is going to believe it.” But the truth is, our lives are full of true rhyming stories ready to knock a message into our hearts if we can listen well enough to hear them.

With new technology, come new problems. Oft times, with the increasing demand for the latest and greatest tech, security is more of an after thought. What has been a consistent theme is developing the next best technology, and then figuring out how to protect it. Before the tests are run to find the gaps, a hacker already knows how to exploit the tech in every way possible.

This post is another in my series of excerpts from my “More Human” book manuscript. I’ve often written that one of the most important leadership lessons is to know that “The Road to Greatness Is Paved With Mistakes Well Handled”, and this true story about a very big mistake gave our team the opportunity to put that lesson to the test, in the context of the wide-open Rocky Mountain west and the “cowboy way”…… A Good Day In The West Turns Bad.

Does this sound familiar? You went to a meeting where you had invigorating discussions, examined alternatives, came up with a cool plan of action, everyone left the meeting feeling motivated, and then six weeks later you get back together. As everyone enters the room and takes their seat, there are sideways glances, “Did you do that thing we talked about?”.

As change agents at work, we spend much of our effort on motivating people to change. However, even if someone is motivated to do something differently, they still need to be able to do it. Much of resistance is not a lack of motivation, but being daunted by the task ahead. It’s not that they won’t, but that they can’t. Our job as change agents is not just to convince people to change, but to enable them to do it.

Since I moved to Portland in 2010 I’ve become fascinated with a particular kind of business person – Oregon entrepreneurs. So much so, that last year I started to write nearly as much about them as I did about my first love, leadership. Those stories have appeared here, and in the online magazine we launched in late 2014, Built Oregon. What was it about these people that could have possibly pulled me away from my true north, my quest to find the best of More Human leadership?
