Feel The Thrill – Of Trying Out A New Stall

Silence: Shut Your Pie Hole
Last week Daxko was really quiet. Really quiet. A good chunk of our top performing team members were attending our annual Achievers Club….in St. Thomas. Others were attending out-of-town conferences. As you can imagine the energy in a growing software company is really kinetic so last week the stark silence was really noticeable. And I got more workContinue reading Silence: Shut Your Pie Hole
Saying Sorry: Only For The Wimpy Leader
Really? Do leaders who apologize for their mistakes become the Charlie Brown of the office? Do jerkies make better leaders? The Harvard Biz Journal reported last year that it is likely true. They asked, “Can you have respect and power? We (the HBJ) found that it’s hard to gain both”. In addition they said, “DecisionsContinue reading Saying Sorry: Only For The Wimpy Leader

Death Becomes HR
A few weeks ago my father, Ken Hrdlica, suddenly died. It was awful. He was 69 and very cool. He was well-known in the community, so much so that the local news ran on three separate broadcasts that he passed. He was a businessman, actor, singer, church contributor, sports lover; an all around renaissance guy. AndContinue reading Death Becomes HR
