What I really love to do
I’ve spent most of my career making commissioned photographs for clients. After all these years if someone asked me, describe your perfect photography showcase, I would say without hesitation, “magazine cover.” I was lucky enough early in my career to have my photographs used on several covers and since I don’t have the opportunity right now to look for this kind of work, I thought I’d produce my own. Starting with the Virginia Moth Review.

Since our book group just read “Lincoln on Leadership” I did a little research on the traits of a leader and thought they were important. This work was done by Raymond Cattell, a pioneer in the field of personality assessment. He developed the Leadership Potential equation in 1954.
“Maturity. To be a good leader, personal power and recognition must be secondary to the development of your employees. In other words, maturity is based on recognizing that more can be accomplished by empowering others than can be by ruling others.”

I always thought that as a manager it a huge part of the job to keep people from bothering the experts and professionals that you have hired. I mean, you hire them because they are capable and skilled, you just need to keep people from asking them distracting questions and giving them deadlines that are moveable feasts.
