Curious where your team or business is starting to drift? Take the free 5 minute diagnostic

By the grace of God, and by people along the way who were honest enough to tell me the truth even when I didn't want to hear it, I've ended up here. The Next Position is something close to my heart for athletes figuring out life after the game. Take the diagnostic.

Big week. My website is finally live: tysonplee.com It started on a football field, moved into the film room, then into scouting. Took years before I realized that's what I was actually doing in business. I just thought it was how you paid attention to people.

Really, really good

Late night watching @spurs and @okcthunder. What a game! Watching SGA and Wimby in OT was worth it. I don’t know a ton about basketball but what Wemby was able to do and how he did iy at his size…. Wow

More and more tech leads to more and more ability for instant gratification and less struggle. The effects are in front of me. Scared to try. Scared to fail. Scared to struggle. Scared to be human. Let’s help them become the men God created them to be

Remove cell phones from schools and kids. Eat dinner together. Be bored. Sit outside. Find something to do. Force them to play outside. Ride bikes. Let them ride bikes. Alone. Let them fall, fail and grow. Bring back neighborhood kick ball. Lemonade stands on the corner.

Make space to deal with and work through your early wounds…. Now. They may seem minor or insignificant but the wounds are specific to you and they’re not insignificant. Early wounds that are not dealt affect you and your relationships more than you know.

The top line (blue dots) is more about kindness The bottom line (purple dots) is more about niceness Niceness is about protecting the current mood by staying pleasant and avoiding the truth Kindness is about protecting the person by being truthful enough to help them grow

One shift, transition in leadership: moving from individual contributor to leader of leaders/multiplier of others This is an emotional one and often exposes where we’ve found our identity. When we are training others, we’re changing roles which requires new skills and new focus.

@scottsauls Oh this is good. And I have lived this

Cynicism feels like wisdom, but it's usually just a way of protecting yourself from disappointment. The problem is that it also shields you from hope, and from the kind of vulnerability that real faith and human connection require.

The irony of this below but still so true for me. And you. The most expensive thing in the world is a free app. We don't pay for it with dollars but we do pay with the only thing we can't earn back which is our time and focus.

Optimization is for machines. Stewardship is for humans. Optimization asks: "How much can I get today?" Stewardship asks: "What will be left when I’m gone?” Obsession with optimization has shifted our focus and made us machinery. Stewardship calls us to being more human.

but you can’t distribute the soul required to carry it. As much as we love scale, exponential growth and multiples (I’m for all of them), character isn't fast-tracked. It’s not automated or generated overnight. It’s forged in the furnace/crucible and moments that test us most

Recently realized Leader Development and Leadership Development are not the same thing. Love how the Lord uses people to make things so simple and obvious even when they were not. Leadership tools are scalable but leaders are not. You can distribute tools/system to many….
