Enough Is Enough!

Chris Stuckey — Sat, 12 May 2012 19:35:29 +0000

I’ve had it with fast food chains and their drive-thru’s. The pure reason for drive-thru’s, I thought, was to speed things up so that you can get your food and quickly head to your next location? I have seen a slow decline in the whole customer service of fast-food chains in recent years and I’ve had enough. Here is [...]

My Favorite Application Is…

Chris Stuckey — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:05:56 +0000

I love all of the tools available to help us to keep up with our daily lives. If you have smartphone or computer, which most of you do, you know how many options that are available to you. I have tried a lot of these tools and I keep coming back to one application that continues to do everything [...]

Are You A Servant Leader

Chris Stuckey — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:00:55 +0000

About a year ago I wrote the blog post, “There’s No “I” In Team.” In the post, I talked about how I was impressed by the leadership and “Team” philosophy at the corporation where I was working. I wrote, “I have been contracting for a large corporation for the past three months and saw some nice things [...]

Why Is This?

Chris Stuckey — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:21:25 +0000

For the last two years I have been in the process of training to eventually become a Christian Counselor/Life Coach. In the meantime, I have been looking for part-time work along with Social Media Consulting work. It has been a longer process then I originally thought it would be. My friends and mentors keep reminding me [...]

The Leadership Of Bill Gates

Chris Stuckey — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 23:58:33 +0000

Today I’m continuing my look at leadership qualities of influential people who have made an impact on our society and what makes them great leaders. I want to focus my attention on the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates. I will focus on two qualities: his ability to “Think Big” and his willingness to give back to society. Ability [...]

What’s Up With This Man They Call Steve Jobs?

Chris Stuckey — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:37:52 +0000

Steve Jobs has always intrigued me as an individual. How come people follow and love this man who is known to have a demanding style of management and was once named the Fortune’s list of America’s Toughest Bosses in regard to his leadership? What’s up with this? Let’s look at the leadership qualities of the man who runs [...]

I Can’t Say “No.”

Chris Stuckey — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 20:39:56 +0000

After reading Michael Hyatt’s post, “5 Reasons Why You Need to Get Better at Saying ‘No.,’” I realized I need to re-evaluate my own difficulty saying “No.” For the past 3 years, while I have had a lot of free time between contract jobs, I have gone to a lot of meetings, networking events, workshops, [...]

Are You A Manager Or Are You A Leader?

Chris Stuckey — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:18:54 +0000

In my men’s small group this morning one of the guys asked me what’s the difference between a manager and a leader. I wanted to come up with the perfect answer. I said that a manager and leader are the same. I was wrong. The manager just makes sure each person does their assigned tasks [...]

I Have To Admit Something

Chris Stuckey — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 19:55:34 +0000

OK, I have to admit something. I have not updated this site lately because I’m not confident in my writing. I have put off my ideas to avoid the so called embarrassment of readers like you calling me out on my misspellings, punctuation mistakes, and just plain stupidity,. When you do see a new blog [...]

Do You Get Along With Your Boss?

Chris Stuckey — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 03:44:05 +0000

We have all worked for both good and bad bosses in our career. I came across some tips to help you get along with the hard-to-get-along-with boss: Keep an Open Mind – Don’t assume your boss has nefarious intentions. It’s possible your manager is simply unaware of the effect of his or her actions. Go [...]
