I started running again. (Please don’t inform me of the over / under on how many days until I quit.) Anyhow, I decided to combine my love for books with my need to exercise in an effort to make the most of each run. I have loaded up some audio books onto my ipod, and now can run and learn at the same time. I hope that my thirst for knowledge will help to offset my love for sleep — and subsequent reluctance to drag my butt out of bed, lace up my asics, and get after it.
This week, while pounding the pavement at the crack of dawn, I am listening to the audio version of one of my favorite books — Tribes by Seth Godin. A quote from that book stuck with me all day today. “Managers make widgets, Leaders make change.” I love it. I am working on becoming an effective leader. Just like running… it is not easy work, but I know I am better off for doing it. You?
Hi David,
You are a great leader who brings about many positive changes! Thanks for your comments, and for all you do for the Dayton community.

Thanks Rich.
Thanks David–
Seth provides me daily with his inspirational vitamins, and I’d judge his batting average to be up there with the legendary Ted Williams.
Another gem from TRIBES…to paint the picture you want to see of your world and lead your tribe towards the realization of this vision.
