Hi Joel
I wrote it quick and recorded it even quicker. I had an idea of what I wanted and just went kind of raw.
Thanks for the comment

Creative and inspiring song!! I think the line “you gotta listen to the kids cause they’re gonna show you the way” says it all.

This song is awesome. How long did it take you to come up with it?

A growing theme of this leadership meme seems to be engagement. It sounds like bloggers would like to see top-down decision-making take a back seat.

This is a great post Kevin, you always offer an original slant on things!

I gave similar advice to leaders but towards their teachers. Slow down and listen.

Both posts remind me of something I keep trying to remember as I make my way through life – seek to understand before being understood. In order to do that, I need to slow down and listen.

Thanks for the song.
