Be Intentional; This Week's Reading Pile

I was at NAFCU’s Management and Leadership Institute yesterday. We all talked about being intentional.

I’m sure many of us want to be seen as kind, thoughtful, responsive and professional. But are we intentional about this in the things we do? Our emails? Our conversations? Our actions?? And consistent?

It is difficult. The world throws a lot at us each day. But those that are intentional and consistent amid the turmoil really impress me.? Just some Friday food for thought.

Now, on to this week’s reading pile!
