Creative abilities are highly desired attributes by most people. Musicians, artists, and business innovators are highly admired by people with an appreciation for achievements beyond the ordinary. In popular culture, fans celebrate the performance of others to the point of devotion. Most of the people we admire often have the gift of the elastic mind. People with elastic minds have the ability to hit the winning basket during a basketball game, sing with grace and feelings, or innovate the next technology that changes the business landscape. The skills of the elastic mind are, at times, the gifts we’re born with or the results of sweat and tears. Either way, we have the “can do” attitude that empower the creative and innovative spirit within.
In the chapter titled “The Power of Observation,” Tracy Treacy describes her journey as a private practice therapist.
Dr. Dave Martinez highlights his journey as a high school principal in the “Continual Learning” chapter.
Kevin Castle, Managing Director of a technology consulting business is profiled in the “Climbing the Mountains – Clearing the Hurdles” chapter.
In the chapter “The Story of Getting There,” Tammy Hawkins, Managing Director at Experis tells her story.
Richard Dolman, Vice President at Agile42, gives insights into his leadership experience in the “Smaller and More Frequent Delivery” chapter.
Alicia McLain, business owner of Operational Innovations, highlights her growth as a leader in the “Learn Fast – Inspect and Adapt” chapter.
In the chapter “You Don't Know It Until You Do It,” Jill Freeman Stack, Principle at Jill Stack PR gives her testimony of her career growth into business ownership.
James Wright, Agile Marketing Coach, tells his story of triumph in the “Check the Rearview Mirror” chapter.
In the chapter “Pay it Forward for Those Who Follow,” Wes Kliewer Director of Learning at Project Insights, tells his story. Bobby Cooper Jr., Owner of El Cheapo Lift, shares his powerful moments of courage in the “When You Fall, Stand Again” chapter.
Based on extensive experience and observation, I believe we all have leadership traits, but proactive efforts are needed in order to grow and transform these skills. The appropriate level of planning, nurturing, and execution can help leaders navigate the course from a non-starter to a resilient starter and finisher.
Shawn, Chase, and Mario are three personas who represent the leadership dispositions of resilient-starters, quick-starters, and non-starters and finishers. Their stories model the ways that you can use lean thinking and agility to transform your leadership character.
What Does Delivering Value Look Like in the 21st Century – Future of work?
Value is one of those concepts everyone thinks they understand until the moment they must describe it to someone else.
The truth is much of our culture wants value from people, projects, and goals. In this landmark book, Dr. Dave A. Cornelius takes a renaissance view of the 21st century and future of work. He explains what delivering value means for individuals, businesses, and our society.
Deliver Value is that rare kind of book that not only clearly explains a series of abstract concepts but is also a pleasure to read. Dr. Cornelius uses fictional stories as modern-day fables to help explain what it looks like to deliver value in the real world.
In addition to these fictional stories, Dr. Cornelius also shares interviews with four business leaders to provide real-world examples of what value means in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.
Inside this book, you will learn:
The real definition of value
What value looks like to customers
What value looks like to businesses
How value affects the future of work
What leaders want
How belonging, diversity, equity, and inclusion contribute to value
How to satisfy customers by delivering value
The link between delivering value and building a thriving business
And Much More
Delivering Value is essential reading for every business owner, executive, manager, entrepreneur, and anyone who cares about the future of work.

The book of Psalms contains many songs of praise that many people read daily for guidance. I invite you to read these prayers to help you create your own prayers. God love creative people! That is why God set aside the Levites as a special group of people responsible for music. I invite musicians to take these words and add melodies and new chord changes and share them with the world.
