Evil’s War Plan Against Us Just Uncovered! I heard archaeologists unearthed bound papers scratched in an alien language seven miles outside Jerusalem. It was 1921, and the text is only now beginning to be deciphered; after a century of sweat-filled blood kept secret. It seems to have been left behind by a Corporal rank devil-strategist as he was escaping back to hell, as it still lingers of smoky horror. Here, I will reveal their devilish strategies they still use to undo us all – including our organizations and families. This is part of their ancient playbook, which I will release over the coming months as the deciphering continues. These strategies, like our souls, bound in human flesh. We are their enemy.  https://rickwalker.com/essays/evils-war-plan-against-us-just-uncovered/   Order my new book 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning on Amazon or wherever you buy your books https://rickwalker.com/amazon/  Visit my website https://www.rickwalker.com to get more essays or to enrol for free with my biweekly newsletter!   Let's connect on socials:  https://twitter.com/RickWalkerTX  https://www.facebook.com/RickWalkerTX  https://www.youtube.com/@rickwalkertx  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickwalkertx/

The cliché of a man needing no introduction is rife, yet it’s apropos to Greg Brenneman. In business circles, his status is practically mythical and his list of accomplishments is vast. Brenneman has served as the President, CEO, COO, or a combination of the three at companies as diverse as Burger King, Home Depot, and Continental Airlines, and from each he has learned lessons he’s taken into his current role as a mentor and business acquisition expert working with Fortune 500 companies. Lessons he’s ready to divulge to you. I had the privilege of sitting down with Brenneman for almost two hours, with the following being some of the lessons extracted from our conversation. https://rickwalker.com/interviews/become-a-leader-the-former-ceo-of-continental-and-home-depot-talks-business-and-family/  Order my new book 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning on Amazon or wherever you buy your books https://rickwalker.com/amazon/  Visit my website https://www.rickwalker.com to get more essays or to enrol for free with my biweekly newsletter!

Slow Down It’s as if a double standard applies to us all. I’m normally a hard-charging individual. I assert what I want and move quickly to get it. I use deadlines (which I call promises) to threaten counterparties to move quickly. Because I know individuals under pressure make mistakes. However, if I am working with someone who is on my team and I want to succeed, I must lower the pressure. I don’t want them to make mistakes. Their errors are mine.  https://rickwalker.com/essays/slow-the-hell-down/  Order my new book 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning on Amazon or wherever you buy your books https://rickwalker.com/amazon/  Visit my website https://www.rickwalker.com to get more essays or to enrol for free with my biweekly newsletter!

The Five-Part Framework for Synthesizing Across Domains What do you learn about strategy when you study art?

Alexander, Aristotle, and Homer In 2023, shortly after Christmas, I stood alone. Facing the mystical Dutchman Rembrandt. Shannon and the girls were already in the next gallery hall for a fashion display, but I lingered. The beloved museum nestled in Central Park, the refuge of the capital city of the world – every political capital is rendered mute by power’s financial capital. Passing through a half-dozen lesser European art galleries, I entered Rembrandt’s throne room. https://rickwalker.com/essays/alexander-the-great-your-master-makes-your-meaning/  Order my new book 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning on Amazon or wherever you buy your books https://rickwalker.com/amazon/  Visit my website https://www.rickwalker.com to get more essays or to enrol for free with my biweekly newsletter!
