W-A-K-E like a boat\u2019s wake. \u2026 Everything you do and everything you don\u2019t do impacts the people around you \u2026 far, far, far more than you think it does.

Worry about the wake you leave behind.\u201d Whether it be a small ripple or one the size of a large wave, it will have its fantastic impact.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mike<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/files\/2010\/08\/2a3c9c8.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1480\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/files\/2010\/08\/2a3c9c8-188x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/files\/2010\/08\/2a3c9c8-188x188.jpg 188w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/files\/2010\/08\/2a3c9c8-88x88.jpg 88w, http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/files\/2010\/08\/2a3c9c8.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To:\u00a0 The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning. &nbsp; In his recent blog post, The Secret to Expanding Influence by Wooing Hearts, Dan Rockwell shares his interview&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2395,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-three-minute-leadership"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2395"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2161"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2162,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2161\/revisions\/2162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
