Every once in a great while, I re-visit the back story for this blog. ”Frequently wrong, never in doubt” –now tell me that does not describe your dad. Heck I don’t even know him. Yet I know.
But still, chances are, if you are like me, you noticed that your dad seemed to get smarter as YOU got older. In my own case, I was shocked at how much smarter my dad got after I hit about 25. I am still hoping my own kids return the favor, I am still in the eye-rolling phase of our relationship. But I do deserve it. Proud of it, in fact, cuz nearly everyone knows a dad’s prime reason for being is to just simply flat out embarrass the kids. I am really good at it.
All us dads have a notebook we carry with us. It contains phrases and sayings we like to throw out there, sometimes for advice, other times just to hear ourselves talk. I wasn’t supposed to tell you about this notebook…dad code and all…but there it is.
Page 217 of my own notebook has this gem: Walk Fast and Look Worried.
If my kids ever ask me for the leadership secret, I am prepared.

That’s a good one, GL. Reminds me of my own Dad’s advice on how to seem like an expert: Read the instructions one paragraph faster than the customer.
