Throughout our new book, Winning Well (available now!), David and I talk consistently about the importance of confidence AND humility, results AND relationships.

People often ask me for tips on how to give “negative feedback”—which is something that apparently no one enjoys either giving or receiving. Constructive feedback, on the other hand, which helps people grow and improve, is on everyone’s most wanted list. So what’s the difference between negative feedback and constructive feedback? The challenge you face when you give someone this helpful feedback is to speak in a way that allows people to hear and understand your message without causing them to

The benefits of thought leadership for consultants are well established. More inquiries from more clients, less competition and higher premiums on your projects. Plus, you’re invited to speak at conferences, write articles for prominent magazines and pose for your effigy to be carved into mountains. All of which lead to even more client inquiries. It’s a good thing.

In working with other churches and ministries, and in my experience in the business world, it seems we are desperate for good leadership. Organizations and teams thrive on good leadership. As much as we need good leaders, it seems whenever I meet a leader struggling in their role, rather than admit it could be them, often I only hear excuses. It must be easier to pass blame than to own the problem as our own.

Roughly 85% of corporate executives and board members are white men. This number hasn’t budged for decades, which suggests that white men are continuing to select and promote other white men. It is well known that people tend to favor and promote those who are similar to them — and that this in-group bias is problematic because it reinforces stereotypes and inequality.

For some, guns are a great business. In the three years since December 2012 (the date of the Sandy Hook killings) the U.S.-based “Big 3” — Ruger, Remington, and Smith & Wesson — collectively generated over $2 billion in gross profits as they sold about 45% of guns in the U.S. Investors also did well: A $100 investment in Ruger in late 2010 was worth $443 in late 2015, while the equivalent investment in the S&P 500 yielded only $163 over that time frame.

To this day, Microsoft Office remains the dominant office software suite, a position it has held since the 1990s. While competitors have emerged to appeal to different customer niches (Google Docs with collaboration or iWork for Mac users), for many people the value of using Office lies in the fact that many others use it; it has stood the test of time.

As I approach the 10-year anniversary of HubSpot, the marketing and sales software firm of which I’m CEO, I’ve been reflecting back on the decisions I’ve made — both right and wrong. There has been a fair share of both. I’ve also been considering how my decision-making process has evolved as the company moved from an early-stage startup to a growth-stage scale-up.

Studies have shown that 70% of the workplace is disengaged. That’s on top of the fact that in the near future 40% of the workforce will be freelancing. What this tells us is that most employees are either quitting and leaving their jobs or — worse — quitting and staying in the organizations in which they work.
