Nearly every business leader recognizes the importance of their organization’s value proposition. It’s the elevator pitch, the one thing that your business can deliver to its customers that separates it from every other business out there. Your value proposition is so intrinsic to your business that, if I were to ask what it is, I bet you would be able to spout it off in a nanosecond.

Being a leader may sound glamorous, but the reality is it is a lot of work. While a leader’s prior performance is an indication of their capability, having new constituents means that they need to prove themselves again. The leader needs to work hard to earn the trust and respect of their people. While one can say, “I’ve done all the work and made it … why do I need to prove myself again?

That in turn encourages a spirit of contribution that leads to collaboration.

L eaders can’t lead without followers. That seems like an obvious fact but so many people are missing this. They don’t realize no one is following them. The other mystery is that those who do realize this conundrum don’t know why people aren’t following them. You can see the problem there, can’t you? These so-called leaders are stuck doing things but they can’t get others to hop on-board.

Recently I was reminded of a story about a young man who lived during the 1849 Gold Rush. An older, wiser man observed him passing by obvious ‘flecks’ of gold in the stream, and asked him why.

'A cultural lobotomy' is a term that authors Sue Bradley and Mike Fitzsimons use to describe a process that encourages us to become either logical or creative but not both. Either our creative abilities are subjugated by a world of tasks that requires us to be constantly rational and logical, or our logical abilities are dismissed as evil by a creative fashion that abhors organization and wealth.

In working with marriages in distress I’ve discovered most men have injured the women in their life emotionally, at least at some level. To understand how this can happen one needs to first understand one of the ways men and women are usually different. Most men are predominantly thinking beings – they receive and process experiences in life in a predominately rational and logical way.

An important part of your job as a manager is making sure everyone on your team has the right amount of work. It’s tempting to give the workhorse more projects than others (especially if she’ll get them done the fastest) or to ease up on someone who is struggling, but you also need to be fair. How do you make sure that work on your team is evenly distributed?

We each have a much bigger effect — positive and negative — on one another’s emotions than we might think. In their book Connected , Harvard professor Nicholas Christakis and political scientist James Fowler show that happiness spreads not just between pairs of people but also from a person to his friends, to his friends’ friends, and then to their friends.

It is almost second nature to create stereotypes of people based on age. If someone is in their twenties then they must be technologically adept, obsessed with keeping fit, prepared to change jobs frequently whilst obviously searching for meaningful work. Those in their sixties and seventies must be less interested in work and are probably exhausted and anticipating the leisure time offered by a long retirement.

More than a decade ago, countries in Europe began to take measures to increase the gender diversity of their corporate boards. Norway was the first to adopt a quota for female board members (40%) in 2004. Other nations followed suit – adopting either mandatory quotas (Germany, France, Belgium, Iceland, Italy) or voluntary goals (Austria, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK), with goals for female representation ranging from 25% to 40%.
