Far too many of us can also relate to working for managers who wielded their title and position authority as their only levers for leading. These managers caused me to question the likelihood of my contributing anything of value to the corporate mission. To hear their names, even years later, leaves me feeling drained and conjures emotions of lacking.

Women won’t see it.”… Read More Watch Your Mouth; Time for Human Decency in all we Say – (thoughts on Greg Hardy).

by Gary Cohen Prioritization. Your EA may not be able to read your mind, but over time he or she will come to know not only how you like work done, but also in what order. Every morning you should schedule a 30 minute meeting with your EA to set priorities. This meeting will become shorter over time as you get into rhythm. Start the meetings by asking what they’re working on currently and what they see as their priorities.

by Gary Cohen Trust & Confidentiality. As a leader, you must trust your executive assistant (EA) absolutely and without question. If you don’t have this trust, you do not have the correct EA. Executive assistants must understand that if they breach this trust even the smallest bit, operating in the grey, they have crossed the line and should give their resignation or you will need to let them go immediately.

Every leader experiences periods of ups and downs. Hopefully, more up periods. If you struggle with too many down periods, it might be because you have perfectionist tendencies. Transform yourself into an optimist by: Viewing failure as an opportunity to learn and understand that failure is part of a fulfilling life. Making room for pain. Don't deny yourself permission to feel painful emotions.

After people have attended an outstanding training program, there’s often an afterglow of good feelings for the instruction they received. They’re eager and motivated to use what they learned. The assumption is that if the training is excellent, and the learners buy into the content, they’ll apply the skills back on the job. But this isn’t what really happens.

There are two stories you can tell about finance in America. In the first , the financial sector helps grow the economic pie by shifting resources to the people and firms who can put them to the best use. In the second , Wall Street is capturing value rather than creating it; as economist Tyler Cowen once put it : “It’s as if the major banks have tapped a hole in the social till and they are drinking from it with a straw.” Both stories contain some truth, as a forthcoming study
