Long a fan (and beneficiary) of the joy of accidently tripping into discoveries, the speaker’s counsel troubled me.

Guest post by Ken Marlin: Leadership is one of those concepts that management gurus like to throw around. There are tons of books and articles on the subject. One article I read said that leaders look forward while managers manage what just happened. I don’t buy it: good leaders do both. Another said that leaders “influence” while managers “direct.” Nah … Leaders direct too—when their suggestions don’t get the desired result.

Especially when people are involved. You’ve heard silence is golden – and it’s true. One of my favorite verses is Ecclesiastes 5:2. “God is in heaven and you are on earth. Let your words be few.” James tells us to guard the tongue. I often get in less trouble when I talk less. And, maybe this is exactly the encouragement you need from this post.

Marion Barraud for HBR. How much energy do you have at work? Do you feel invigorated and engaged or down and disengaged? Either way, the reason might be your coworkers: They are infecting you with their energy, positive or negative. We “catch” energy through our interactions with people – something called “relational energy”— and it affects our performance at work.

Every day, employees resign from jobs. In the United States and Western Europe, annual resignation rates hover at just below ten percent, with much higher rates found in parts of Asia. Those currently entering the workforce are expected to engage in even more job hopping than prior generations, suggesting that employers may want to move beyond the simple notice policy in the company handbook and learn to encourage employees to resign in constructive ways.

Once upon a time, there was an enlightened organizational leader who spoke candidly about his upcoming retirement. “I am afraid about the next phase of my life” he would say, continuing “I’m not sure what my life is or will be without my job, without my career. How will I spend my time? How will I face the fact that I am replaceable, that the world can and will go on without me?
