“I would knock on his door and ask if he had a moment to talk. He’d set aside what he was doing, sit back, and give me his full attention. He was a busy man, but he made me feel there was nothing more important than what I had to say,” Andres reminisced. “Were you his protégé?” I asked. “No, he treated everyone like that.”. We were talking about Andres’ best boss.

When I first started my coaching businesses, I used to use the word love with my clients. I told them: Love what you do. Love your people. Love your work. Love your company. At the time, most people had never even considered that love could be a leadership competency. People thought of love as a feminine quality, a simple emotion.

I can tell the difference in productivity when I exercise and when I don’t. There are always seasons where the weather doesn’t cooperate, I’m traveling more, or I simply am busier than usual.

Being able to work well with others is a standard requirement for most jobs today. But a new study suggests that women do not get their fair share of credit for group work, especially when they work with men. Heather Sarsons, a PhD candidate in economics at Harvard, gathered data on economists to see how teaming up with others (in this case to coauthor a paper) affects the likelihood of getting promoted (i.e., getting tenure), and whether it differs by gender.

When mountaineers ascend rapidly to very high altitudes, they sometimes suffer from a condition called acute mountain sickness. The severe nausea and headaches are much like a bad hangover, but left unaddressed, can be debilitating and even fatal.
