Take a moment and think of a leader you admire. Focus on how he/she interacts with their audience. Does the leader listen and provide undivided attention? Or, does the leader at times cut off the other person in the middle of conversation? Not to take any sides in politics, but former President Bill Clinton has the gift of captivating the attention of the person he is talking to by looking at the person intently like no one else is around them.

I n high school, no one wanted to be a misfit. Rather, we wanted to be the cool kid. The one who was dating the cheerleader. It made sense. If we fit in, if we were popular, we’d be liked.

Most business leaders today realize that a strong organizational culture is critical to success. However, culture tends to feel like some magic force that few leaders know how to control. So most leaders try to shape culture based on their intuition, leave it to chance, or try carrot-and-stick approaches to drive performance.

More than 40 million people -- roughly one-third of the U.S. workforce -- work from home at least one or two days a week. If you are a leader of work-from-home employees, share the book, There's No Place Like Working From Home , with them. Share it particularly with an employee new to working from his or her home.

My son’s karate teacher recently asked his young students, “What’s the one thing you really want to improve on in the new year?” Hands shot up immediately, with responses like “Watch less TV!” and “Improve my karate form!” and “Work on my time management!” He asked each student to get more specific, write down the goal, and bring it to the next class.

How much do I tell, how much do I withhold? When does self-revelation serve a conversation, when is it self-indulgent? These can be tough questions for any leader to figure out. Here’s a recent case of somebody getting it right. Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City, last November announced a bold initiative to better tackle mental illness in the city.

If the enthusiasts are to be believed, driverless, electric cars will augur the end of all of humanity’s traffic woes. With nifty “mobility-on-demand” at our fingertips, we will live in cities that — as one autonomous driving start-up imagines — have “no congestion, zero traffic fatalities, instant parking available on demand, safe routes for cars, bikes and pedestrians and modern, efficient, up-to-date infrastructure.” There sure is a lot of hype around

When a valuable employee tells you she’s leaving , worrying about losing her institutional knowledge and experience is understandable. How can you oversee the transition in a way that helps you retain that expertise? Who should be involved? How far in advance of the employee’s end date do you need to start?

I teach at Rutgers University in New Jersey, the epicenter for many major companies in pharmaceuticals, insurance, and banking. And when leaders from these companies take my classes on digital marketing, there’s one objection to social media and content marketing that comes up almost every time: “But Mark, you don’t understand.
