'If performance metrics are established based upon the “feeling of the manager” then you will achieve misery, anger and fear…which is mutually exclusive of engagement. The measurements must be co-established by employee and manager in reference to the goal set. The employee has the final say over how to complete their own work, with the knowledge of the manager’s goals in context.

'Long before we heard the phrase “Quality is Job #1,” various movements initiated the concept of systematically improving product quality. Dr. W. Edwards Deming, considered the father of the quality movement, began championing his ideas for a statistical approach to quality in the 1940s and ’50s. The United States was the strongest industrial power at the time, but apparently no one saw the need for what he was prescribing.

'Authentic leaders have absorbed a fundamental fact -- that you can''t get around life''s inherent contradictions. The leadership mind is spacious. It has ample room for the ambiguities of the world, for conflicting feelings, and for contradictory ideas. A central leadership attribute is the ability to manage polarity. In every aspect of life, polarities are inevitable: How can I devote myself fully to both family and career?

'by Gary Cohen Focus on the Goal, Not the Problem. When I first meet with clients, they tend to want to focus on their current state (or the organization’s) and specific challenges. They want to vent. Sometimes venting helps them decompress, but too much venting can result in defeatism and paradigm paralysis. They visualize former failures and predict future ones.

'In another post , I expressed the idea that even if you never get caught, you would always know you did the wrong thing and the presence of this fact in your memory would "tear down your self-esteem." A cynical person might say, "So what? Self-esteem is over-rated." But a low opinion of yourself can set you up for failure, because it can cause you to: Feel ashamed and unsure of yourself because of past misdeeds, shortcomings, issues, and failures Compare yourself to others who have more charact

'Bill Bartmann, CEO of debt collection company CFS2, does things a little differently. Instead of just calling, hounding, and suing debtors to pay what they owe, he calls them "customers" and provides them with free job-search services, such as resume help and interview prep. Perhaps the reason Bartmann runs his company differently is because he himself has never shied away from living life differently.

'Do You Feel Lucky, Punk? When they’re hiring, companies are looking to find out what candidates have really done — not what they’ve participated in or watched, but what they’ve done. At least, that’s what Neil Roseman was looking for when he was Technology VP for Amazon and Zynga. “Even at the greatest companies,” he says in this illuminating piece from First Round Capital, “there’s a gap between those who get the most stuff done and those who don’t get much done.

He explained that while his wife was out one rainy afternoon, he and the kids baked blueberry crumble, then assembled a confection known as an "ice box cake" and also tried a new multi-step red quinoa salad recipe.

'When people in an experiment were shown two DVD players, 32% indicated they would buy one of the brands and 34% chose the other. But when the participants were shown a single DVD player, only 9% or 10% (depending on which brand they saw) said they would purchase the product, says Daniel Mochon of Tulane University. Retailers should bear in mind that consumers have an aversion to being offered just a single option, he says.
