Today, many people believe it’s impossible to be successful in the world of business, leadership, or politics and still maintain integrity. Some believe that the purpose of leadership is to acquire power and dominance. Many believe that business decisions are less effective if there is a serious consideration for moral matters. But the standard of leadership depends not only on the qualities and beliefs of our leaders, but also on the expectations we have of them.

Danby has a factory in Findlay, Ohio (and we are soon opening one in Mobile, Alabama). The drive to Findlay from Guelph is about 5 hours. I usually visit there on Monday - ideally on a Canadian holiday. Being there on Monday lets me drive down on Sunday. I take it leisurely. I drive for 45 minutes then stop. Take a short walk and open my computer and work on projects.

I am frequently confused for an extrovert. On Sundays and other important days of ministry I can perform as an extrovert. I assure you, it’s not what comes natural for me. I’m very much an introvert. I almost max out this preference on the Myers Briggs. I’ve written extensively about introversion on this blog. You can read some of those posts in the suggested posts at the end of this one.

When it comes to my role serving as the Governing Board Chairman at my daughters’ high school, one aspect of this leadership role that I enjoy the most is being invited to school events that celebrate the achievements of our students. After all, when you spend much of your time discussing school budget issues, funding projects, approving various school policies and the like, having the opportunity to talk with students to learn about their accomplishments really helps to provide a context

What is the main reason women in their early thirties are leaving your company? Organizational leaders report that women are leaving primarily because of flexibility needs and family demands. Women in their thirties disagree. A recent global ICEDR study revealed that leaders believe that the majority of women around the age of 30 leave because they are struggling to balance work and life or planning to have children, whereas men leave because of compensation.

What is the best way to start a negotiation about money: by offering a round sum, like $10, or a more precise one, like $10.20? Many people gravitate toward the former. But is this actually the most effective way to get what you want?

We spend too much time on email, have too many meetings, then struggle to find the willpower and energy to focus on what’s really important. Although plenty of experts have proposed systems and philosophies for getting more done at work, my writing partner Jake Knapp decided in 2009 to come up with his own solution: the sprint.

Since 2007, the number of complaints for religious discrimination filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has risen significantly. It’s not hard to see why: An increase in immigrants of diverse faiths, greater workforce diversity, and the globalization of business all play a role in more workers from different religious backgrounds meeting on the job.

Why is it so hard to get people to change? That’s one of the most common complaints I hear from executives in other organizations. They and their boards make decisions and send out orders and then…nothing happens. Frustrated by what they believe is their people’s inability to execute on their decisions, these executives often turn to outside help from consultants to help shepherd through these so-called “change management” initiatives.

It’s no secret that the hallways and cubicles of the tech industry aren’t exactly overflowing with female faces. Nor is there a surplus of black or Hispanic workers. In fact, for women, the technology gender gap seems to be getting bigger, not smaller. Women are earning fewer computer science bachelor’s degrees than they did 30 years ago.

Investors are increasingly seeking firms with long-term growth strategies, rather than ones focused on managing short-term earnings to boost the stock price. This, in turn, is triggering a shift in the perceived role of the CFO — from bean counters to planters of seed corn.
