You’ve discovered the importance of really listening to those who support you, and that’s great. Listening is a powerful tool for leaders, but making sure that people feel heard is even more powerful. Think about the last time you felt heard. You might recall that you felt included and involved even when things didn’t go as you preferred. You may have been disappointed at an outcome or decision from the conversation, but you understood why it happened and you didn’t hold a grudge.

I was talking with with a pastor recently. He has made some decisions he feels are best for the church. In listening to him, I think he’s probably making good decisions. They are needed from the perspective of where he sits in the organization of the church. His next step was to present the changes to the church. I asked him how the staff felt about the changes.

Although most people equate business travel to a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, those who live it on a regular basis tend to have a rather different experience. Indeed, few unpleasant things are as glamorized as frequent business travel, particularly in light of the overwhelming evidence for its detrimental psychological, social, and physical effects.

Almost a century ago, the economist John Keynes famously predicted the emergence of a “leisure society” with ample free time. Reality turned out to be very different. Today, time is a scarce resource. Our “time poverty” leads us—consumers and organizations—to trade money for speed. For example, people are willing to pay more for Internet connections that download more megabits per second (Mbps).

I just got back from speaking at a 500 attendee event on the West Coast. The company referred to it as its annual meeting.

Despite its popularity in academic settings, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machines are rarely used as a marketing tool in the corporate world.
