I have this problem. When I wake up Monday morning (around 4:15 AM), I don’t feel the happy, energized, and focused self most of my clients, colleagues, and friends see when they encounter me later in the morning. At least not until I’ve taken my meds. : ). A lot of people I know feel this way in the morning and unfortunately, it extends into most of the day and it is especially more intense on a Monday.

Self-directed learners, or autodidacts, possess the capability to chart their futures in ways that can give them an advantage over their less ambitious contemporaries. I should know, I am one! Back in the day, I didn’t have the Internet to support me. Yes, I did it the old fashioned way — I bought books and read them. It’s laughable by today’s standards, but, back in 1988, I spent countless hours in the New York City Library doing the research needed to complete my fir

O n a recent run, I listened to a fascinating book by Jon Gordon. That book was The Positive Dog. Gordon shared the story a young dog who had been unadoptable at the pound. And he thought that he was going to be there the rest of his life. Then, one day, an old, wise dog named Bubba stepped into his life. He shared with him the wisdom of thinking positive and how it could change lives.

The danger of underhanded resistance is you don’t see it coming. Skillful leaders know polite foot dragging, agreement without follow through, and recurring “confusion” are underhanded resistance. Malicious or innocent: Underhanded resistance is always malicious, even when it smiles. It may be motivated by insecurities or disagreement, but it has one objective.

Forbes, July 6, 2016: Performance feedback is something everyone gets nervous about —leaders and team members alike. Often, this is because leaders don’t communicate well enough or put enough time or energy into making the review useful to everyone. However, the process doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Providing feedback to others is a skill that requires tact and finesse.

As a trusted legal advisor, you have taken valiant measures to protect your client’s brand against evil cybersquatters, typo-squatters, domain tasters, and other nefarious enemies by defensively registering a domain. Your client has already spent money to buy the domain, so why not provide your client additional value by encouraging him or her to put the domain to work instead of letting it just gather dust in the registrar account?

Everyone tells you to get referrals. And most people tell you to “ask” for them. “Don’t forget to ask for a referral.” Horrible strategy. Totally offensive for the most part. Borderline rude. And asking the same customer twice is a death wish.

The uncompromising condemnation of Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s words, “Our most effective response to terror and hatred is compassion, unity and love,” troubled me. Why is talk of caring and connection so threatening? Looking for clues, I researched emotion, neuroscience, and change management. I kept circling back to love and its opposite, fear, which took me to Machiavelli’s words that “it was safer to be feared than loved.

Imagine how you’d react if one of your employees crawled her way into your office with a broken leg or became visibly ill at her desk. You wouldn’t ignore her physical health or tell her that she really needs to keep her personal problems at home; you’d help her to the emergency room and ask how you can help during her recovery. The truth is that your employees’ health is rarely as obvious as a broken bone or the flu.

Last month, I visited my village of Ovim in Southeastern Nigeria. I met a painter who also manufactures the paint he uses for his work. According to him, his business nearly collapsed early in the year when he could not access the foreign exchange market to import the raw materials required for his paint production. At that time, the Nigerian central bank was running a currency control regime which stifled the importation of goods for small businesses.

Sales leaders have a deep-seated belief in using stretch goals to challenge a sales force. Stretch goals are correctly credited with guiding effort, promoting innovative thinking, energizing salespeople, and boosting persistence. Many successful companies have lived the virtuous cycle: Sales leaders set a stretch goal, the sales force surpasses it, and sales force morale and confidence gets a boost.
