Silly superstition, right? Of course, right … but not to an estimated 17 to 21 million Americans, according to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute.

J im Collins in his book Good to Great shares that we need to get the right people in the right seats on the right bus. As leaders, we know this is crucial. What we often forget is that we can place the wrong leaders in the wrong seats on the wrong bus and this creates more issues than having the wrong team members. I recently came across a great quote and I don’t know who said it.

I had read Elizabeth Kübler-Ross and David Kessler's book - Life Lessons - what 2 experts on death and dying can teach us about life and living. Recently I attended an event where the book was discussed. I ascribe to Stephen Covey's 7th law - Sharpening the Saw - take the breaks needed to rebuild. For me, attending seminars does that. You would think the obvious lesson would be "life is short" (and I was tragically reminded of that last night when I attended the funeral visitation of Kate Waters

I confess to having cultivated a strong affinity for Big Thinkers in my advancing years as an executive. The flip-side of this growing affinity is my creeping impatience and dismissal of small thinkers. Given the scale and scope of the challenges in our world and in our industries and firms, small thinkers are a drag on the drive to change. And yes, life and our careers are too short to think small.

Business travel should be about relationship building, but so often the stress of dealing with logistics and the anxiety of meeting a whole whack of new people keep it from being an effective way to connect, especially at conferences. Using social tools can focus your on-the-road time on the people you really want to get to know. This is my seven-step strategy for using social media to turn conference introductions into ongoing connections: Step 1 : Before the conference, install a business-card

KENNETH ANDERSSON FOR HBR. A proven way to get ahead in your career is to take on stretch assignments. These projects can develop your skills and confidence, as well as prove to leaders that you can succeed at the next level.

Traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores have many disadvantages when competing against online counterparts. Online stores are always open and are available anywhere, have “endless aisles” and can use digital tools to personalize offers to customer preferences.

One of the big challenges for the people leading global sales organizations is figuring out the right way to set pay for for salespeople who work in vastly different countries and markets. Some argue that having a single global plan for each sales role (e.g. the same pay mix, metrics, plan type, and payout curve in every country) is beneficial : “A global plan aligns with the needs of global customers and creates uniformly effective and fair compensation.
