W hile I’ve always loved learning, I’ve often failed to invest in myself. This lack of investment in myself is sad, looking back on it. There are so many missed opportunities to grow. I dismissed the mentions of conferences as silly. I threw away audio recordings that were meant for growth. I sucked as a young leader. Why I Didn’t Invest In Myself.

What’s the best and most effective team you ever served on? Think of a team – at work, school, sports, neighborhood, wherever – where you genuinely contributed to the team’s goals and you were treated with trust, respect, and dignity in every interaction. I ask this question frequently – of executives I’m coaching to improve their company’s culture, of keynote audiences, in leadership workshops, and more.

Some of my favorite parts of Douglas Conant 's and Mette Norgaard 's 2011 book, TouchPoints , are these lessons for leaders: You need to have dual vision. You need to be able to address the most pressing need and do it in a way that makes your employees more capable and ready to take on the next issue. No leader can succeed by being only tough-minded or only tender-hearted.

When business professionals don’t have the ability to bring in new clients, they have to rely on others to cultivate leads. While this model can be effective, it is obviously in your best interest to be skilled at bringing in new business on your own. The Problem: But the path to successful selling is blocked for many by one primary obstacle: the fear of humiliation.

Take one hour to read Brian Tracy's pocket-sized guide for managers, Motivation. You'll finish the book within that hour, and it'll be worth your time.

You probably know the feeling all too well: You arrive at the office with a clear plan for the day and then, in what feels like just a moment, you find yourself on your way back home. Nine or 10 hours have passed but you’ve accomplished only a few of your priorities. And, most likely, you can’t even remember exactly what you did all day.

Even when startups have great products and customer interest, they struggle with long-term growth. Often, our research shows, the biggest obstacles are the entrepreneurs themselves. To borrow an analogy from our Harvard Business School colleague Shikhar Ghosh, their firms aren’t murdered by the market; they commit suicide because the founders can’t or won’t adapt to the organizations’ changing needs.

We’ve all heard it: Millennials are more narcissistic, entitled, and self-indulgent than generations past. Whether that makes you nod your head or roll your eyes — the evidence, after all, remains controversial and polarizing — the idea that narcissism has increased among college students over the last 25 years is worrisome from an organizational perspective.

When you feel it’s risky to share concerns with your manager, conventional wisdom says to choose your words very carefully, avoiding political landmines and emotional hot buttons.
