We’ve all been there – when you are there but you’re not really there. You may be physically present but your mind and energy are elsewhere. Believe me, people all around you notice. And it happens far too often. A Harvard study showed that our minds are not focused on what’s in front of us a whopping 47% of the time, and in these times, our happiness level is at its lowest – a wandering mind is not a happy mind.

The 26 th President led a very tragic life; it made him empathetic and a great leader Guest post from Jon Knokey : Certainly there can only be one Theodore Roosevelt: the smile, the bombastic laugh, the unbridled energy that bore him the nickname the “steam engine in trousers.” But Theodore Roosevelt was deeply melancholic and forlorn.

The leader sets the bar for the organization. If you are a leader of an organization then you have the awesome responsibility of establishing the parameters by which your organization will be successful.

Massive flocks of starlings, known as murmurations , exhibit a rare combination of speed and scale. The birds coordinate themselves with remarkable agility to find food and avoid attacks. Schools of fish do the same. What’s noteworthy in these murmurations is the lack of a leader.

Often, when I’m asked to give a speech on strategy at some company event or conference, I find that one of the other speakers is a former professional sports player. In that capacity, I’ve happily attended the talks – with much interest – of a famous ice-hockey and a famous table tennis player, some rowers, and a freeskier; I’ve listened to the fascinating tales of a professional BASE jumper whose parachute failed, someone who walked to the North Pole unaided, an Ol
