How to get more work done without really trying. Now there’s a topic I could put my bookmark in! Perusing the bookshelves at my local Barnes & Noble, I pulled out a shiny red-covered book and stared at the imprint in the yellow circle cutout. “Stop the busywork, and start the work that matters.” To be fair, I feel like I must give credit to the book title, Do More Great Work , but this is not a review of the book.

I bet if I asked you what your company is all about you’d give me that same ol’ rehearsed elevator pitch. You’d be able to tell me what it does and why it’s important. But, if I asked you how. You just might stall. The answers on “ how ” a business does what it does lies in its unique combination of systems that governs how it executes its mission.

We hear so much about coaching these days. Leaders need to coach more. Employees need more coaching. High performers need coaching. Low performers need coaching. As leaders, how can we know we’ve done enough? And what does a quality coaching conversation actually look like in action? Over the years, I’ve adopted a simple definition of coaching: “To coach is to develop another person by listening and asking questions to clarify ideas and commit to action.” If you look clos

As the year comes to a close I find myself (as I often do) reflecting on the months past and thinking about – as many of us do – New Year resolutions. Aside from the classic “lose some weight,” I’ve been giving thought to resolutions for the workplace. In talking with colleagues and clients, communicating better has been a resounding theme for 2017.

The more emotional the market, the more predictable it is. By Elliott Wave International. Last week's shocking spike in crude oil prices is +12% and counting, the biggest one-week gain in five years. Media stories blame one culprit: the November 30 OPEC agreement to cut production. In absolute terms, the agreed-to cut is small: 1.2 million barrels a day, less than 2% of daily global oil production.

Great consultants don’t necessarily want to spend a lot of time talking about theory or generalities, they would rather roll up their sleeves and get into the mix to help you address your project needs and challenges now. That’s what you want to see: candidates that demonstrate how they can add value to the project, and are excited to get started. Success in bringing in a consultant hinges largely on determining what they know about – and how they might fit into – the company’s

Think back to the last team project you participated in at work. How did the person running the project lead the group? Did they lead by presenting a plan and using their authority to insist that others follow along? Or did the person instead lead by explaining why a particular course of action seemed like the best one, allowing others to willfully get on board?

There’s one debilitating behavior that most of us fall victim to with great regularity: listening to critical voices in our heads. Whether they originate from external criticism or our own fears and doubts, these negative voices tell us we’re not good enough, kind enough, or productive enough. Research shows that echoing negative thoughts inside our heads increases our chances of depression, isolates us from others, and inhibits us from pursuing goals.
