There is a kind of non-listening that goes on in our society and organizations that is distracted and disjointed, and often marked by interruptions. This non-listening doesn’t focus on the person speaking. Rather, the listeners try their hardest to get their ideas into the conversation. If you’ve experienced this, you know how frustrated you can be both as someone trying to be heard, as well as the listener who is trying to stay focused.

Aside from the deformed word “irregardless,” the term I despise most in our language is “workaholic.” I bet a buddy once that irregardless was not in his dictionary, knowing full well that some fool editor at Merriam Webster had defined it as a nonstandard usage for “regardless,” ignoring that it really means “not regardless.” My friend pulled down his big red book with a smile to prove me wrong, only to find that I had utilized a nonstandard metho

Insurance is a fairly modern concept, credited in its current form to Ben Franklin, who established the Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire in 1752. Centuries prior, merchants were forced to diversify and send loads through multiple routes, assuring that if one ship sank or cargo seized, others may reach their destination.

Guest post from regular contributor S. Chris Edmonds: Many companies have a board of directors, but we often don’t think about having a personal board to invest in our professional (and even personal) life. I ask you--do you have a group of people around you that are committed to your success, who push you to keep learning, and who hold you accountable to your values and purpose?

Congratulations on your new leadership position! I am sure you’ve worked hard and persevered along the way to get to this point.

Some studies show that our sub-conscious minds are 1 million times more powerful than our conscious minds. Now, if this is even a little bit true (and I think there is no doubt that it is), we should use our sub-conscious minds a little more intentionally. In today’s video, I’m giving you a few ways […].

A friend of mine is working on shedding some pounds. It’s a weighty challenge, even he’ll acknowledge (forgive the pun). He’s read every book and can describe a ton of strategies that work. That said, he’s struggling to put those strategies into practice. He’s not alone. While knowledge is power, or empowerment, it’s putting that knowledge into action that matters most.

I recently travelled out of town with the man I am dating. During the trip, someone asked me why I hadn’t changed my Facebook status to “in a relationship.” Notwithstanding the giggles and eye roll that followed that question, I pondered the word “relationship.” Coincidentally, I was asked to write a guest post for Talent Anarchy on that very subject.

Have you ever meet someone who seems so consumed with convincing you of his or her credibility that you quickly realize this person has absolutely no credibility? I often have that feeling when people tell me they are a “thought leader.”. Really? Did you get a degree for that? Is it on your business card? Yet, that label is much-desired these days among people, brands, and companies.

The company brochure has a rich history. It’s been an affordable way for businesses to share information about their products and services for decades. Since the days when it first became possible to run off a few hundred brochures with pictures and a few well-chosen words to inspire prospective customers to part with their money, there’s been a use for this classic sales tool.

One struggle I’ve witnessed consistently with leaders – including this one – is we drown in information overload. There are more good ideas than we can ever implement. We are constantly fed new information we can’t effectively analyze and implement. Whether from books, podcasts, conferences or what we come up with in the shower we just don’t know what to do with all the stuff in our heads.

The 18th-century polymath Jeremy Bentham once wrote, “Pain and pleasure govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think.” Modern neuroscience strongly supports Bentham’s intuition. The brain’s limbic system, which is important for emotion and motivation, projects to the rest of the brain, influencing every aspect of our being, from our ability to learn, to the people we befriend, to the decisions we make.

Companies need proactive employees. Proactive employees do more than they are supposed to, are good at realizing ideas, and work to overcome resistance to change. They are essential for suggesting, developing, and sustaining innovative new projects and for helping companies stay competitive. But being proactive at work involves risk. Entrepreneurial employees often are not rewarded for being proactive.

Conventional wisdom suggests that the most charismatic leaders are also the best leaders. Charismatic leaders have, for instance, the ability to inspire others toward higher levels of performance and to instill deep levels of commitment, trust, and satisfaction. As a result, they are generally perceived by their subordinates to be more effective, compared with less charismatic leaders.
