Your mind is lying to you. One of the things I’ve battled with throughout my life has been self-doubt. I doubt that I’m good enough. I doubt people like me. And I doubt I make an impact on the world. No one has told me any of those things. Yet my mind replays those thoughts on an almost daily basis. Image by Evan Rummel. Self-doubt mocks me.

It’s a story everyone has heard and maybe even experienced a hundred times before – the hard worker desperate to escape their monotonous corporate life to pursue adventure in far off lands. Each of us has at least a seed of wanderlust waiting to grow and tempt us away from routine and stability.

(I used to be one of those who loved to shop Christmas Eve – now it’s one of my busiest work days.). Maybe you’ve thought about what you’d get your wife, but the problem is you still have no clue what to get her.

G ARY MORTON had the opportunity to be a part of two excellent organizations under accomplished leaders. First as a lieutenant tank commander in the U.S. Army’s Task Force 4-68 under Lt.

Without them as an option, he was having a much harder time. His flight was leaving first thing in the morning for Carmel, where he would meet his newly expanded executive team for an offsite to discuss the company’s portfolio strategy

Pedro Pestana/EyeEm/Getty Images. People are undoubtedly your company’s most valuable asset. But if you ask cybersecurity experts if they share that sentiment, most would tell you that people are your biggest liability. Historically, no matter how much money an organization spends on cybersecurity, there is typically one problem technology can’t solve: humans being human.

Joed Barallas/EyeEm/Getty Images. Some years ago, we worked with a director of a multinational pharma company who’d been receiving poor grades for engagement and leadership effectiveness. Although he tried to change, nothing seemed to work. As his frustration grew, he started tracking the time he spent with each of his direct reports – and every time he received bad feedback, he pulled out his data and exclaimed, ”But look how much time I spend with everyone!

MirageC/Getty Images. This has been a remarkable year for the markets. The S&P and the Dow indexes are up 18% and 19%, respectively. But this run-up isn’t based on solid business foundations.
