Mom told us breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Andrew Carnegie told us that “if you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.” There is some debate these days over whether breakfast is so important, but there is no debate about goals. I am not saying that you don’t know that goals are important.

You end up overwhelmed, under-appreciated, and angry, if you own other people’s monkeys. Someone walks in your office with an issue – a monkey. Make sure they walk out with their monkey.

Every leader has a big temptation in front of them. The temptation is whether to be true to who they are or to be who they think others want them to be. The shocking truth is that the people you lead want you to be yourself, not some fake. Why We Struggled Being Our True Selves. Let’s be honest here, being yourself is scary. I remember elementary school.

Well-run meetings allow you and your team to clarify issues, set direction, and move objectives forward. They’re essential to your team’s success. And yet there never seems to be enough time to properly plan and execute meetings. Perhaps it’s time to rethink whether you should even be leading your own meetings. When working with managers and executives, I’m often surprised at how many assume the leadership of the meeting falls to the highest-ranking person in the room.

In the early days of Twilio, the cloud communications platform company where I work, the company’s founders decided that priority number one was customer empathy. That’s not unique, of course.

A few years ago, I was teaching a two-day program about ethics in India for entrepreneurs and business faculty who taught entrepreneurship. It was a program that I had spent years honing, building upon research that suggests rehearsing — pre-scripting, practicing voice, and peer coaching — is an effective way to build the moral muscle memory, competence, confidence, and habit to act ethically.

Oysters and alliances have something in common: a little irritation can produce a thing of beauty. When partners in an alliance come into conflict, it can be just what is needed to produce a technically and commercially successful product. Eli Lilly and Company measures the health of its alliances with a “Voice of the Alliance Survey.” Members from each partner organization rate the alliance in areas related to strategic fit, operational fit, and cultural fit.

Are women better doctors than men? A new study by Yusuke Tsugawa, Anupam B. Jena, and Jose F. Figueroa, et al., explores this question and finds that patient outcomes do differ depending on whether they were treated by a man or a woman. Specifically, they find that among Medicare patients who had been hospitalized, those treated by female internists had lower mortality and readmissions in the following month than those who saw male internists.
