Is resiliency easy? No, it’s not — but it is worth pursuing. Consider these three examples.

You are a leader who cares about your stakeholders, but do they know that? Your answer matters because when they know that you care, they will care about you, the work they do, and their team. Caring is a powerful way to deepen your relationships with others. So, if you feel that you are distant from the people who are out there doing the work that keeps your business or organization humming, remember that the relationships you have with them are important.

Lessons from a Debate. I was only a kid. For some reason, I found myself with adults much of the time.

Opinionated, full of facts, and seemingly knowing the answers, I launched into my arguments. I don’t even recall what they were and only vaguely remember the subject.

The importance of diversity to team performance is something that I’ve written about numerous times before. The research consensus is that whilst diverse teams can present coordination challenges, they nonetheless thrive due to the different perspectives they can bring to bare on particular problems.
