Guest post from Janelle Bruland: There is a growing epidemic that is killing us as leaders, and it’s completely curable. Our culture is filled with more anxiety and stress than ever. None of us were built to handle what we are all dealing with on a daily basis. The average knowledge worker today is interrupted every 11 minutes by some form of communication.

If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you may remember the post I wrote back in April after my dad, Jack Eblin, passed away. One of the things I mentioned early on in that post was that my mom and dad were together for a total of 69 years. They dated for seven years starting at age 14 and were married for another 62 years after that. So, not surprisingly, I’ve had a lot of friends and readers ask me over the past few months, “How’s your mom doing?”.

In 2009, after a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Summit (Russia’s Davos), I wandered into a panel discussion on the topic of trade wars, led by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.

Leaders Ask Great Questions. Plenty of success gurus can tell you about the importance of asking questions—not just for leaders, but for everyone. In your personal life as well as in business, understanding others’ knowledge and goals is an important part of being successful—and, frankly, an important part of having empathy. “No one is dumb who is curious.

My boys (10, 12, 14) are loving Greek mythology right now—from Percy Jackson’s books to any movie reference.

Achilles also happens to be trending in the business world—with the term, ‘Achilles heel’ being used to describe a weak point or something that can bring down an organization or company.

Most entrepreneurs are led to believe that successful business models prosper quickly and easily. However, in a study by Statistic Brain, “Startup Business Rate by Industry Business, the failure rate of all U.S. companies after five years was over 50 percent, and over 70 percent after 10 years. Too many entrepreneurs may be focusing too much on their hopes and dreams of success rather than maintaining daily best practices to stay productive and healthy.

The value of diversity to an organization is something that I’ve touched upon numerous times over the years , with a particularly influential paper from MIT highlighting the commercial benefits of a diverse workforce.

Some of the imagery used by the media to portray the Syrian refugee crisis was some of the most harrowing seen in modern times. The images were typified by that of 3-year-old Alan Kurdi lying face down on a beach in Turkey having drowned in his attempted escape from Syria. Research from the Missouri School of Journalism suggests such images were typical of the reporting of the crisis, and helped to create a perception of the refugees as victims.

Job Burnout was first described by American-German psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974, and has since appeared in thousands of scientific publications (850,000 according to Google Scholar.)

For instance, it appears in Graham Greene’s novel A Burnt-Out Case (1960), where the protagonist is portrayed by Querry, a world-famous architect, who moves to Africa to live in a leper colony.
