Why Retirement Is NOT An Option.

Rich Gee Group

I read a wonderful article in Newsweek the other day — “More Senior Americans Are Working Past Retirement, Willingly” (link). There was a powerful quote from Dr. Leonard Bailey , a 74 year-old heart surgeon who still puts in 80-90 hour weeks and has no plans to retire, “There’s no reason to stop. If you’re constantly thinking new thoughts and dealing with new problems, it refreshes your brain cells and makes new connections.” I LOVE IT.

Everyone Needs A Team

Joseph Lalonde

H alford E. Luccock once said that no one can whistle a symphony. It takes an orchestra to play it. How profound. How beautiful are these two sentences. And how applicable to our lives. Life wasn’t mean to be done alone. We were meant to have friends and family and acquaintances surround us. Much like Halford Luccock’s quote about the orchestra, we can say the same applies to our lives.

Lead Simply To Lead Well

Joseph Lalonde

I n my years of leadership, I’ve noticed a frustrating phenomenon. That is the process in which we make simple concepts into extremely complicated and convoluted processes.

Leadership can appear very complex when you look at it from the outside.

A WUP Upside The Head: Part 1.4

Steve Farber

Chapter 6 (continued). “Jeez! Look at that guy. Can you believe him? He looks like a dog I used to own. Get a load of that hair. What a fleabag!” He gave me a conspiratorial nudge on the arm. “What sewer did he sleep in last night?”. The current object of Cam’s attention was, indeed, a little scruffy looking, I suppose. He was tall and wiry, and his too-tan arms poked out from the cutoff sleeves of a blue tie-dyed T-shirt.

Stop “Protecting” Women from Challenging Work

Harvard Business Review

Juan Di Nella. A new poll by the Pew Research Center suggests that more than half of men think sexism is a thing of the past; in contrast, only about one-third of women agree. One reason for the disagreement may stem from misunderstandings about the kinds of behavior that constitute sexism. Indeed, an important body of research instigated by Susan Fiske of Princeton and Peter Glick of Lawrence University demonstrates that prejudice toward women can take obvious and not-so-obvious forms.
