In endurance training, you can apply simple rules of restraint to ramp up and ramp down your training program ahead of a race. These rules of thumb help you make important trade-offs between exertion and recovery. For example, one rule of restraint I’ve always found helpful for running is the “10% Rule.” This rule says that each week, you only increase the length of your longest run by about 10 percent.

By Linda Fisher Thornton Great leadership is often defined based on efficiency, effectiveness or profitability, but that's no way to define a journey of character building and authenticity. There's much more to the story that needs to be told.

What happens when you set a goal and fail to achieve it? In January of this year I set a personal goal. Made it public on this web site. Tweeted about it almost daily. Posted weekly updates on Facebook. I worked at it just about every day – hours of exertion, sweat, even a little actual blood. The day of reckoning came last Saturday, and in the end, I was not equal to the test.

In today’s fierce business climate, new entrepreneurs are far more likely to target online audiences instead of offline ones. Running a company in the digital arena can reduce overheads while the potential for profit is far greater also. Those possibilities should not fool you into thinking that the journey will be easy. Competition in the online arena is stronger than ever.

Marion Barraud for HBR. There’s a lot of advice out there about how to make meetings more efficient and productive. And while it’s true that leading focused, deliberate conversations is critical to organizational performance, meetings aren’t just about delivering results.

I recently conducted a study with a large, multinational company to figure out how to increase employee engagement. After the data collection was complete, I ran the data analysis and found some intriguing results that I was excited to share with the firm. But a troubling result became apparent in my analysis: This organization had rampant discrimination against women, especially ambitious, passionate, talented women.

Curiosity has been hailed as one of the most critical competencies for the modern workplace. It’s been shown to boost people’s employability. Countries with higher curiosity enjoy more economic and political freedom, as well as higher GDPs. It is therefore not surprising that, as future jobs become less predictable, a growing number of organizations will hire individuals based on what they could learn, rather than on what they already know.

Visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating. You often don’t know what to expect. You’d love to ask, but you’re not sure who to ask or even if your question sounds silly. It’s not. Probably others have the same question as you. Recently someone who watches our services on television said they would love to come in person, but they didn’t think they had anything appropriate to wear.
