The flowers that are in full bloom are wonderful. The weeds that have taken over one corner are terrible. To get my garden in world class condition and ready for the competitive eye of my neighbor is exactly what every leader must do: seed, feed, and weed. Consider the “season.” In today’s 24-hour global economy, it would appear that there is no season, nothing that distinguishes night from day.

“Discipline equals freedom.” This statement sounds like a contradiction because the word ‘discipline’ is most often used in the context of punishment or reining in improper behavior. In leadership, however, discipline creates power.

If you’ve worked for any length of time, you’ve probably wondered, “Why is it so hard to find good leaders?” You’re not alone. Not only are employers finding it tricky to find qualified help, management & executive roles have become increasingly difficult to fill. These employers can only expect retirement to continue to raid the Baby Boomer portion of their leadership ranks.

Today is my 55 th birthday. Yes, I said it. It’s part of my new policy of radical transparency. I’m now older than my parents were when Diane and I got married. Heck, I’m older than they were when we had, Andy, our first child. There was a time in my life when 55 sounded really old. Now that I’m there, I realize how relative that is. Old compared to what or who?

Stop hating on people. You may protest, “I don’t hate on people.” Technically, you’re probably right. You don’t literally hate your teammates. But, you do something that feels like hate.

Can internal HR professionals do an effective job of coaching leaders? Definitely. Will most internal HR coaches be effective in coaching leaders? Maybe. My friend, Linda Sharkey, did some outstanding research on internal HR coaching when she was at GE Capital a few years ago. The findings were very clear: Not only could internal coaches do as good a job as external coaches, internal coaches often did a better job than external coaches!

I was reading the sample pages of An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Culture. The book described the difference approaches different companies take with people. They described a practice at Bridgewater, an unquestionably successful company. One of their keys is this: Bridgewater’s leaders believe you become a one-in-ten-thousand company by hiring one-in-ten-thousand-type people.

What would you do if you were offered a new job and were told you would be fired after one year but you weren’t allowed to quit during your mandate? That you would be paid peanuts compared to your old comfortable job, and you would be harassed and bashed in the media constantly. And you wouldn’t be allowed to complain. You would probably say “no thanks,” right?

As explained in John Baldoni's, book, Lead With Purpose , Marshall Goldsmith suggests all leaders make it a habit to regularly ask their employees these six questions: Where do you think we should be going? Where do you think you and your part of the business should be going? What do you think you're doing well? If you were the leader, what ideas would you have for you?

If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24. Years ago when we were in business, Cheryl and I went through a difficult season in life. We had had such success, but times got hard. Dealing with employees, cash flow, banks and trying to increase sales so we could make payroll made for many sleepless nights.

Or, are you busy ‘doing’ without setting a clear direction? Vision without action is a daydream, action without vision is a nightmareJapanese […].

In my new book Negotiating the Impossible , I offer numerous principles and tactics for negotiating effectively when things get ugly — especially when you don’t have sufficient “money or muscle” to use as leverage. This could be a deadlocked deal, an escalating conflict, or any situation where there is mistrust, antagonism, or a seeming unwillingness to engage in good faith.

Your colleague sent you a passive-aggressive email and you want to sit down and address it face to face. Or perhaps you’ve got some tough feedback you need to give to a coworker. Or maybe you’ve decided to discuss some growing tension on your team with your boss.

Thanks to online tracking technology , marketers no longer have to rely on assumptions about consumer behavior. Instead, they can deliver ads targeted specifically to individuals based on their behavior online. Marketers have long known that this type of personalized advertising is more effective at generating both clicks and conversions , but they have not fully understood the consumer psychology that makes these behaviorally targeted ads so effective.

laura schneider FOR HBR. The rapid proliferation of mobile platforms and the digital services that move across them are transforming the world in countless ways. Overnight, these technologies create billionaires and business models so beautifully unique and freakishly inspired that we call them “unicorns.” But perhaps no segment of the world’s population stands to benefit more from this amazing era than the roughly 2.5 billion people around the globe subsisting on less than $2

Profit is king, as the saying goes. There are people who disagree with that adage, of course, some saying that cash and cash flow are more important (and too often ignored). But no one would disagree that you need to monitor your company’s profitability to ensure its financial health.

Many online platform businesses, such as Uber and Airbnb, have so far had a pretty easy ride when it comes to regulation. Your Airbnb host probably doesn’t have to worry about city fire-code inspections, for example, and it’s up to you, informed only by the driver review on the app, to decide whether you think the Uber vehicle you are about to step into is safe and road-worthy.

Russia has always been seen as a challenging place to do business, especially among Western multinationals. But despite perceptions of entrenched corruption, economic turbulence, and political risk, many big firms have invested and maintained a presence in the country. And while two years of shrinking GDP growth , sanctions , and a volatile ruble have led some companies like GM to leave the market, there has not been a large-scale exodus of MNCs from Russia.
