The little ways that trust is lost. Trust is a funny thing because it’s not tangible and yet its absence is obvious. When we don’t trust people, institutions or situations, we are not allowed to bring our best selves. We may avoid situations entirely. We may hesitate, hedge, obfuscate or even feel that we have to lie. Those same behaviors are directed at us when we’re not trusted.

Sometimes even the best leaders do bad things. If I had to name a common culprit that causes those bad behaviors, I’d pin it on chronic stress. Stress in the workplace has become so normalized that it often goes unnoticed to its victims until bad behavior shows up. When that happens, a stress-infected leader can negatively impact everyone they are connected with, increasing the stress levels throughout an organization.

Guest post from John R Childress: In 1965, when I was a junior in high school and sporty, stylish and innovative cars were all the rage, Ralph Nader, a Harvard trained lawyer, published a book that was both highly controversial and highly influential. The book was called, Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile , and after much persistence and lobbying by Nader, resulted in the establishment of a new government agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administr

It’s a sad truth of our time that the state of leadership is not well regarded. It seems to be associated with a lot of deadly mistakes. Most leaders never show up in headlines or polling data.

Finding new customers is one of the primary challenges facing businesses. While many businesses rely on traditional outbound marketing strategies to find new leads, this can be costly and even ineffective. For most businesses, paid advertising and cold calling alone are no longer enough to attract customers. Consumer expectations have changed with the advent of the Internet, and many will need a better reason than a catchy jingle or a slick logo to become your customer.

Paying per click to Google isn’t how you make money. It isn’t how you make new, organic hits, and it isn’t how you make sales. Instead, it’s how you pay for a click. There is no guarantee how long that person stays there, whether it was a bot, or even a real person. When you market, especially as a small business, you need to be smart. You need to ensure that you are getting the right message out to the right people.

Alija/Getty Images. Congratulations, you got the job! Now you have to decide whether to take it. You’ve done your research and know the ins and outs of the company’s public profile, but how can you assess cultural fit — and if you’d actually be happy working there?

Emma Todd/Getty Images. It’s a common adage that employees are the weak link in corporate cybersecurity. But I believe they are also the best defense, if they are given policies that are easy to follow and not too numerous and complex.

Cyber attackers don’t need to have advanced hacking skills to break into corporate networks; they just need to know how to trick people into opening atta
