Leadership is hard. It means making difficult decisions, stepping out of your comfort zone, standing on the edge of own greatness. It requires that you have guts. There are many who have the title of leader. But the only ones who truly deserve the title are those who can weather the storms and stand in their struggles. Because true leadership requires great men and women to bring all the courage, boldness, toughness, determination and audacity they can summon.

Forbes, Oct. 24, 2016 : “In a recent survey of thousands of workers across the U.S., 70% reported working more than 40 hours a week and feeling burned out. While everyone experiences daily stress in some form, when it is severe enough and doesn’t let up, burnout is the result. Some learn to live with the feeling of burnout, but the implications of this on your physical and mental health are pressing and real.

It’s an age-old question: Are we influenced more by nature or nurture? Applied to leadership, the question becomes: Are great leaders born or made? It’s one of the most frequently asked questions in leadership development. Let’s start with the definition of “leader.” My good friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Hersey, defined leadership as “working with and through others to achieve objectives.

Is the strategy, psychology and process used to get a customer to say "yes" the first time, the same for getting them to say "yes" the second time? "Absolutely not," says strategic marketing expert Noah Fleming. "To better serve your customer, it is necessary to understand the psychology at each step of the client's journey and what you can do to influence the customer to continue to do business with you over and over again--no matter what type of business you're in.".

The way you begin your day often determines the quality of the day. For this reason, throughout my adult Christian life, I’ve tried to spend some time focused on the God I love and trust. It truly does make a difference. I often encounter people, however, who want to begin a daily quiet time, but they aren’t sure how. They’ve perhaps tried before, but it didn’t last.

In his Nicomachean Ethics , Aristotle states that it is a fact that “all knowledge and every pursuit aims at some good,” but then continues, “What then do we mean by the good?” That, in essence, encapsulates the ethical dilemma. We all agree that we should be good and just, but it’s much harder to decide what that entails.

And while much has been written to speculate about whether mergers improve or harm economic welfare, there is little empirical evidence supporting either side of the argument.
