Jerome is desperate. He drags himself to his office job every day, the one he’s had for 4 years now. He clocks in at 9, and starts doing client calls until 12.

Forbes, May 26, 2016 : “Time pressure may cause professionals to work more to accomplish their daily responsibilities. Oftentimes, this means rushing too quickly from task to task. This can make it especially challenging to be fully present with what we are doing, especially if the previous task was stressful.

Unless you’ve limited your practice to responding to RFPs, winning new consulting projects involves asking questions. Many questions. Like, “What are your objectives?” “By when does this need to be completed?” “How many Navy Seals will I have to train?” and, “Can I negotiate free access to the ice cream machine in your cafeteria?” Some inquiries are uncomfortable, and for them you need a particular “pre-question” which I’ll explain in a moment.

Most of us have first-hand experience with just how ridiculous stereotypes can be. I, for example, proudly break the stereotype of the reserved British person by being blunt and speaking my mind; seldom will you find me acquiescing about things I’m passionate about for the sake of English decorum. While politeness is a stereotype that doesn’t personally cause me much grief, it’s important to remember that many stereotypes are actually quite dangerous—even the ones that seem harmless.

HBR STAFF. Leaders have demanding schedules, and often find themselves trading sleep for more work time – effectively trading away work quality to get more work quantity. Some of my recent research indicates that this idea of compromising quality applies to the concept of leadership as well, with important implications for the performance of your team.
