You don’t set the strategic priorities, but you are accountable to make it happen—often without the influence to get all the resources you would like (or need) to get the job done. And every day, your team looks to you for support and a voice, which you may or may not able to provide.

I'm often the dumbest person on a Zoom call. Seriously. I talk to a lot of people who are experts in their field (data science, AI, global supply chains) and I rely on their expertise to educate me so that I can write a story and inform others.

“Touch is one of the most forgotten languages.” —Osho A recent study published on TED looks at the effects on our wellbeing due to prolonged isolation. The study looks particularly at the impact of lack of touch. “ Our bodies are designed to respond to touch, and not just to sense the environment around us. We actually have a network of dedicated nerve fibers in our skin that detect and emotionally respond to the touch of another person — affirming our relationships, our social connections and e

“We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.” ~ Arianna Huffington. A hectic work schedule, increased responsibility, new technology, and the need to read and respond to a daily deluge of email and voicemail place huge demands on your work life. With all this pressure, you might feel as if your work is a prison that you can never escape.

Some years ago, when my son, Josh, was small, I listened to him and his friends playing football in the garden. There was a noisy running commentary, and then a furious argument exploded. Was it a goal, or did the ball hit the post? The post was a T-shirt on the grass. The fantastic thing is they had lost the football sometime earlier over the fence into the neighbour's garden.

“Before you become a leader, success is all about growing yourself. After you become a leader, success is about growing others.” – Jack Welch. Research has shown that as leaders rise up in the ranks , their proficiency in nurturing talent declines rather than increases. Why? Too often, they’re not promoted based on their managerial ability. They’re promoted because of the skills that allowed them to excel in their previous role—not in the role they’re about to step into.
