Are You Training Yourself to Fail? | 1:36 PM | Peter Bregman | “Did you get done what you wanted to get done today?” Eleanor, my wife, asked me. “Not really,” I said. She laughed. “Didn’t you write the book on getting done what you want to get done?” Some people are naturally pre-disposed to[...]
The Skill that Matters Most | 8:01 AM | Tony Schwartz | Self control is the ability to say no, in the face of temptation, and to take sustained action, despite the difficulty of a given challenge.

The Contagion of Leadership | 2:25 PM | By Justin Menkes | A few years ago, I was on a small regional jet when we smelled smoke. The pilot barked orders into the speaker to put out any lighted cigarette immediately. As it turned out, no one was smoking — the alarm was the result[...]

The precision was measured in millionths[...]
By Scott Eblin | May 9, 2013 A couple of months ago, I was talking with an executive leader I’ve known for a few years. One of the things I’ve noticed about him in that time is that his confidence has grown in a very appropriate and admirable way. I mentioned this to him and,[...]

05/06/2013 hbr.org Each one of us holds a set of beliefs and attitudes — a mindset — that determines how we interpret and respond to situations.
