Leadership: A resource in demand but often limited in supply
Forbes
While few would question the importance of leadership in any organization, it is often in short supply — despite the evident benefits. There are those who believe leadership is a trait you are born with, but many others who have studied leadership believe it to be a skill. You may have certain inherent attributes that make it easier to learn and master leadership, but it is still a skill that can be developed by anyone who is willing to put forth the necessary time and effort.

5 components of charismatic leadership
Skip Prichard
Charismatic leaders excel in their ability to formulate and articulate an inspirational vision, and their behaviors and actions signal to followers that they — and by inference their mission — are extraordinary. Individuals choose to follow charismatic leaders, not primarily because of any formal authority the leader may have, but because of perceptions of extraordinariness.

A guide to an effective hiring process
Michael Hyatt
Over the years, I have found a key element that can drive the success of your business more than anything else is effective hiring. According to a study by Harvard Business Review, as much as 80% of employee turnover stems from bad hiring decisions.
When it comes to hiring, it takes time and practice to learn how to streamline the process and find the right candidate for the job. It's important to not only make sure your candidate is qualified, but also is a great cultural fit who is bought into your vision.

How to cultivate psychological safety at your workplace
Lolly Daskal
Psychological safety is still a fairly new concept, but its importance is being reinforced by a growing body of research, and it's something that leaders everywhere should be thinking about — whether their teams are working in person or online.
In a nutshell, psychological safety describes a state in which people feel free to ask for help, share ideas, seek feedback, admit mistakes, ask about what they don't know, try new things and voice their views.

Fast Company
Peak performance is a state of consciousness where you're in a rapt moment of attention, totally absorbed and focused on the task at hand. Everything else disappears, and time seems to pass quickly. Often called "flow" or "the zone," it's a state where your mental and physical performance goes through the roof.

Make time for small talk in your virtual meetings
Harvard Business Review
It was an unusual confession from a CEO. "During my last staff meeting, we must have spent 40% of the time talking about nothing," Jorge said. "We were just hanging out, shooting the breeze, like the old days. It was one of the most enjoyable, productive calls we've had since we shut the office." However, afterwards, he went on to say, "a few people complained."

Promoted by School of EMS
Online education is not new, but it has been slow to be embraced by vocational schools, especially for the Fire and EMS industry. Students enroll in online school for the increased flexibility and cost savings offered by doing coursework at home - or at the station!
So how can such a hands-on discipline successfully be taught with the instructor and student in different cities?
Short answer: Not easily, and not just anyone can do it. It takes a dedicated, specialized school to efficiently educate paramedics in an online hybrid model without sacrificing quality.

Win with just three points
By Bob Harris
Sixteen years ago, Gary LaBranche, CAE, addressed the Tallahassee Society of Association Executives. He was the CEO at Association Forum of Chicagoland.

Psychologists hold that complacency might result from that is known as "confirmation bias," which is the tendency to look for, or interpret, information in a way that conforms with one's currently held beliefs.

Using smart experiments to succeed
Skip Prichard
One of my mentors in business would often talk about the power of business experiments. He would advocate trying something in a small way, testing it, learning and then releasing it fully only after the test. By doing this, we would improve the customer experience dramatically, release products that were more aligned to customer needs, and price services optimally.
