How to develop a courageous culture
Skip Prichard
The greatest tragedies are not based on pitched battles where life-long enemies are pitted against each other. Those are fun for action movies where the hero and the villain have very clear roles and opposing goals. However, that's not tragic; it's melodramatic. Tragedy is when two people have the same goals but don't know it.

Take back control of your schedule
Michael Hyatt
There are a fixed number of hours in the day. If you don't intentionally plan out how you are going to spend them, they will inevitably be filled by the needs of others. After years of allowing my time to be almost completely filled by work, I realized I needed margin.

The Feedback Sandwich: The sandwich no one wants to eat
Kevin Eikenberry
Everyone I know likes a good sandwich. We all have our preferences, but name a sandwich, and someone you know will like it. There is one sandwich that you won't find on any menu, but rather in many books on leadership and coaching. It is called the Feedback Sandwich. It's time to talk about this mostly unpalatable offering and provide solutions for something better.
