How do you lead change?
Kevin Eikenberry
Perhaps you have never thought about yourself as responsible for change leadership. Yes, you know that change is around you, but most people think about how they will manage change for themselves and those around them. While we must manage many aspects of a change effort, that is something different than change leadership. If you don't know the difference, you may not consider the question: "How do I lead change?"

Similarly, if you don't make sound financial decisions, your business cannot succeed. Half of small businesses fail within five years in part due to a lack of good financial decisions. The following are some financial choices that will benefit your business.

Want to drastically improve your thinking? A Navy SEAL officer says try these 5 ideas
Inc.
Almost all of us are faced with high-stakes decisions nearly every day, no matter our industry or role. Often, we try to create rules to govern future behavior and take the uncertainty out of the decision-making process, but it's clear to anyone who faces tough decisions on a regular basis that the circumstances and details are different nearly every time, and black-and-white rules rarely lead to optimal choices.

Becoming aware of your blindspots
Kevin Eikenberry
One of the things you learn in drivers training is about the existence of blindspots and why becoming aware of your blindspots is critical to your safety.

How to balance the demands of modern business leadership
Skip Prichard
Leadership experts Chris Lewis and Pippa Malmgren, in The Infinite Leader: Balancing the Demands of Modern Business Leadership, argue that leaders must balance between analytic logic and intuition. With this balanced approach, leaders find their creativity and productivity soaring and results follow.
Often the lack of this balance between the long-term strategy and the short-term operational demands is the cause of numerous problems from crisis to scandal to poor results.

Forbes
Tony Gambill writes: I was recently on a podcast and one of the questions the host asked me was, "How would you define authenticity?" The question immediately brought me back to a recent experience I had with a rising executive.

Virtual leadership presence
Business 2 Community
Since the pandemic drove us to work behind screens, we have witnessed or read about a variety of stories related to someone's presence on a virtual meeting. Interacting virtually with colleagues is here to stay, and how we portray ourselves via video matters. It can be the difference between your colleagues embracing your ideas and those same colleagues not retaining your ideas at all.

Successfully encouraging productivity for remote and in-office employees
By Indiana Lee
Since the start of the pandemic, many businesses have chosen to incorporate working from home as part of a more agile structure that includes elements of both remote operations and in-office work. Some have certain workers always on-site and others spread across the world, while a lot of companies are taking a hybrid approach that sees their employees split their schedule between the office and home. Whichever route your business is taking, one of your key concerns is likely to be maintaining a high level of productivity.

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.

Michael Hyatt
Working remotely can be convenient and productive, but it can also be frustrating, particularly when it comes to meetings. We have all experienced terrible Zoom meetings.

It's time to free the middle manager
Harvard Business Review
The shift to remote work has taken its toll on us all, but middle managers have faced particular challenges over the last year. A global survey of over 3,000 remote knowledge workers found that middle managers (defined as those managing 1-6 people) are 46% less satisfied with their jobs than senior executives (those managing at least 15 people), they have struggled more than twice as much as executives when it comes to maintaining a sense of belonging, and they feel more stressed and less productive than their more senior colleagues.

It's not perfectionism that's hurting us. It's our approach to it
By Julian Reeve
Finding a perfectionist that isn't in some way proud to be one is like finding out you've won $100 million on the lottery. It's not unheard of, but it's rare! Why? Because perfectionists believe their strong work ethic, superior attention to detail and ability to achieve more than everyone else puts them in a class above the rest. For the most part, they're right!
