3 key benefits of daily rituals
Michael Hyatt
If you're like most people, your days are filled with demands, distractions and interruptions. It can be frustrating wading through the never-ending tasks on the table. If you're to make any headway, you can't give your attention to everyone and everything. You have to identify exactly what needs your attention and what doesn't.

7 ways to create quality culture in your organization
By Felix Zoot Billson
Is it possible to achieve a true quality culture in your organization? The simple answer is yes! To do this, however, you must first understand what quality culture is. Quality culture is a working behavior or collection of behaviors encompassing every employee within a company. It is a way of working where employees strive for the best at every level. Having a strong structure in place is essential for creating quality culture. Being flexible within that structure is equally important. Establishing your company's best practices is the perfect place to start.

Rethinking leadership: Finding your voice in difficult moments
Embrace the Resistance
When we join the fire service, one of our primary responsibilities is to take care of the resources given to us by our organization and community. Stewardship, which is taking care of what's entrusted to you by someone else, is at the heart of our mission and maintains the public trust in the fire service. Knowing the weight of this obligation and expectation, senior members teach and coach new hires to take responsibility for the state of their station, apparatus, equipment, and uniforms.

What accountability means
Kevin Eikenberry
I've often said that accountability is the longest four-letter word in business. Not because I think it is a dirty word — quite the opposite — but that is how many see it. The problem isn't the word or the spelling, but the understanding of what accountability means and how valuable it is to all of us. Once people truly understand the word, most will be drawn toward it, rather than shying away.

Conquer your self-doubt in meetings
Harvard Business Review
Self-doubt can afflict anyone, especially in meetings. Individuals may overreact to others' reactions or compare themselves to what they see of others. As a result, they self-edit their contributions, robbing themselves and the team of ideas and hiding their true feelings, which fester into further feelings of doubt and resentment.

How to measure employee productivity fairly and consistently
By Grace Lau
Productivity is an interesting concept. While the ability to work from anywhere has its perks, many of us also feel that it has altered our productivity levels compared to the days of working in an office. It can be hard to track productivity consistently and fairly. It's all too easy to favor certain employees for particular tasks or to only track productivity intermittently — when there's a performance review coming up, for instance. If you track productivity intermittently, you won’t reap the full benefits and you could alienate some employees along the way. Luckily, there are a few simple steps you can follow to ensure that you're measuring productivity the right way.

Fast Company
As many parts of the world reopen for business, we shouldn't expect workplaces to look exactly as they did before the pandemic. Many companies have announced that workers can continue working from anywhere permanently. Meanwhile, some employees are eager to return to the office, while others are opting for something in between: working remotely while gathering in person for meetings or special events.

Lolly Daskal
Good leadership is focused on others, but self-serving leadership undermines that principle to focus on the ego and the symptoms can take hold and begin damaging your leadership before you're even aware.

What leaders get wrong about workplace well-being
Forbes
"Well-being" is one of the hottest words in business today as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus itself is an existential threat to people. What's more, the mass shift to remote working that we've experienced over the past year or so, with the accompanying pressure to be "always on," has fueled what happiness expert Jennifer Moss has described as a "burnout epidemic."

A different way to think about leadership coaching
Kevin Eikenberry
There are many ways leaders can improve in their work. One of the most targeted and helpful is providing them with leadership coaching. There is little doubt that a skilled and experienced coach is one of the biggest assets in helping a willing leader grow and become more confident and effective. While most will agree with that statement, the challenges and resistances to leadership coaching are many and real. We want to help reduce those barriers.

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.

3 ways to prepare for a good night's sleep
Michael Hyatt
The health effects of neglecting sleep are no secret. Cardiovascular disease, elevated stress hormones and reduced immunity — just to name a few. Less noted is the effect skimping on sleep has on our work performance. Have you ever had one of those days when you're just dragging, when no amount of coffee helps, and you can't seem to get out of the fog and focus on anything you need to get done? Productivity suffers tremendously when we're not adequately rested.

Connecting: Learning to say no
The Business Journals
Alana Muller writes: Years ago, I learned that I could fill up my days and nights professionally — to max capacity — if I would only give away my services free of charge. There are plenty of takers for high quality (and some of more questionable quality, too), inexpensive or complementary, products and services. And, of course, everyone wants a bargain.
