Business is hard these days. Markets are volatile, morale is low, and the world faces new challenges daily. In times like this, it’s easy to fall into a slump. But as a leader, you set the tone, and it’s important to create positivity. When you reshape your mindset to positivity, you find opportunity in challenges and benefits in drawbacks. People with positive attitudes remain hopeful and see the best even in difficult situations.

One of a leader's most important functions is serving as a shock absorber , soaking up forces generated by one part of the organization (or from outside the organization) and distributing them elsewhere, and doing so in such a way that the entire system operates more effectively. This is a simple metaphor, but it has some implications that are worth making explicit: A shock absorber cushions the blow--it doesn't prevent the flow of force.

Companies and their leaders are facing increasing pressure today to speak out on political and societal issues. Where once a clear boundary may have existed between our professional and personal lives, as the two blend together and trust in key institutions such as government, media and NGOs continues to erode, business leaders are compelled to demonstrate accountability and take a stance.

In most cases we start with the assumption that a better relationship is possible and that even a long-running conflict can be resolved. This usually entails the following steps in some form: Having both parties engage in an ongoing dialogue about the relationship.

Anyone who’s tried to break a bad habit knows how hard it is. And the older we get and the longer our habits persist, the harder it gets. Most of us in leadership have at least one bad professional habit. Maybe you check your messages constantly. Or you might be known for being 10 minutes late to every meeting. Maybe you work through every weekend, hold negative thoughts, or mix too much personal business into the workday.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
