"What am I creating?" is a critical leadership question you must ask yourself every day. Personally, it aligns your choices and actions. Organizationally, it orients your team’s choices—it creates alignment. The reason for organizations is to harness the collective power of the group. WE can accomplish more than I, and our collective efforts are most impressive when they surge forward in unison. Alignment produces a multiplier effect that demonstrates that the whole IS greater than the sum of the parts. Teamwork, however, can also be challenging and frustrating as we subjugate our needs and impulses and emphasize consideration of others and emotional intelligence. On the downside, teamwork can rob us of our spontaneous expression and blur our coveted individuality. On the upside, teamwork can provide a platform from which we can accomplish meaningful and breathtaking achievements.

I once asked the CEO of a technology company how his employees were dealing with a proposed change. “We’ve presented all the facts,” he replied. “But it would be much easier if people weren’t so emotional!”

Talent management and retention is perennially at the top of CEO’s most pressing worries. A company’s leadership pipeline is expected to deliver its “next generation” of ready-now leaders. The key to ensuring an organisation has the leaders it needs when it needs them, is to accelerate the performance of future leaders including high potential employees, so that their skills and leadership abilities are as strong as possible when they are needed particularly as leaders transition from role to role.

Meet Louise
Louise is the Chief Executive Officer of a major oil and gas exploration company based in San Antonio, TX, USA. She’s a real positive energizer, and positive thinker, too. As a leader, a lot of people Louise interacts with view her as super optimistic, fully-charged, spiritual, strong in character, and emotionally intelligent. In their eyes, she’s a lady who inspires and excites others, and that’s why they follow her. Louise never panics. She’s from Texas –the Texas way is to get down to brass tacks! When she realizes that a real good project has just been trashed, she slows down, thinks and... bounces back pretty well soon. After all, there’s more than one way to rope a steer.

Rapid technological change, increasing global competition, and economic uncertainty all contribute to companies’ increasing interest on creativity and innovation.
Companies need to be able to generate new ideas to fuel growth. At the same time, they need to be able to increase both the effectiveness and efficiency of the innovation process. However, it is very difficult to generate high quality innovation and see it through to implementation. Still, there is a great deal that business leaders can do to improve innovation effectiveness and efficiency.

No one seems to really say what meditation is. They do say what it does. I don’t believe that a meditator would get the same great benefits, which meditation offers, if they sit and think about their problems. It becomes our challenge to sustain our focus on the object of concentration. So let’s define meditation as the consistent flow of focused mental energy, whether it’s on a mantra, following your breath, or focusing on a candle flame. The state of meditation occurs when the mediators’ mind becomes absorbed into the object of meditation. One of the goals of meditation is attain a “formless reality,” which is freedom from the obstacles associated with the mind. There are thousands of meditation techniques and no one has proven that one meditation technique is better than another.

What's the difference between an art museum and an art warehouse? It’s the empty space. That's the distinction. An art warehouse is designed as storage with as many pieces stuffed in as possible. In a warehouse, allowing patrons to enjoy the art is not the intention where as an art museum is mostly empty space, which makes it easier for patrons to enjoy each piece.
