Excellent article from @feistycoach - quote below.
Trust your instincts. You are right on. Don’t second guess yourself. – Unknown When I do all things from this perspective, anything is possible. Even peace, non-violence, and the courage to live life without fear. When I am living on purpose, and I allow source to work through me, as me, I know that I am connected to all that needs to be present in that day.

So, what’s the difference between productive and unproductive givers? The difference, according to Grant, is that successful givers surround themselves primarily with other givers; they give in ways that increase social bonds; and they really invest in others in ways that actually make a difference—making their contributions more gratifying.

The costs to a person who does not know when to quit can be enormous. In economics it's known as sunk cost fallacy, though the costs are more than financial. While we recognize the fallacy almost immediately in others, it's harder to see in ourselves. Why? There are several powerful, largely unconscious psychological forces at work. We may throw good money after bad or waste time in a dead-end relationship because we haven't come up with an alternative; or because we don't want to admit to our friends and family, or to ourselves, that we were wrong. But the most likely culprit is this innate, overwhelming aversion to sunk costs.

Resolving conflicts can be one of the hardest parts of a leader's job. Here are 10 phrases that can be used to dissolve any problem. Via F. Thunus, Merdrignac Soizic
John Michel's curator insight,
May 24, 6:12 AM
Conflicts are an inevitable part of running a small business. In fact, effectively resolving conflicts within your company can actually build a strong and diverse team that will keep fresh ideas and creativity flowing. If everyone agrees with the boss's point of view, your company's direction and efforts will get stale fast. That being said, too much conflict isn't desirable either. To achieve the delicate balance, you need to have the skills to intervene when a healthy debate goes awry. Delete the scoop?

It is so important to teach your employees to speak truth to power. If your management team has 10 people and they ALL agree with you ALL of the time, then 9 are redundant. It's the ability to harnass a variety of perspectives that distinguishes a high performing team. Delete the scoop?

We are taught what to do as leaders, but we have to learn how to be good leaders. “Being” involves understanding yourself, your context, and what you want your future to “be.” “Being” a leader involves being fully present with a person, understanding their needs and truly listening to their concerns. A leader in “being” is one who puts away their smart phone, turns away from the computer, focuses on the other person in the office and makes “being” with them the most important priority in the moment Delete the scoop?
