Like most, you probably don’t like new things that you can’t control.
You prefer to be in your comfort zone.
(From the article): As we head into the New Year, ask yourself, “Am I too comfortable?”
Ask, “What do I want to accomplish?”
Then, make a decision to leave your comfort zone.
Don’t sit there any longer.
Don’t settle anymore.
And of course, don’t be comfortable.
What do you need to leave your comfort zone to achieve?

![]() Things are tense. It shouldn’t surprise us. In a pluralistic society, there will be pressure points. However, starting with "Help me understand" is sure to be a tension-reducer.

Think about it. If roughly one-third of leaders have a fatal flaw and you are sitting in a management meeting, look to your right and then to your left. As the old joke goes, if in your opinion, neither of these two colleagues has a really serious weakness, then the laws of statistics suggest that you do.

You have heard the concept that “actions speak louder than words.” What does it mean? It means there's often a difference between the language people speak and the values they espouse – or a difference between what they say and what they actually are if you watch their actions. Does your walk talk?

Most people go through life not really getting any smarter. Why? They simply won't do the work required.
It's easy to come home, sit on the couch, watch TV, and zone out until bedtime rolls around. But that's not going to help you get smarter.
Sure, you can go into the office the next day and discuss the details of last night's episode of Mad Men or Game of Thrones. And yes, you know what happened on Survivor. But that's not knowledge accumulation; that's a mind-numbing sedative.
You can acquire knowledge if you want it. In fact, there is a simple formula, which if followed is almost certain to make you smarter over time. Simple but not easy.
It involves a lot of hard work.
We'll call it the Buffett formula, named after Warren Buffett and his longtime business partner at Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger. These two are an extraordinary combination of minds. They are also learning machines.
Better change comes from better learning, here's how it's done by two of the best!
“Who’s my most valuable client?” And he decided it was himself. So he decided to sell himself an hour each day. He did it early in the morning, working on these construction projects and real estate deals. Everybody should do this, be the client, and then work for other people, too, and sell yourself an hour a day.

Any conversation at work where you are asking someone for something is a form of negotiation. Effective managers and leaders use the principles of positive persuasion to get what they need and strengthen relationships in the process.

I know what power is, you say. It’s force, money, influence, freedom, government. Let me ask some questions with the purpose of making you ponder a bit longer about power rather than come up with an answer. I am testing your ideas on power to nudge you on a path of a personal reflection, as the concept of power is a deeply personal, almost primal notion built on our own life experiences.
