Push or Pull
I have been thinking about the various blogs on leadership lately, and it strikes me that there is a difference of opinion amongst our community on whether employee performance is best improved by pushing or pulling. I believe the best leaders incorporate both into their style.

What Is the Importance of Attitudes to Workplace Diversity?
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than fact. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstance, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, intelligence or skill. It will make or break a company, a church or a home.

Smart Women Keep Their Inner Door Open
The article is about making sure that women are in touch with their intuitive selves. It’s important to create the space and time to make sure that we are living our own preferred lives rather than the lives of other people around us. Life is so busy today that if we are not careful it will slip away if we do not set aside that time to get clear and focused on moving our lives forward.

What are Some Best Practices in the Area of Sabbatical Leave
Debating on whether or not you should implement that sabbatical leave practice? There are ways to use this sometimes forgotten policy and to use it well.

There are, however, steps that you can take while you are out to prepare for re-entry. And many of the items can be fun, rewarding and can keep you intellectually stimulated.

Service and Wellbeing
When time is tight and energy levels are low, it is hard to think of the needs of others. When frustrations are high and worry is constant, it feels like we are the ones who need support and help. But we find some magic in the universe when we help others. It is a profound step to reclaiming deliberate control over one's life.

“TOP TEN TIPS TO EFFECTIVELY WORK WITH POLICY MAKERS”
We are sometimes called on to work with policy makers in a variety of organizations we are associated with in our personal, business and volunteer lives. Working with these policy makers can be very rewarding and can be very frustrating. Since 1970 I have been working with policy makers at all levels of government, non-profits, businesses, institutions and other organizations. And from the experience of those years, I developed a list of the top 10 tips to effectively work with policy makers. I have summarized those tips below:

Life After Business School
Thinking about using your MBA? Your resume is something like your business school primary application. It is the place to list all of your educational, work, and volunteer experiences.
The 80-20 Rule and Client Drama
The 80-20 Rule, AKA the Pareto Principle, states that “for many events, 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.” This can be observed in any volunteer organization, for example, a church, where 20% of the people do 80% of the work. In our eight-plus years of doing web development at Pelago, we have concluded that the inverse of this rule applies to client drama. That is, 80% of your negative experiences will be caused by 20% of your clients (and maybe even a smaller number like 5%). As a small business owner, how do you navigate this effect? You get tough.
YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE REALLY VOLUNTEERS
At a recent leadership breakfast held through Lehigh University's Iacocca Institute, the speaker made mention that employees are really just volunteers. And it made me think…..if employees are volunteers at our organization, meaning they volunteer to accept employment with us…that means they can volunteer to work and they can volunteer to leave.

Hard Work and Success -- One Follows the Other
The point here is simple -- and sobering for those who are looking for career success shortcuts. Be willing to go the extra mile. Create custom resumes for every job for which you apply. Once you get a job, work harder than others. Volunteer for unpopular jobs -- and then do a great job. Yes, if you want to become an outstanding performer, it's important to be a lifelong learner, set and achieve high goals, and get organized. But it's also important to do something a lot simpler -- and totally in your control; be willing to work hard. Hard work will help build your brand and put you at the top of the promotion list, and bottom of the layoff list.
You Have the Right to...Live Guilt Free!
Right #7 You Have the Right to...Live Guilt Free! There's a lot of pressure to have it all, and I believe you can't! What we do have today is more choices than our mothers or grandmothers could ever have dreamed of. And that adds to our pressure and our stress and our guilt. We feel guilty going to work and leaving the children. We feel guilty staying at home and not bringing in an income to help lighten the load of our husbands. We feel guilty not being able to volunteer like we think we should. So what's a woman to do? Easy... Look at life as a Buffet Table. You've got just one plate (your life) and many choices on this table. You're allowed to choose anything as long as you understand that there will be a cashier at the end and a price tag attached. If you decide to go to work, is there a price tag attached to that choice?
