But these days we live in the age of self-help. That's great news for those with mental trauma or problematic personalities. Help abounds to assist people who want to become the best, happiest version of themselves, alleviating a lot of human misery.

Everyone agrees that micromanagement is a bad thing, but not everyone knows how to identify and correct it.
In my experience, micromanagement manifests itself in the following five avoidable behaviors: 1. Measuring too many things. The advantage of technology is that you can measure your business more accurately. The disadvantage is that technology makes it too easy to measure too much. Measuring so much that it's not clear what the data really means is classic micromanagement. What to do instead: For every job, select one or two metrics that define success for that job. Ignore everything else. Via The Learning Factor

If you're on the hunt for a new position that will let you shine, practice demonstrating these top seven traits that CEOs look for in star employees.
Your resume can get you the interview. But these traits can get you hired: 1. Happiness No one wants to work with an unhappy person. Negativity, unnecessary drama, and melancholy attitudes can bring the entire company down, so although your own personal happiness may not seem important when applying for a job, it most certainly is. Happiness also reflects your ability to tackle challenges without becoming discouraged. If you show the hiring CEO that you're a positive, mentally healthy person, your chances of becoming the company's next star employee will vastly improve.

Stories that reveal difference that defined... Martin Luther King. The Eiffel Tower. Benjamin Franklin. Oprah Winfrey and more.
This is an attitude adjuster and a piece to refer to often.

Great read about finding your voice. Make it personal! There are many blogs, articles and books about Being Exceptional. And they all seem to copy the same lessons and well known examples. |
Not the perpetually sunny person you think you should be? Stop beating yourself up. Your worst traits aren't so bad after all.
