How to Get to the Root of Any Issue
How do you deal with workplace conflict? Do you sweep it under the rug? Openly discuss it? 1. How to Make a Good Team Great. One of the toughest obstacles for a leadership team of a company to overcome is “vulnerability-based trust” where it’s safe to have conflict and take risks rather than fear them. It’s human nature to avoid uncomfortable or risky situations, but when you push past it trust can begin to grow and you can transform your good team into a great team. 2. When we duct tape our issues, eventually they all implode on us. This article will show you an approach to solve the root cause of your issues.

We get to the root of the issue while staying open, honest, and vulnerable

Could Rest Be the Secret to Success?
We all want balance in our lives – mental white space to think and be creative. But busyness is entrenched in our culture and (for most of us) in every day of our lives. While constant busyness and packed calendars seem to be taken as markers of success, what if the true secret to entrepreneurial success actually involved the opposite? What if resting more equaled accomplishing more in the end? I loved every part of this article published on Entreprenuer.com: Why Rest Is the Secret to Entrepreneurial Success. We’ve all been thrown out of our regular routines. What if we use this time to rest from the “usual” and focus on investing in our business, building deeper focus, and creating routines?
