Key Takeaways
Gen Z is focused on the "emotional paycheck" — a blend of meaningful work, personal fulfillment and work-life integration.
They seek authentic experiences, flexibility, purposeful work and organizations whose values mirror their own. This mindset is redefining the meaning of professional success.
Companies need to gain a deeper understanding of Gen Z's perspectives and adapt by offering flexible work arrangements, transparent communication, robust training programs and a culture...

3 Financial Mistakes That Could Ruin Your Retirement Plans

As a leader, how do you respond to defeat and failure? Do they demoralize you? Do they tempt you to throw up your hands in resignation and cause you to quit after an unforeseen setback?
Socrates said to know thyself, and how a leader confronts defeat is an outstanding “poker tell” into understanding their psychology and leadership style. Are you one of those leaders that will claim all the credit when it comes to victory, but when you taste failure, you immediately seek out scapegoats and peo...

It is commonly received wisdom that extroverts must make better business leaders. After all, extroverts are known for being outgoing and gregarious. They seem to make social connections effortlessly. They aren’t known for hiding their light under a bushel.
It seems only natural that they would make good business leaders. They aren’t shy when it comes to making their thoughts known and they seem to have the charisma to get people to follow them. You shouldn’t discount introverts though.

We’ve all heard how important it is to achieve "work-life balance." The ubiquitous piece of advice starts with the idea that we are all stressed out and over-worked -- a bunch of workaholics who need to get a life. Those who talk about work-life balance stress the need to integrate more of your personal life (aka, your life) into a busy work life.
But is this right? Why should you treat your life like a competition between the dreary work that you have to do and all the parts of your life tha...

Implementing company change isn’t easy. Just ask any of the high-profile company executives profiled on the TV series, Undercover Boss. Frequently, they find out that a change they championed, a new system or policy is a failure and deflating the organization. The change doesn’t help employees serve customers better, or it makes their jobs even harder.
In fact, the change has the opposite effect of what it was intended to do when not executed effectively.
Do you want to avoid having an Underc...

When we picture someone who is a leader, we tend to imagine a certain kind of person. Certainly, the so-called “Type-A” personality is high on the list — someone who might be called a perfectionist or hard-charging. We imagine someone who is supremely confident in their own abilities, makes decisions quickly and works fast; someone who occasionally seems arrogant in their self-confidence and who consistently succeeds in whatever they try to do.
The paradox of leadership is that sometimes actu...

Imagine that you were planning a trip. A trip to someplace you haven’t been before but have always wanted to go. Would you just hop on any old plane and hope that you get to where you want to be? When you get to your destination would you just wander aimlessly around and hope that you get to see all the sites that you have been wanting to see? I didn’t think so. Obviously, if you are going to spend money going on a vacation, you will want to be sure that you...

Making the decision to start a business is a lot like deciding to go into training for a marathon. You don’t just show up on the day of the marathon, lace up your sneakers and start running. That would be unwise and you would simply be begging for an injury.
In this scenario, it is highly unlikely you would actually be able to finish the marathon. Every runner knows that you have to go into training for sixteen to twenty weeks in advance. You have to set a training schedule, stick to it, and ...
