Leaders never settle for the status quo, and they never accept defeat as final. Never giving up is the trademark of intelligent leaders destined for success. Giving up is never a reasonable option for a leader who sees the future as a source of endless possibilities and opportunities.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” – Thomas A. Edison.

For Employees, What are the Potential Benefits of Quiet Quitting?

If quiet quitting is driven by disengagement, if it clearly isn’t a pleasant experience, then why are people doing it?

If you are in a situation where you find yourself disengaged from your work, or your work environment is negatively impacting your well-being (for example, if the culture isn’t inclusive or it is unsafe to speak your truth at work), quiet quitting can have benefits. 

I strongly urge you to explore other options first, however. Have a conversation with your boss or with HR. This isn’t just for the benefit of the organization, but for your benefit as well. You deserve to feel good about the work that you do, to feel proud of your contributions, to feel seen and respected. It’s normal and even healthy for work to challenge us at times, but it shouldn’t drain you.

When you are a small business owner you need to be on top of everything. And we don’t mean that you only need to be on top of what is happening inside your company. You also need to pay attention to your competitors, to the overall market, and also to the new legislation that sometimes affects your small business. This is where the best business news this year, and really the best business news in decades comes into play.

There are a lot of things changing this year for small businesses. As a result of Covid 19 our legislators have given lots of relief to small business owners. Some of the biggest help has been PPP loans(which are 100% forgivable) and EIDL loans(which are at very low interest rates and amortized over 30 years.

As leaders, we all do things we later grow to regret. Leadership coaching aims to help leaders develop habits and behaviors that leave little room for regret. Here’s a look at some leadership behaviors leaders will never regret. The more of these behaviors you adopt, the more successful your leadership will be.

Leaders are human. As such, they make mistakes and do things they regret. Leadership is a convoluted tightrope act of influence and inspiration. It’s easy to go wrong and develop regrets.

The difference between resilient, mature leaders and leaders with immature, fragile egos lies in how they react to what happens to them and their organizations. Leadership coaching focuses on helping leaders adopt mindsets, attitudes, and behaviors that lead to fewer regrets. Those truly successful may even avoid regrets altogether.
