6 Things Leaders Never Stop Doing : John Mattone Global, Inc.

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.

The Role of Trust in High Performing Teams

How do you know you can’t trust someone?

My approach – and how I coach others – is to always assume that people are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. To begin from a place of trust.

Many people believe that trust has to be earned. And I agree. So why would I say to start from trust? It’s because I believe that it’s the maintenance of trust that must be earned.

Firstly, there’s more trust. This time, it’s to trust your gut. Tune into your

Introduction

REST APIs are a crucial part of the technology stack. In order to scale and grow, we must make sure that our REST APIs are optimized properly. In this article, we will go over some best practices for optimizing your REST API for mobile applications.

 

Use JSON for Serialization

When developing an application that uses REST APIs, it’s important to use JSON for serialization. JSON is lightweight and easy to parse, making it the preferred choice over XML for mobile applications. Here are some advantages of using JSON:

  • JSON is more readable than XML
  • JSON is more compact than XML
  • JSON is less verbose than XML
  • JSON is more flexible than XML

 

Get Rid of XML

XML is verbose, and it can be difficult to read. The structure of XML documents is not as flexible as JSON, which means that if you have a lot of data in your

The Steppingstones to Successful Self-Leadership : John Mattone Global, Inc.

Leadership is a challenge that leaders undertake intentionally. It requires them to leave their comfort zones and navigate a series of steppingstones as part of their journeys. Leadership coaching can guide leaders through these journeys, helping them find answers and grow into the leaders they can be.

In life, we are all leaders to some degree. We lead ourselves for better or worse, either achieving our aspirations or falling short and allowing life to plow through our dreams. Often, we lead others. That is when our leadership abilities become subject to scrutiny.
