No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.

So every time you think about your work-life balance issue, remember what your boss is thinking about - and that's winning. Your needs may get heard - and even successfully resolved - but not if the boss's needs aren't met as well.

When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.

You are not a leader to win a popularity contest-you are a leader to lead.

HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?

Some people have better ideas than others; some are smarter or more experienced or more creative. But everyone should be heard and respected.

There's no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.
