Skilled leaders focus on "we," not "me."

Knowing what matters most, what I call "being real," is the alpha and omega for leaders.

Right now we're in the midst of a grand experiment on how best to harness the incredible power of the Internet while we struggle to maintain useful boundaries among the different parts of our lives.

Invest in helping people know what matters to them and who matters to them (and why), and encourage them to continually experiment with how they get things done in ways the serve their interests and yours as an employer.

"Leading" is about mobilizing people toward valued goals.

Of course that's the best way to continue to learn anything: Try to teach it!

I am very gratified to have lived to see a revolution in the field of work/life: Everyone - men and women, employees and employers - now has this issue top of mind.
