You don’t build a great company by hiring “professional managers.” You build it by growing great contributors into leaders.
The best managers aren’t chasing the title, they’d rather keep building. But they step up because no one else can do it as well as they can.
Great leadership is earned in the trenches, not in the boardroom.

#1 New York Times bestselling author of 7 books.

After 30 years studying business and human behavior, here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Some of the most popular advice doesn’t help you.

It holds you back.

You can’t be anything, but you can become something meaningful.

Do great work, follow what challenges you, and let skill lead.

You learn more in one month of doing something than in three months of thinking about doing something.

After 30 years studying human development, here’s the most underrated skill:
Design your environment, or it will design you.
You don’t need more discipline. You need fewer obstacles. Make the right thing easy, the wrong thing hard, and behavior changes on autopilot.

Here’s your reminder to spend your time intentionally.

How much time left

"Follow your passion" is a fast track to going broke, and "You can be anything" is a lie. 

After 61 years, here are the 5 pieces of popular advice I’ve learned to ignore.

Your need to be right is costing you.

We often confuse "intelligence" with the ability to win a debate. But in the real world, stubbornness isn’t a strength. It’s a liability.

Intellectual Humility

After 30 years of creative work, here’s what actually works:
Protect your best thinking time. Start before you feel ready. Step away so ideas can catch up.
Creativity isn’t talent. It’s timing, momentum, and recovery.

Here’s a question most career advice ignores: who did you marry?
Research shows your partner’s discipline and dependability quietly shape your success by reducing mental load and creating a stable base to perform from.
Choose wisely, and just as important, be that person because who you love can shape how far you go. Inspired by @profgalloway

You just have to unlearn what dimmed your creativity.

Solving all your problems won’t make you happier. Your brain just finds new ones.

We’re wired for challenge, not comfort. Do something hard, then come back and notice how different your ordinary life feels.

My youngest son (2006) and three of his mates are enjoying their monthly party night playing the Wii (also 2006).
That would be like me (1973) getting together with my mates to play the Atari Pong (1973). Actually, that would be tremendously cool.

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski eating one of his own burgers is the best slow-motion PR car crash I've seen in a long time. I think it's the first of their "products" he ever ate.

Meanwhile, after the biggest security leak in Dutch history ... Odido Nederland fails to read the room.

Stuur mij een DM'tje als ik je met Vikaash in contact kan brengen.
