Why Culture and Purpose Must Align Within the Workplace
Purpose is about where your company's journey is taking you. Culture is the combination of values and habits that will get you there.
Purpose, Values or Culture: What's the Difference?
Purposeful Values + Purposeful Habits = Purposeful Culture
Content: These give life to your purpose. Values, like purpose, are ideals that guide decision making. Habits, on the other hand, are more about the actions you take. They might be physical actions, like communicating with others or taking a moment out of the day to think about why we do what we do. They might also be mental actions or ways of thinking. What are some ways that values and habits combine to create a more purposeful culture? Let's look at a few. Mindfulness - Mindfulness is a value that aligns with purpose in the sense of thinking about the purpose and values of what you do every day. It can also be a purposeful habit. Gary Bradt, a speaker and thought leader on change says, "Values are the tool you use to make decisions every day.

4 Ways Your Emotions Can Screw Up Your Decisions
Your emotions can easily cloud your judgment.
1. Excitement can cause you to overestimate your chances of success.
2. Anxiety in one area of your life spills over into other areas.
3. Feelings of sadness can cause you to settle.
4. Anger and embarrassment can lead to taking a long shot.
Balance Emotion and Logic
Inc. This Morning
Content: Feelings of sadness can cause you to settle. Research shows you're likely to set your goals really low when you're feeling sad. In one study, participants were asked to sell various objects. Participants who felt sad set their prices lower than the other participants. Researchers suspect sadness led them to set the bar low, in hopes that achieving their goal would improve their mood. Creating low expectations for yourself can prevent you from reaching your greatest potential. You may decide not to apply for that promotion or you may not negotiate for what you want all because you're feeling down. 4. Anger and embarrassment can lead to taking a long shot. Intense emotions can lead to rash decisions, if you're not careful.

Intense emotions can lead to rash decisions, if you're not careful. Anger and embarrassment may make you particularly vulnerable to high-risk, low pay-off choices. Researchers suspect intense uncomfortable emotions impair self-regulation skills. Of course, when you're feeling really emotional, your risks can become self-destructive. When those big risks don't pay off, your anger and embarrassment are likely to intensify. Balance Emotion and Logic
Emotions certainly play an important role in the decision making process.

7 Reasons Mental Health Issues And Financial Issues Tend to Go Hand-in-Hand (And It Has Nothing to Do With the Cost of Treatment)
Even a slight decline in mental health can affect your financial situation.
1. Life Feels Out of Control
2. You’re More Likely to Avoid Problems
3. You Get Desperate for Temporary Relief
4. Self-Esteem Plummets
5. Energy Levels Decrease
6. Unhealed Wounds May Come Back to Haunt You
7. It’s Tough to Think Clearly
How to Improve Your Mental Health
Today’s 5 Must Reads
Content: Unhealed Wounds May Come Back to Haunt You
When you’re feeling down, your brain will recall all the other times when you felt similar feelings--and those just might be the lowest points in your life. Quite often, emotional wounds that never healed get re-opened as your mental health declines. And for many people, that leads to changes in financial habits. A father who was teased for not having nice things as a kid may overspend on his children to prevent them from experiencing the same pain. Or, an individual who has never felt good enough might take out a bigger loan than she can afford in an attempt to get the attention she craves. 7. It’s Tough to Think Clearly
It can be hard to think about your grocery list, let alone your financial future when your mental health is on the decline. Making decisions, planning ahead, and organizing your financial situation may feel like an uphill battle that you’re unequipped to fight. How to Improve Your Mental Health
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to improve your mental health--which can also improve your financial health. Taking care of your body with adequate sleep, exercise and nutrition, socializing with supportive people, engaging in leisure activities (even when you don’t feel like it) and setting aside time to take care of your needs (like managing your budget) can help improve your psychological well-being.

Title:
Headings:
Content: How companies are impacted by tariffs differs from company to company based on a number of factors—proximity of industry sector to the tariff imposed, how directly the company's inputs and outputs are touched by the tariff, whether or not the company is involved in exporting or importing, etc. Businesses that do most of their business within a domestic market may benefit from the imposition of tariffs on competitive products. If, however, the material inputs to the products of a business are the targets of tariffs, then the business may well be harmed by rising prices on its material inputs. In another possible scenario, a business that is involved with exporting may be harmed if it sees the imposition of a tariff on products similar to those it exports, and retaliatory tariffs are imposed by other nations on the products it exports. As these examples show, the impact of tariffs on one business may be very different than those experienced by another business and the impacts differ based on characteristic other than the size of the businesses. Exporters are usually well aware of the potential harm that may befall them if tariffs are unexpectedly imposed on their products and for that reason they usual include a disclaimer of responsibility for such tariffs that are imposed after a purchase agreement is signed. Such clauses to a purchase agreement usually state something like: " Prices quoted do not include (and Customer agrees to pay) taxes, tariffs, duties, or fees of any kind which may be levied or imposed on either party by federal, state, municipal, or other governmental authorities in connection with the sale or delivery of the product." The key is to protect the business from liability for potential unpredictable and potentially arbitrary government actions. NON-TARIFF BARRIERS
Worth noting is the fact that non-tariff barriers are also used quite frequently by nations of all sizes in their attempt to bolster their own economies and protect domestic interests.

5 Reasons Why Employees Don't Speak Up and How to Fix It
We all say we value 'a good listener.' Here are some easy ways to be the listener your employees need to encourage them to share.
5 Reasons Why Employees Don't Speak Up
6 Ways to Encourage Speaking Up
Content: Employees may harbor a strong fear of retaliation due to a lack of trust, or feel nervous about looking stupid if they don't have all of the right information. Appearance of challenging authority: Their upbringing may have taught them to never question authority, leading them to believe it is always good politics to agree with the boss. Previous bad experiences. A previous poor supervisor, or someone who took feedback but never acted on it, may cause them to believe it's not worth the effort. Unskilled with practical candor: Employees unfamiliar with the practice of giving feedback in a trustworthy but honest manner may feel that their comments are rude or unwelcome. Your door isn't really open: Asking people to give you feedback, and being available to take it are not the same. Make sure that when you say your door is open, you really mean it!

In the professional world, opinions can be dangerous. Holding a controversial opinion can damage your reputation; stating an opinion that contradicts your boss's can leave you vulnerable; voicing your opinion at the wrong time can make you appear foolish. The old adage attributed to Abraham Lincoln goes, "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt," and in the realm of business, that seems to be the truth. However, holding your opinions back can actually be more damaging than speaking them. In fact, opinions are what fuel momentum--all ideas, plans, and decisions begin and end with opinions, and if you consistently refrain from voicing yours, you'll be doing both your employer and your career a disservice. 1. You'll Appear More Confident.

In a deal negotiation, it can make you seem like more of an authority. In a meeting, it can make you look like a more important player. Speaking your opinion openly makes you appear more confident, and that effect actually increases depending on the degree of controversy associated with that opinion.

In reality, these possible outcomes are extremely rare--the risks of making your opinion known are much lower than they might seem. If your workplace culture is the type that would support firing an employee because he/she voiced an opinion, you probably shouldn't be working there anyway.

It's possible that you voice your opinion and live to regret it, but it's also possible that you keep your mouth shut and regret not saying anything. Ultimately, our regrets of inaction are much more severe than our regrets of action, meaning keeping your mouth shut is actually the more likely regret of the two.

Be mindful of the appropriate times and places to speak your opinion, but never be afraid to let your true feelings be known. May 12, 2015

How to Change Your Mindset to See Problems as Opportunities
Dwelling on problems causes stress and hampers productivity. What if you could train your brain to see problems as opportunities? Here's how! Shape
By Jayson DeMers @ jaysondemers

Talk to any successful entrepreneur, or any professional with a positive attitude, and you'll find one key trait in common: all of them have a unique mentality that allows them to handle challenges differently. Rather than seeing problems as burdensome forces of opposition, they see problems as opportunities--opportunities to learn, grow, improve, or adjust in a way that leaves them better off than before the problem existed. This simple mentality has many benefits. First, it reduces the burden of stress that usually accompanies any new problem--because the problem is viewed in a positive light, it's less intimidating.

Rather than seeing problems as burdensome forces of opposition, they see problems as opportunities--opportunities to learn, grow, improve, or adjust in a way that leaves them better off than before the problem existed. This simple mentality has many benefits. First, it reduces the burden of stress that usually accompanies any new problem--because the problem is viewed in a positive light, it's less intimidating. Second, it contextualizes the problem. Because the mind immediately starts thinking about the effects and potential responses to the problem, it can be broken down and analyzed easier. Third, it encourages growth--this mentality forces you to adapt and improve on a constantly recurring basis. Finally, it's self-perpetuating. Every problem you view or solve this way makes future problems easier to handle, forming a positive cycle of reinforcement.

Accept That Problems Are Inevitable
Most of us react negatively to problems when they take us by surprise. You're on your way to work on a route you always take, and you get a flat tire; this event is completely unexpected, and can make you feel like the day is ruined. However, your work commute almost always has some kind of problem in it--they're usually just so small you don't notice. For example, there might be extra traffic, you might have forgotten something at home, or you might not have enough of a charge on your mobile device to listen to music. Even a rogue red light can interfere with your commute. Problems are a given--only the intensity of the problems are a variable.

If you can learn to accept problems as a normal, regular, and completely unavoidable part of life, you'll have taken your first step toward handling them with more grace and objective understanding. Steel Yourself to First Impressions
Our first impressions often define our reactions to new situations, so in order to start seeing problems as opportunities, you have to avoid making first impressions altogether (which is easier said than done). Let's take the flat tire incident in the above section; your first impression might be "I'm going to be late" or "This is going to be a pain" or "This is going to cost me money I haven't budgeted." These first impressions immediately illustrate the problem in a negative light, rather than what it is--a neutral situation.

It's our instinct to form first impressions, especially in urgent or problematic situations, so you'll be fighting against nature on this one. Distance Yourself From the Problem
Once that initial reaction stage has passed, you can focus on distancing yourself from the problem.

Once that initial reaction stage has passed, you can focus on distancing yourself from the problem. We often have a highly self-centered view on the world, leading us to think of all the bad ways a problem could affect us. But if you think of the problem as a separate entity, unrelated to you, you'll do a better job of tempering your emotions and thinking about the problem objectively. One helpful strategy to do this is to describe the problem as if it were happening to a friend: " Bob has a flat tire. He needs to pull off to the side of the road and either put on a spare or call a towing company."

Learn to Objectively Evaluate the Threats and Consequences
Your next step is to isolate the real threats and consequences of a problem from your exaggerated or imaginary ones. Doing so will help you shift your focus from seeing the problem as a burden or as a destructive force to seeing the problem as a neutral force that allows you to take action. Whenever you face a problem, make a physical or mental list of all the significant negative consequences it will have. Solidifying a comprehensive list will typically illustrate that your problem is not as destructive as it seemed on the surface;

Whenever you face a problem, make a physical or mental list of all the significant negative consequences it will have.

In the modern world, this evolutionary programming is less helpful. Ignore Reactions, Focus on Improvements
Finally, you'll need to train your brain to think of your response to a given problem as an improvement, rather than a blind reaction. For example, in the flat tire incident, it's easy to think "I have a flat tire. Now I have to fix it."

Content: This is a direct reaction to the situation. Instead, try to think of current and future improvements: " I have a flat tire. This will give me a chance to use my spare." " I have a flat tire. I should buy tire sealant to have on hand in case this happens again." Over time, you'll gradually start seeing problems in terms of the potential improvements they illustrate, rather in terms of the actions they demand of you. Again, as with any mental shift, start out with small scenarios and gradually work your way up to larger ones. You're always going to have problems in your life, whether they come up as personal issues, professional challenges, or flat-out bad luck that ruins your day. If you can train your mind to view these problems as opportunities for growth, you'll become far more adept at handling them quickly, efficiently, and with less stress.

The Five Easiest Ways to Change Another Person's Life
And the best part is, when you give, you also receive.
1. Say thank you to a person who believed in you.
2. Apologize to a person you let down.
3. Express your congratulations.
4. Make a sincere offer of help.
5. Offer an unexpected compliment.
Content: Fortunately, it's easier than you think. A sincere and genuine expression of thanks, or of regret, or of praise can make a tremendous impact on other people. Here are five simple ways you can change another person's life -- and maybe your own, too. 1. Say thank you to a person who believed in you. Belief is a powerful thing. Some people have incredible stores of self-belief, but most of us are given confidence and self-assurance by others. Slowly but surely, through their encouragement and support, we develop a stronger sense of self. At some point, someone saw you struggling and gave you hope. At some point, someone saw something in you that you didn't yet see in yourself.

4. Make a sincere offer of help.
5. Offer an unexpected compliment.
Content: Who you are today is a direct result of that person's faith in you. Belief, founded or unfounded, is incredibly powerful -- and when someone else believes in us, it's unforgettable. Tell someone what a huge difference he or she made in your life. Hearing those words will make a huge difference in that person's life -- and in your relationship. 2. Apologize to a person you let down. We've all made mistakes. We've all done things we regret. Or we haven't done things -- and we regret not acting. We've all failed to step up, or step in, or show support, or lend an ear or shoulder...
Maybe you feel you've moved past it.

They will feel a little better about themselves -- and you'll feel better about yourself, too. 4. Make a sincere offer of help. Many people hesitate to ask for help. They see admitting they need help as admitting a weakness. In a hard-charging, Type-A world, who willingly shows vulnerability? But everyone -- everyone - - needs help. So offer to help.

6 Techniques to Better Your Problem-Solving Skills
Developing a problem-solving process doesn't just help you make more informed decisions. It will also help you prioritize your time so you can get back to what really matters.
Develop a step-by-step approach.
Ask solution-oriented questions.
Change your mindset.
Work with your hands.
Ask for help.
Take time to reflect and celebrate.
Content: Let's say you need more customers. Rather than ask, "Why can't I get more customers?" ask solution-oriented questions like "What three things can I do differently than my competitors?" or "What would I have to do in the next month to get 10 new customers?" Change your mindset. When you view a problem as burdensome, you avoid it. Who actually wants to deal with something that's frustrating, overwhelming, or seemingly impossible? However, if you change your mindset to view challenges as a way to grow, you'll be less stressed about finding a solution. What's more, your mind will break down and analyze the problem more easily, you'll be more flexible, and you'll be better suited to take care of future issues. While changing your mindset to start viewing problems as opportunities doesn't occur overnight, it helps to first realize that problems are inevitable.

The sooner you come to terms with this, the better you'll be able to approach any dilemma with open-mindedness. Secondly, avoid lingering on negative first impressions. For instance, if your car doesn't start in the morning, your first thought may revolve around how much it will cost to repair or how late you'll be late for a meeting. Instead, focus on the actual problem: " The car won't start."

Content: That is all it takes. Walk up to strangers in the room, make eye contact, smile, and just say hello. I promise you will change their world when you do that." 3. Be Polite
How great does it feel whenever someone smiles at you and is sincerely polite, such as saying 'thank you' or listening to what you have to say? It makes us feel good and important. And, it can even brighten our days. In fact, polite individuals aren't just likeable, they make a solid first, and lasting impression. Remember, being polite and using your manners can go a long way in strengthening relationships and making others feel that they they're being considered. 4.

5 Ways Leadership Can Change the Conversation Around Diversity and Inclusion
Oftentimes leaders think that the risk is too great to get involved in the discussion of diversity and inclusion. In fact, it's the complete opposite.
1. The Power of Listening
2. Educate and Empower Your Leadership Team
3. Leading By Example
4. Communication Is Key
5. Measuring Progress
Content: Diversity and inclusion work is no different. There are great books, trainings, and consultants doing work in this space. Earlier this year, we asked Dr. Robert Livingston, a lecturer of Public Policy at Harvard University's JFK School of Government, to share research and insights on the reality of the achievement gap. The examples were a sobering reminder of how our perceptions of race, class, and gender, impact our workforce, and spurred many of our internal leaders to action. I highly recommend engaging your leadership team in this education early and often. 3. Leading By Example
In order to truly alter the landscape of an organization, leaders must proactively engage and be leaders in diversity and inclusion initiatives - from recognizing the composition of the C-suite, providing budget and resources, using inclusive language, to attending internal events. Often that starts with checking your own privilege and being willing to acknowledge and embrace it--as a leader you have an obligation to make your company more welcoming to others, so learning more about your own perspective and privilege can be a powerful first step. 4. Communication Is Key
You cannot over-communicate early and often enough the importance of your diversity and inclusion efforts to candidates, employees, customers and stakeholders.

5. Measuring Progress
Content: Employer branding is crucial and one company who has done a great job to broaden the topic of diversity and inclusion is Pinterest, who was one of the first companies to publicly share their diversity data. From implementing the "Rooney Rule" within their recruiting efforts to partnering with outside organizations, such as /dev/color, a non-profit that helps black engineers build and grow their careers, Pinterest's work has gone beyond just internal efforts showcasing their leadership and commitment in scaling diversity and inclusion. 5. Measuring Progress
Talking about diversity and inclusion is one thing, but walking the walk is the true test. In order to view diversity and inclusion as a business priority, one must measure it as such. Analyzing and dissecting the progress made is important, but equally as important is approaching the future with humility and identifying the areas that need improvement. Jul 19, 2018

5 Reasons You Should Speak Up (Even When You Think You Shouldn't)
Are you one to sit back quietly? You may be hurting yourself and others. Here are five good reasons to speak your mind loudly and often.
Content: You're also not doing yourself any favors by not sharing your expertise. People don't automatically recognize your skills, values, ambitions, and desires when you are quiet. If you wait around for people to notice or read your mind, you will likely end up on many paths that are not of your own choosing. You may end up with projects you don't want, missing promotions you do, or accepting tasks you don't have time or ability to complete. Gather up your confidence and share. 5. You may not be alone in your thinking. It's entirely possible that your insightful observations and conclusions have surfaced in the minds of others. Others may share your thoughts and opinions, but may be also unwilling to speak up. By speaking your mind you encourage them to voice their opinions as well.

5 Tips for Being a Disciplined Investor
If you want to find success with investing, you must remain disciplined. Here's how.
1. Start Investing Early and Often
2. Don't Let Emotions Dictate Behavior
3. Respect the Cyclical Nature of the Market
4. Balance Your Portfolio
5. Don't Touch It
Slow, Steady, and Strategic
Content: 2. Don't Let Emotions Dictate Behavior
There should be nothing emotional about investing. While it's hard to gain and lose money without feeling twinges of excitement and fear, you have to insulate yourself against external factors. This will allow you to stay the course when positive and negative events happen. 3. Respect the Cyclical Nature of the Market
If you have a bunch of money tied up in the stock market, it's easy to get nervous when there's steep downward movement. However, disciplined investors understand that the market is cyclical and there will be periods of growth and decline. Just recently, we experienced a rather significant market correction, which MarketBeat describes as a 10 percent decline from a recent peak. While a lot of people jumped ship when they saw the markets plunging, disciplined investors simply shrugged their shoulders and saw it as an opportunity to stay put and invest more. Over time, this correction will become nothing more than a blip on the radar.

The historical trajectory of the market has always been up, so there's no reason to panic when you have years to ride it out. 4. Balance Your Portfolio
Diversification is one of the staples of disciplined investing. While there will be times when it's tempting to throw all of your money at a "surefire" investment, making these high-risk decisions will eventually bite you in the rear. Strategically allocating your portfolio over multiple assets and funds will allow you to maximize earnings while mitigating risk.

How to Build a Legacy
This isn't about people just remembering who you were. Here's how great leaders build a legacy that goes beyond fond memories. Shape
By Les McKeown @ PredSuccess
Michael Dell, founder and chairman of Dell Inc., speaks in Beijing, China, on Thursday, March 20, 2008. One of the strange bewilderments of business is why so many entirely competent leaders finish their leadership journey without leaving behind much of a trace, while others--not necessarily more brilliant--leave behind a legacy. What is it about some leaders that enables them not only to make an impact during their careers, but to continue to change how people act and think in their organizations (sometimes, in an entire industry) even after they've gone? Some of it, of course is simple exposure. Being the head of a Fortune 100 company gets your leadership principles disseminated somewhat more ubiquitously than if you're running a three-location chain of bedding stores. But the less glamorous truth is that some leaders simply do a better job than others of building and instilling a legacy.

You can't leave behind a legacy by accident (well, you can, but it's usually a negative one). Until you know, clearly and unambiguously, what you want your legacy to be, it's tough, if not impossible, to begin building it. The foundation of building a legacy is a deep sense of knowing--not just knowing what is important to you, but what is non-negotiable. In a sense, it doesn't matter what those non-negotiables are. They could revolve around corporate culture, team-building, production quality, customer service, innovation, or any one of a thousand other things. What matters is that you know what they are.

Content: 2. Get off the front line. Take a look at that list of non-negotiables. It won't take root in your organization (and you can't build your legacy) if you're stuck permanently in the weeds managing the day to day detail of your business, division, department, project, group or team. Yes, managers leave legacies too, but they're different. Manager legacies are tactical, anecdotal, of the "do you remember so-and-so...?" sort. We're talking about leaving a leadership legacy--a touchstone to guide future generations. That can't be built from behind a spreadsheet or in the bowels of a powerpoint deck. Find a COO.

Today’s 5 Must Reads
Content: Great leaders drive home their non-negotiables over and over and over again, to the point where they feel physically ill at the thought of repeating them even one more time. And that's just the beginning. One industry leader I've worked with for over 20 years told me that he'd only begun to drive his personal leadership vision into his company after 12 years of ceaseless pounding on his "non-negotiables". When the sound of your own voice repeating the same basic principles one more time makes you feel sick, then you've started the construction of your legacy. 4. Leave. Ready for a statement of the stunningly obvious? Leaving a legacy behind requires you to no longer be there. Sadly, many leaders miss this vital point, and hang around too long, lingering until the point when what would have been a towering legacy is diminished by time. ( This happens not just in business.

Sadly, many leaders miss this vital point, and hang around too long, lingering until the point when what would have been a towering legacy is diminished by time. ( This happens not just in business. It happens regularly in sports, religion, politics and entertainment too. Think of how many well known leaders in their field would have left a much more substantial legacy had they simply stepped away earlier.) Do yourself - and your legacy - a favor. Quit while you're at the top. Go transform some other part of your life.

10 Ways You Can Make an Impressive Impact at Work
You were born to make an impact, so make it good
1. Become a trailblazer.
2. Keep people informed.
3. Be the go-to person.
4. Become a forecaster.
5. Have confidence to speak up.
6. Do things without being asked.
7. Be a great listener.
8. Go the extra mile.
9. Have a positive mindset.
10. Take the lead.
Inc. This Morning
Content: Everyone has the choice to be a leader, to make an impact and leave their mark. Too many people back off from taking the lead in the mistaken belief that leadership and greatness are reserved for a select few. But in the many years I've served as an executive leadership coach, spending time with top leaders in virtually every field, I have witnessed that the only way people give away their power is by thinking they don't have any. If you take it upon yourself to lead with the idea of serving others, you will not only stand out but will also leave a strong and lasting impression. If you're the kind of person whose foundation is positivity, service, and guiding and supporting others while trying to solve problems and come up new solutions, you will soon find yourself standing out--and setting yourself up to become the kind of leader others respect and want to follow.

How to Be More Resilient When Things Get Tough

By Lolly Daskal @ LollyDaskal

It's human nature to resist change--particularly when it comes in the form of adversity or challenges. But change is inevitable, and developing the trait of resilience helps us not only survive change, but also learn, grow, and thrive in it. Resilience is the capacity to cope with stress and adversity. It comes from believing in yourself and, at the same time, in something bigger than yourself. Resilience is not a trait that people are born with; it involves behaviors, thoughts, and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone.

Content: 9. Build relationships. Resilient people maintain strong and supportive relationships, both personal and professional. As a result, they have caring, supportive people around them in times of crisis. 10. Create your own meaning. Resilient people search for meaning. They develop a "personal why" that helps them have a clear sense of purpose, which helps them view setbacks from a broader perspective. To make it through the tough times takes resilience. It requires that we pay attention to the complexities of our own experiences, listen to our emotions, and be willing to learn from disappointment and failure as well as success and motivation.

How to Teach Your Employees to Be Good Leaders
Is each member of your team learning and growing? Here are a few things companies can do to raise leadership skills.
Start with a predictive assessment tool
Expose your leaders or high potentials to new responsibilities
Coach them, and then teach them to be coaches
Help align their goals with your company's mission
Implement job rotation
Give them purpose
In closing
Content: So, with strict measures in place, coach your new leaders to their success but also build their capacity for coaching and mentoring others. You want coaching to ultimately become a leadership competency and value that can be unleashed and multiplied across your enterprise. Help align their goals with your company's mission
People are motivated at a higher level when they can align their work with their company's larger goals. It gives them ownership of what they create and helps them support organizational causes with more purpose. And nothing creates better ownership than allowing current leaders to give and share input for common goals and values. Implement job rotation
Give high potentials firsthand experience by rotating them through different roles and functions within the organization. The point is to challenge, push, and stretch their skill level. Put them in unfamiliar roles, give them new responsibilities so they get exposure to new skills, and expand their expertise. Give them purpose
Give meaning and purpose to the leader's work, which will add further motivation for him or her to excel. When you provide training, coaching, and mentoring opportunities, align them with job purpose, performance measures, and the organizational mission.

Becoming a skilled leader is kind of like becoming a skilled doctor or lawyer. Application and practice are key. We become leaders by applying our learning and knowledge and adding experience to our everyday lives. The first step is for decision makers to lay down the righteous path for others to learn, grow, develop, and thrive. Mar 29, 2017

7 Ways to Be the Change You Want to See in the World
You can't change the world if you can't change yourself.
1. Increases your authenticity and makes you a better leader.
2. Provides you with lived experience to back up your knowledge.
3. Gives you genuine self-confidence that cannot be purchased.
4. Teaches you how difficult self-development really is.
5. Gives you an appreciation for the people who never stop growing.
6. Improves your ability to empathize with other people's suffering.
7. Creates positive habits that will continue enriching your life for years to come.
Content: The truth is, it's so much easier to read a popular self-help book than go sit across from a psychologist. It takes courage to be vulnerable in front of another person, even if that person's job is to help you implement and sustain positive changes that book knowledge alone cannot possibly match. The road to self-development is a life-long drive, should you choose to venture out of your comfort zone. 5. Gives you an appreciation for the people who never stop growing. Knowing how difficult it is to continue examining unhealthy or uncomfortable aspects of yourself gives you a profound respect for the people who continue making positive changes. It makes you realize how many people aren't challenging themselves to grow, and how complacency increases with comfort. 6. Improves your ability to empathize with other people's suffering. The more you discover about yourself, the better your ability to understand others.

3 Principles to a Lasting Corporate Legacy
To establish a legacy that lives on for generations to come, principled leaders must intentionally define and model cultural beliefs. Shape

By Tanner Corbridge ( @ TannerCorbridge ), author, and expert on driving organizational results through purpose and culture
A corporate legacy -- defined as the lasting imprint left by a leader after his or her departure -- is an extension of corporate culture, and it shapes attitudes and behavior among individual employees as well as on a broader, organization-wide scale. Leadership legacy is simply the way a leader is remembered after his or her departure and is, perhaps, the best measure of the impact of a leader. As leaders prepare to move on from the company they helped build, they must come head-to-head with a big, often difficult-to-answer question: What have I done to ensure my company will achieve its founding mission and thrive into the future? In order to confidently answer this question, leaders must focus their efforts on establishing a deep-rooted culture -- one that will continue to cultivate the mindsets and behaviors required for future growth. We'd suggest following these four steps to lay the cultural groundwork for your organization's long-term growth. 1.

We'd suggest following these four steps to lay the cultural groundwork for your organization's long-term growth. 1. Prioritize principled leadership over tactical leadership. Many leaders understand the tactical element of leadership, which consists of creating expectations, following up on those expectations, and holding people accountable to deliver on tasks. This leadership style is a dime a dozen. More important to one's leadership legacy is the practice of principled leadership. Leaders who follow this approach create "space" around them.

Headings: Today’s 5 Must Reads
Difficult Personal Decision? Here Are The 3 Steps You Need To Make The Right One, Every Time
Making choices based on your own personal values will keep you healthy, happy and productive.
1. Make a list of your values.
2. Decide on your top three values.
3. Measure your decision against your top three values.
Today’s 5 Must Reads
Content: There are hundreds of values--things that are important to you. There is no right or wrong way to determine your values. They are yours, and therefore you cannot be wrong about them. Something to note: integrity is not a value. Integrity is how you carry out your values. If you have a high value of honesty and you see a wallet on the ground, what you do next is either with or without integrity. If you return the wallet intact, you have integrity and alignment with your value of honesty, and no matter your personal situation, you'll feel good about your actions. If you don't return it or take money from it, you will be out of alignment with your personal values and you will feel like you did something wrong. Other people who take the wallet and don't have a high value of honesty may not feel the same.

4 Ways Well-Meaning Leaders Lose Their Power
With a few false moves, even smart, well-meaning CEOs can find themselves getting usurped.
1. Decision paralysis
2. Inviting too many people's opinions.
3. Accommodating everyone
4. Tolerating poor performance
Content: You can be wrong, but if you make a decision and then backpedal, you're in trouble. One executive in the survey was nicknamed "the waffle" because he was unable to make a call and see it through. " Regardless of the data or support he amassed, he never declared a final choice, leaving behind confusion about whether a decision had been made. The team quickly learned this lack of clarity worked to their advantage," Carucci writes. 2. Inviting too many people's opinions. Getting too many people involved can hamper your ability to be decisive. " While including those who must live with a decision's consequences is important, over-including people at the expense of action isn't consensus-building, it's hiding," Carucci writes. Ultimately you are the one who has to make decisions and live with the responsibility. Don't open that job to others.

If you try to accommodate everyone's feeling of ownership and control, you lose your own control. " When the need to say 'yes' overpowers the courage to say 'no,' it fragments organizations, and results in the final form of abdication," Carucci writes. 4. Tolerating poor performance
If you waffle on decisions and dole out too much control over the direction of projects, you'll find yourself with no power to mandate what the company's actual priorities are. "

Utilities should be one of the most accommodating debts on your list of monthly bills because, if nothing else, it’s easy to reduce your bill by turning off your appliances. But if there is a jar to the economy – like the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 – keeping the lights on can become a real struggle, especially if your wallet has been hit. The coronavirus caused a record 33.5 million workers to head for the unemployment line in a six-week period. Fortunately for those millions, there are plenty of agencies and organizations that provide assistance paying utility bills. Unfortunately, being a day late and more than a few dollars short is an all too common experience.

Unfortunately, being a day late and more than a few dollars short is an all too common experience. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said in a 2018 release that seven million households have to decide every month between food, medicine or paying the utility bill. The average electric bill in 2018 in the U.S. was $117.65 per month. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, energy costs consume between 5% and 22% of a family’s monthly budget. You can try all sorts of tips and tricks to lower that number, but even a relatively low bill can be a heavy burden for some families. Low-income families pay an average of 9.92% and as much as 22% of their income on electricity alone.

This is often referred to as a household’s “energy burden.” Low-income households — meaning those earning less than 80% of the area median income — in many Southeast states face energy burdens of 10% or higher. In five states with the highest low-income energy burden — Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Arkansas — low-income households use 36% more electricity than the low-income national average. Typically, an electric bill is due 21 days after the meter is read.

What Can You Do If Your Electricity is Shut Off

Charity aid
Utility company programs
A good first step is to check out databases of agencies that assist with utility payments. Utility Bill Assistance During COVID-19
If you’re struggling with the impact of COVID-19 to pay your electric bill, two sources of help are your own utility company and federal assistance through the CARES Act. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act helps people learn how they can get government help to pay phone bills, medical bills, electric bills and other expenses. A big part of the assistance is through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, which we’ll detail soon. Many of the major players in the industry – Duke, PG&E, Consolidated Edison and many more – are halting disconnections and waiving late fees for customers struggling with the impact of COVID-19. In fact, 26 states and the District of Columbia have ordered utility companies to suspend disconnections. A few others are suspending disconnections only for low-income and senior customers or are encouraging voluntary action only by utilities.

Content: Information on which companies are granting concessions is changing weekly, so check with your state or utility for more information. One other resource worth investigating is DoNotPay.com, which bills itself as a “robot lawyer” and tries to get bill extensions for those affected by coronavirus. DoNotPay sends your utility company a “polite” letter requesting an extension. If the extension is denied, it follows up with a second letter with relevant local and state laws to try and convince the company they’re better off granting an extension. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
If this has become a reoccurring issue, you need to look into the government agency LIHEAP. The program is meant to help low-income households that pay a high proportion of their income for home energy. The Office of Community Services, Division of Energy Assistance granted $3.32 billion in funding for LIHEAP in 2020. LIHEAP can help pay heating or cooling bills, and help pay for low-cost home improvements such as weatherization to lower utility bills. On average, about 20% of households that are qualified for LIHEAP receive benefits. How to Qualify for Energy Assistance
Eligibility for this program varies by state, but generally it starts at the $18,735 income level for a one-person household (150% of the federal poverty line).

Eligibility for this program varies by state, but generally it starts at the $18,735 income level for a one-person household (150% of the federal poverty line). Then add $6,630 per person in the household, so a family of four would have to earn less than $38,625 (6,630 x 3 + 18,735 = 38,625) to qualify. You could be automatically eligible If you are currently enrolled in SNAP, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs. To apply, you’ll need to find your local LIHEAP office using this search tool, or contact the National Energy Assistance Referral (NEAR) at 1-866-674-6327 or email [email protected]. States also have their own forms of utility assistance. Ohio, Colorado, New Jersey, Nevada, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Maine all have various forms of Percentage of Income Payment Plans (PIPP).

Ohio, Colorado, New Jersey, Nevada, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Maine all have various forms of Percentage of Income Payment Plans (PIPP). The idea is that a customer pays a fixed percentage of their income to their gas or electric bill, and if they make full and on-time payments, the remaining balance is forgiven at the end of each month. Your local LIHEAP office should have more information on state-run programs like PIPP. Charity Aid
Enrolling in LIHEAP will help in the long term, but if you’re in danger of having your lights cut off, you need help right away. Local churches and social service agencies can provide the short-term funds to keep your utilities running. When you’re unable to pay your bills, the last thing you want to do is put them on a credit card.

The utility company itself will often work with its customers so long as you communicate your situation with them. Many companies have payment plans designed for these problems. They might take your balance and add a small amount to future monthly bills until it’s paid off. Another option is to pay one fixed rate determined by your average utility bill the last 12 months. This should help you budget more efficiently and avoid an enormous bill in the hot or cold months. Some utility companies partner with local charities and can help you find assistance. Duke Energy, for example, has an Energy Neighbor Fund that works in conjunction with local agencies in Florid

Content: Update all of your electronic equipment. Timers, power strips, motion-detector switches and WiFi-equipped products can help save electricity. Ask for an energy audit from your utility provider. This service is often free and can identify other ways to save. If you need help paying your electric bill, look into government assistance programs. One of the biggest ones is the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Also check with your power company to see if it has an energy cost management plan. It won’t trim your annual costs, but will more evenly distribute monthly payments. Utility bills will increase in spring and fall, but bills in high-usage months in the summer and winter will be lower. 2.

Effects of unemployment on an individual
Unemployed individuals are susceptible to experiencing several challenges. These challenges are exacerbated the longer a person is unemployed. Common disadvantages of unemployment for individuals include: Reduced income
Unemployed individuals experience reduced income as a direct result of not having a job. Because a job provides wages for the person, being unemployed takes away these wages and leaves the individual with less available income. People who are unemployed and do not have any other source of income often rely on their savings or borrowed money to fund essential costs such as food and living expenses. Unemployed individuals who are the primary worker in the family face even more difficulty, as they must come up with the money to account for not only their own needs but for the needs of their family members.

Related: COVID-19: Unemployment and Job Loss Support
Health problems
Unemployment can also have a significant impact on a person's physical health. Being unemployed is a highly stressful situation, so it may cause stress-related health issues such as headaches, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, back pain and insomnia. These health issues often result in increased visits to a doctor and increased use of medication to manage the health conditions. Many people rely on their jobs to provide health insurance, so when a person is unemployed they likely do not have access to health care. Unemployment can also increase a person's risk of further declined health, as they often skip health-related appointments to reduce costs.

By skipping out on these preventative measures, individuals increase their risk of a decline in physical health. Negative familial effects
Family members of an unemployed person are also at risk of the negative impact of unemployment. According to the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, individuals who are unemployed have less family and marital satisfaction and increased family challenges compared to unemployed people. The study also found that the stress of unemployment can negatively impact the well-being of spouses.

Effects of unemployment on society
The impact of unemployment also reaches out to the community and society in which the unemployed person lives. While one unemployed person will typically not have a significant impact on society, high unemployment rates in certain areas often lead to higher poverty rates and poorer neighborhoods that amplify the societal impact of unemployment. Communities with high unemployment rates are more likely to have limited employment opportunities, low-quality housing, fewer available recreational activities, limited access to public transportation and public services and underfunded schools. Effects of unemployment on the economy
In addition to effects on the individual and societal levels, unemployment also directly impacts the economy as a whole. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, when people are unemployed, they spend less money, which ultimately contributes to less contribution to the economy in relation to services or goods sold and produced. Unemployed persons also experience a reduced purchasing power which can leave other individuals who create products that were purchased by these individuals without jobs as well. Additionally, more than 70% of what the United States economy produces is purchased by consumers.

Inmates have to undergo searches performed by prison guards at random. That includes personal and cell searches for contraband.

How To Become a Bounty Hunter: Step-by-Step Guide
February 22, 2021
Bounty hunting began in the days when local police forces didn't have the manpower or resources to track and apprehend fugitives, so they posted wanted posters offering a reward for the capture and return of the fugitive to police custody. Individuals who are critical thinkers, problem solvers, excel under pressure and are competent in defensive tactics may find a career as a bounty hunter to be both exciting and rewarding. In this article, we discuss everything you need to know about becoming a bounty hunter, including job requirements, average salary and frequently asked questions. What does a bounty hunter do? A bounty hunter is a professional who works on behalf of bail bond agents to locate and apprehend fugitives who have missed a court date or failed to uphold their responsibilities under the bail bond contract in some other way. When a criminal defendant misses a court date, the judge issues a failure to appear and gives the bail bond agent a specific period of time to locate the defendant and bring them back to court. Because the bail bond agent's money is on the line, they hire bounty hunters to quickly find, apprehend and bring back the defendant. Because bounty hunters work independently on behalf of the bail bond agent and not as state or federal agents, fugitives are not protected by the same constitutional rights that protect them from being apprehended by the police.

Because bounty hunters work independently on behalf of the bail bond agent and not as state or federal agents, fugitives are not protected by the same constitutional rights that protect them from being apprehended by the police. The rights of the bail bond agent to locate, arrest, detain and transport a fugitive are established through a private contract, and those rights are passed on to the bounty hunter by the bail bond agent. Bounty hunters may use tactics like surveillance, forcibly entering the defendant's home without a warrant and apprehending the fugitive without reading them their Miranda rights. Average salary of a bounty hunter
The average annual salary of a bounty hunter varies based on the total amount of bail for each fugitive and the number of fugitives they apprehend. Because bounty hunters are independent agents working on behalf of the bail bond agent, they are paid only when they successfully apprehend a wanted fugitive through a percentage of the overall bail amount. Bounty hunters are usually paid between 10 and 25% of the bail bond's face value.

Content: Sonographers primarily operate the ultrasonic equipment and devices that produce images of a patient's body, such as in an ultrasound. Since these procedures are non-invasive and provide visualization for internal organs, ultrasounds are frequently the first diagnostic imaging exam patients receive in order to identify abnormalities and make diagnoses. Additionally, these medical professionals regularly interact with patients, and will perform a wide range of medical and patient care tasks, including: Operating and maintaining imaging devices and equipment and reviewing produced images to ensure quality and readability for making diagnoses
Evaluating and identifying abnormal imaging results and communicating the data with physicians, nurses and other medical professionals
Assisting and preparing patients for imaging procedures, communicating procedures to patients and providing emotional support before, during and after procedures
Reviewing patients' medical records, recording imaging and diagnostic results in patients' medical records and coordinating patient care and treatment with appropriate healthcare providers
Educating patients on imaging procedures and results, including reviewing images and data and answering patients' questions
Depending on their specialties, sonographers will also perform specific tasks that adhere to their field of practice. Some of these tasks include: Performing ultrasounds and imaging procedures on specific areas of the patient's body to assist in diagnoses, treatments and other medical needs

Average salary for sonographers

Education level can play a role in a sonographer's income average, with sonographers who hold an associate's degree likely earning less than sonographers who hold a bachelor's degree. Additionally, where you live and your place of employment can also impact your earning potential, with some states and healthcare facilities paying more than others.
