There's a common saying shared often in our social media streams that you achieve success, we need to take a leap out of our comfort zone in order to access that space 'where the magic happens'. But is this really what we need to do to achieve success and personal fulfillment? That question serves as the starting point of my discussion on the true nature of comfort zones and learning how to grow our competencies with psychology and organizational behaviour professor Andy Molinsky.

Most of us go to bed thinking about the work that didn’t get done and the tasks that are still on the list instead of recognizing what went well and how we moved the needle forward , even if only a little. That makes sense, since humans are wired to focus on the negative. This is evolution’s way of keeping us alive. For CEO’s and leaders running organizations, it’s important to acknowledge this natural negative lean.

I rented a luxury car recently, so that I could travel in style to my eldest son’s wedding. I was delighted, primarily with the celebration, but also with the vehicle. The BMW 335d’s power was phenomenal and its technology was mind-blowing, to such an extent that there were times when I wasn’t sure who was driving – me or the car. This was particularly evident when I came to park for the first time.

Do You Need to Jump Start a Stalled Strategy? You are not alone. IBM reports that less than 10% of strategies are effectively executed and our organizational alignment research finds that strategic clarity is 50% lower outside of the executive suite. As cute as the dog in the picture may be, he will go nowhere while upside down. And, similarly, even a perfectly crafted business strategy will be useless if it exists only on paper or in the board room.

What’s the true culprit of all misunderstanding? Lack of good communication, how you communicate and how you receive feedback. Well meaning people who believe they have communicated their best intentions, often have the listener receive the feedback harshly. Here are some examples of where miscommunication might happen: 1) Coaching. 2) One-On-One Meetings. 3) Giving a Colleague Constructive Feedback. 4) Brainstorming Sessions. 5) Delegating Tasks. 6) Setting Work Expectations.

Marketplaces are easily underestimated. When marketplaces get big, they can get really big. Some of the biggest tech successes ever – eBay, Airbnb, Alibaba, Uber – are marketplaces worth tens of billions of dollars each. And yet marketplaces often start small, in niches and weird corners of the Internet. As we all know, when eBay got started in 1995, it was focused on collectibles.
