I coach so many women who say they want career advice, but what they really want is permission to not work. These women can see that the jobs they always dreamed of having are not compatible with raising kids, ant that makes the work world feel very disappointing. So we agree that they don’t really want to work. And their husband makes enough money to support the family.

If you only care about next week’s results, bring in a User Manager. He’ll get it done. But watch out for the aftermath. You know the type– the kind of manager who works to win at all costs. The guy who’s “all business” or the woman who’s “got no time for that crap (meaning connection and understanding).” They’ve got their teams spinning, scared to under-perform.

Have you ever had leak, repaired it, only to find the drip, drip, drip showing up someplace else? Or have you recognized a familiar employee engagement problem, and breathed an immediate, “oh, I’ve seen this movie before” sigh of relief and began to apply your time-tested know-how, only to realize the sequel was far different from the original?

You’re working hard to build a good reputation as a manager. So you’re taking on new projects and delegating certain tasks to others. You think you’re getting the hang of it, but then you make a remark that seems to rub someone the wrong way—and you aren’t sure why. Being decisive and knowing how to say no are important leadership skills, but handled the wrong way, they can come off as excuses that can damage your career.

We are the psychos in first class. People see me and my older son and wonder how we could afford tickets. They probably decide I’m the crazy wife whose husband is never home because he extends every business trip to include a mistress tryst and sends me his love via miles for upgrades.

This diversified but highly focused company grows through intensive attention to its capabilities in acquisition, customer-facing innovation, leadership development, and continuous improvement of everything it does. Although it's sometimes compared to a private equity firm, Danaher is different -- it buys and builds companies for the long-term, not for rapid fix-up and sale.

If you want to make a change in your life you need to change something in your routine. Gretchen Rubin writes a lot about this in her book about habits , which I read to figure out how to stop eating when I’m anxious. When curing anxious eating seemed hopeless, I thought at least I could figure out how to stop reading articles and magazines and go back to reading books.
