If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader. ~John Quincy Adams. Over the decades, many companies could not compete with global competition. Among the ones that did succeed, most could not sustain their position in the market. Leaders like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Warren Buffet, with their vision, unshakable determination, and persistent hard work, led their respective companies to great heights.

There’s been a lot of talk about emotional intelligence in the last few years. Many people believe that a person’s EQ (emotional quotient) is just as important as IQ , if not more so. And there’s business data to back it up: PepsiCo reported that their high-EQ executives were 10% more productive than those whose EQ was lower. L’Oreal reported that their high-EQ salespeople sold $2.5 million more than their low-EQ counterparts.

Some organizations adjust pay annually by a minimal amount (like 2 or 3 percent) to keep up with inflation and the rising cost of living.

Humpback whales are “filter feeders,” collecting their prey by swimming forward with their mouths wide open. Although they do eat and require larger prey such as sardines, anchovies, salmon, haddock, and other sea life, it is incredible that a creature 12–16 meters in length and weighing 25–30 metric tons can survive mostly on krill and other zooplankton—creatures that are practically microscopic.
