Be More Mindful During Your Work Day


Many of us operate on autopilot at work, but the ability to maintain focus and concentration is a crucial skill. The good news is you can build this skill by incorporating mindfulness exercises into your day. When you wake up, spend two minutes in bed simply noticing your breath. Resist the urge to check email first thing in the morning, which leads to an onslaught of distractions. When you get to the office, take 10 minutes at your desk or in your car to close your eyes, relax, sit upright, and focus on your breath. Set a timer to remind yourself to do a one-minute mindfulness exercise every hour, which will keep you from resorting to autopilot. On your way to meetings, remember to return to your breath. Finally, on your commute home, turn off your phone, shut off the radio, and simply be, so you arrive home fully present.

How to Innovate and Execute.

How do you meet the performance requirements of your existing business—one that is still thriving—while dramatically reinventing it?

This book solves once and for all the practical dilemma of how to align an organization on the critical but competing demands of innovation.

Would You Know If You're a Toxic Colleague?


No one likes a toxic coworker. Even the most difficult people would probably be the first to agree. Which raises a question: If you were “toxic,” would you even know it? Here are three reasons you might seem toxic, and strategies for changing your behavior if necessary:

  1. You seem cold. To turn up your warmth quotient, make a conscious attempt to pay attention to other people. Make eye contact and hold it, both when you’re speaking and when you’re listening. And above all else, actually focus on what other people are saying — your colleagues have a need to feel heard, just as you do.
  2. You seem selfish. How much time do you spend really thinking about your colleagues? About their perspectives? Be curious, and ask questions to learn more about the coworkers you don’t know well. Show empathy.
  3. People think of you as a stickler for the rules. Make a point of being more flexible about rules, particularly those that are neither unethical nor illegal to break. When you have to stick to the rules, explain your thinking and why doing so is good for your team.

Adapted from "Signs You Might Be a Toxic Colleague," by Heidi Grant Halvorson
