It's how we measure success that is killing enthusiasm.   This side of the equation—how employers need to change—has been researched and written about ad nauseam for decades. In fact, as the article pointed out, Gallup has consistently found that 90% of workers are either not engaged, or actively disengaged. Only 10% are actively engaged.   That’s crazy...

Provoking Your Greatness - Misti BurmeisterThe Secret to Getting Really, Really Good at Something NewA couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to spend a whole week with my 11-year-old niece, Brooke.   The day after she flew in from Colorado, we headed over to my gym here in Baltimore. It’s a Crossfit gym, so there’s lots of open area and rings that hang from the celling for things like “muscle up’s.”   With a gymnastics background, Brooke had a whole new appreciation for these rings. My jaw dropped as she put one foot in each ring, and then dropped into a split. Actually, I...
