We all know that kids ask a lot of questions. But here’s the real mystery: Why don’t adults ask more questions? Blame it on a grown-up world that tends to put more value on having answers than asking for them. Many of us think of a “questioner” as someone who’s more a thinker than a doer, whereas the successful go-getter is supposed to be confident, decisive and certain.

This challenge has manifested itself in various ways – from the Great Resignation to more recently the notion of quiet quitting.

The following are what I believe to be the basics of good character. Miss one of these, and you’ll find a weak link in your character—one that might be your leadership’s undoing. 1. Integrity. Integrity is a good catchword that is similar to character but provides us with a different way of looking at the ideas of character. The root of integrity means “whole” or “undivided,” and that’s a terrific way to help us understand what integrity is—an undivided life.

Building a team of independent contractors is a great way to start building your business efficiency and capacity. You can add (wo)manpower to address a project or ongoing needs without getting bogged down in the Human Resources process. However, the unspoken and great risk with contractors is they aren’t employees, so their emotional buy-in, loyalty, and trust are easier to break.

As any successful person will honestly admit, failure happens, and we’ve all had our fair share of it. But from each failure, we learn two equally valuable lessons: That there was at least one reason we failed, and that we can rebound from that failure. So, why do we fail? And how do we fix it? According to Shiv Khera, author of You Can Win , failures most often occur for one of seven reasons.

Team members don’t understand the context of the change, the importance of the improvement, the goals of the project, or their role in bringing the new system to reality.
