ARTArticleFear of Conflict in Team-Building — What’s So Scary?Team dysfunction is at the heart of much organizational dysfunction. After all, people comprise teams and teams create organizations. Or, let’s work backwards: if we want to improve organizations, we need to develop individual people.

The report was a day late and you still ...ARTArticleFinding Opportunity Between Negative ThoughtsThere's a moment when negative thoughts arise in your head, unbidden. In that moment, you need to decide how you are going to think about a given situation or person. You know what I'm talking about. It's that moment where you feel the urge to indulge in a negative thought or say a negative comment, just as you would to scratch an itchy scab.

They most likely don’t deserve forgiveness, but we don’t deserve it either. So if forgiveness isn’t necessarily deserved then why do humans pursue vendettas across the generations, encourage future generations to fight one another with a goal of stamping each other out, bankrupt themselves defeating their perceived enemies and sow salt into the earth so nothing will grow in their land, etc ?ARTArticleFounder of Global 100 company Pring shares 9 insights on hacking, running companies and employeesNothing to Something Muhammad Nasrullah has done something that not many people have done – take his startup from nothing to something, being recognized as a Global 100 company by Red Herring in 2012.

But will I actually do it—go from knowing to doing—is the dangling question after Napoleon Hill’s quote above. Great self-development and self-help sources of information are now nearing 1 billion “hits” on Google, and growing by the second. Maybe the problem is that this is too much information overload.

Yes, we say that again and again, and yes, you need to hear that again and again—as, by the way, do I. We all have a comfort zone—and even if it expands, we still have a comfort zone. Every desire, dream, and ambition that you have not realized lies outside that comfort zone. Everything that you have is within that comfort zone.
