Ah, another week gone by, so quickly. Well, here’s a little sustenance with your morning coffee. Let me know how you like it.
One of our endearing human qualities is that we are great rationalizers. If something is not going our way, we can explain why things are really different than they appear and things are OK – no matter what the reality. This propensity creates challenges, for it glosses over our true experiences, and we are then prone to having the same problems plague us over and over again.
What’s the difference between cheating and innovation? In
Appropriate Cheating in the Nine Dot Problem, the inimitable Seth Godin says, not as much as you think. You won’t believe how many solutions there are to the draw-a-line-through-the-nine-dots problem.
Some of the greatest sales wisdom looks remarkably like some of the greatest life wisdom. Coincidence? I think not.
Who wouldn’t want a higher level of emotional intelligence? Studies have shown that a high emotional quotient (or EQ) boosts career success, entrepreneurial potential, leadership talent, health, relationship satisfaction, humor, and happiness. It is also the best antidote to work stress and it matters in every job – because all jobs involve dealing with people, and people with higher EQ are more rewarding to deal with.
Smile, breathe and go slowly, Dieter |

Thank You!
First, I’d like to thank you all for your comments to the question ” Does spirituality have a place in business?” – for me it was a real inspiring experience!
While most agreed upon the need of spirituality in business (if it is not religious), there were actually only few “real life” examples given. Which leads me to the question: what exactly does it mean to you to life spiritually, both in business as well as in private life, what do you do differently in your day-to-day activities?
Comment here and/or – if you are on LinkedIn – in one of your groups (or join Personal Leadership on LinkedIn). Alternatively choose from among your favorite social media.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Dieter
