15 Favorite Blogs from Leadership, Management, and Life in the Workplace

For the past four years I have shared insights from academic research, popular media, and workplace insights in my blog, Leadership, Management, and Life in the Workplace. I thank those who have followed my blogs over the years and welcome those new to my website. And I thank those of you who have read Decoding the Workplace: 50 Keys to Understanding People in Organizations, just announced as the 2016 winner best career book by the "sundance" of indie books.

Recently I have been asked what are my favorite blogs from the past four years. An interesting question I thought. So here are some of my favorites in no particular order. Somewhere in these you may find something useful. 

• The importance of beneficiary contact  
• Finding time to be proactive
• Creating a successful workplace
• The importance of conscientiousness
• Exiting through the entrance
• On Gary Player and Nelson Mandela
• On Greg Popovich and Henri Fayol
• On Coach K
• The Messy Office
• On life-long learning and reading
• On grit
• On perseverance
• On the importance of acquiring talent
• On authentic and servant leadership
• The most googled leadership theories
