There are two types of leadership—“me” and “we.” Where do you fall? Do you like your office door closed, no distractions allowed? Or do you prefer your door open, interruptions welcome? Beware that by tucking yourself away in the corner office, you are isolating yourself—and successful leadership requires collaboration , the opposite of isolation. So if you’re about to lock the door behind you, think instead about leaving it open, literally and figuratively.

The current obsession with engagement and motivation is evident every time you read the business media these days. This is understandable in many ways, not least because it seems true that firms and employees are often working in an atmosphere of mistrust. But one thing that is often noticeable when a profession such as HR gets itself into a debate of this nature is the gap that can exist between practitioners and everybody else offering a view.

Whether you realize it or not, your day is full of processes—established sequences of activities designed to achieve specific goals.

Or, in some cases, you may have inherited a process.

Every job has some degree of repetitious, uninspiring tasks that can often be boring and exhausting. Most people dread tasks like stuffing envelopes or filling out expense reports, and would prefer more fulfilling and stimulating work.

It is not what happens to you that counts. It is how you react to what happens to you—especially when there are unexpected problems. Here are four things you can do to ensure that your attitude is the very best it can be, no matter the circumstance: 1. Focus on the future. Whatever challenges you face, focus on the future rather than on the past. Instead of worrying about who did what and who is to blame, focus on where you want to be and what you want to do.
