At the start of trading, US stocks opened almost 1% lower but immediately bounced up and, now, are flat following a wave of buy orders at the open. The yield on 10-year US government bonds is unchanged. The oil market is the outlayer, and a positive one price wise for a change: up 8%. #markets #stocks #oil #bonds #economy #interestrates #equities #stockmarket #investmentmanagement #investing #volatility #volatility …see more

Just over two years ago, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos sent an interesting request, asking for ideas as to where he should donate part of his fortune. One sentence, in particular, stood out: "I'm thinking I want much of my philanthropic activity to be helping people in the here and now--short term--at the intersection of urgent need and lasting impact." URGENT NEED AND LASTING IMPACT. You've probably heard that the Amazon rain forest, the largest rain forest on earth, is on fire. And people around the world have been taking to Twitter--to encourage the world's richest man to do something about a problem that is definitely of "urgent need and lasting impact." If you think about it, the idea for Bezos to support an Amazon rescue makes perfect sense. In today's column, I break down three reasons why. #leadership #management #BestAdvice #BusinessIntelligence #careers #Amazon #JeffBezos #EmotionalIntelligence #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more

A few years ago, a research team at Google set out on a quest to figure out what makes teams successful. They code-named the study Project Aristotle, a tribute to the philosopher’s famous quote: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” After interviewing hundreds of executives, team leads, and team members, the team found a number of elements that contributed to a team’s effectiveness—but the single greatest was something called “psychological safety.” “In a team with high psychological safety, teammates feel safe to take risks around their team members,” wrote the researchers. “They feel confident that no one on the team will embarrass or punish anyone else for admitting a mistake, asking a question, or offering a new idea.” Any strong bridge must be built on a solid foundation—and for relationships, that foundation is trust. If you trust someone is looking after your best interests, you will do almost anything that person asks of you.

Convincing someone of a truth is VERY different from motivating them to do something about it. In order to stir others to action, you have to reach them emotionally. Artists are experts at eliciting an emotional response. Think about your favorite actor, dancer, or musician. They appeal to you because of their ability to make you FEEL. They get you to laugh, to cry, to dance when nobody’s looking. Or think back to your school days. Can you remember your favorite teacher or professor? They had that remarkable ability to bring dry facts to life. The stories they told, the personal interest they showed—seeing them was the highlight of your day. Possibly, they played a profound role in shaping who you are today. Although the context in which you seek influence is different, the principles are the same. To have any chance of motivating others to action, you have to stir their emotions.
