To take the best known examples, studies have suggested that being grateful can improve well-being, physical health, can strengthen social relationships, produce positive emotional states and help us cope with stressful times in our lives. But we also say thank you because we want the other person to know we value what they’ve done for us and, maybe, encourage them to help us again in the future. It’s this aspect of gratitude that Adam M. Grant and Francesco Gino examine in a series of new studies published recently in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Grant & Gino, 2010). They wanted to see what effect gratitude has o...

After all, if you were never going to pay $12,000 for a real Rolex, who is really hurt if you wear a fake that cost you $30? Rolex didn’t really lose [...] CommentsBut your brain doesn't always know it knows!

So what do some of us do? We buy a cheap knockoff or “gray market” item that looks just like the designer brand name, without the designer price. It signals to others — we hope — that we’re as cool and “with it” as anyone else (even when we can’t afford to be). But we may be getting more than we thought. We are all aware of the potential consequences of buying fake, counterfeit items on the street — you might get a shabby knockoff or pay too much for it. But outside of questionable quality of such goods, there may be others costs you’re not even aware of. Buying counterfeit goods may actually make us feel less authentic — just like the cheap, knocko...

I hope you enjoy it! Having personally delivered more than 1,100 full-day sessions and helped more than 100 entrepreneurial leadership teams implement EOS in their companies, I am still surprised to learn that five simple things are still at the core of great management. One of the 20 tools in the EOS Toolbox that we teach all of our clients is something called LMA. This stands for Leadership, Management, and Accountability. Under the category of management, we teach five simple disciplines, and from our most inexperienced managers to our most experienced ones, these come as an “aha” and they create a huge impact for them and their teams. Before applying the five disciplines, two truths mus... Phil Gerbyshak blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3420782 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:16:29 +0100 3420782
