It is possible to be a kind, caring leader without burning out but demands on modern leaders can make it difficult to achieve. Business leaders are now expected to embody a wide range of (often contradictory) personality traits. They are expected to be decisive yet flexible, empathetic yet analytical, and clear yet nuanced. It is an ever-growing list of expectations that is exhausting and unrealistic for any single person.

Economic stresses are seemingly everywhere. And a cocktail of social media storms, combative politics, and lowest-common-denominator press doesn’t help. There is just so much negative information swirling around us, and inevitably this will bleed into business life. But if we think of everyday tasks as mathematical sets, we can train our brains to operate objectively and create a more efficient way of understanding and accepting what is going on around us. We can treat what is around us as simply a set of knowledge.

When your business needs new and different ideas, there isn’t a magic creativity tap you can turn on and off. For individuals in the workplace, being recognized as an ‘ideas person’ is considered a badge of honor. Someone who excels at resolving hard challenges and who can identify interesting growth opportunities on demand is a valuable person to any organization. They are also rare.

In 2007, The Legal Services Act, sought to liberalize and encourage competition in the market for legal services in England and Wales. This statute, together with the withdrawal of Legal Aid (for all but the most urgent cases) means that there is no longer funding to assist consumers financially in bringing an action or defending an action through the courts.

A hugely significant study in the British Medical Journal into age-related cognitive decline and dementia has stated that changing your diet and lifestyle from bad to good cuts your future risk of developing dementia by a massive nine times.
The study also shows, significantly, that whether or not you inherit the ApoE4 ‘Alzheimer’s gene’ that one in five people carry, it makes no difference to the positive reduction in risk achievable by simple diet and lifestyle changes.

When a workplace challenge needs to be solved, the path most often trodden leads to people sitting in a room brainstorming. However, decades of research point to this being less effective than alternate thinking techniques.

In the UK, the majority of companies fail to scale and sell because they don’t start with the exit in mind. Often, an entrepreneur comes up with a great idea and they develop their product(s) and expect organic growth. They see some revenue but only enough to tread water, so they remain a small business and make it their day job.

Roaming is one of the greatest technical achievements of the mobile phone sector. It requires the complex organization of mobile operators, phone manufacturers, masts, and regulatory bodies all working seamlessly. The service is 40 years old—mobile roaming started in Scandinavia in 1982—and for many of us, using our mobile phones when traveling overseas is something we expect.

Yet some customers traveling to the USA and some European countries have already experienced challenges: no phone calls or SMS, or even data with specific operators and certain devices (even in areas that were perfectly covered before). Many mobile operators are decommissioning their older networks (2G and 3G) in favor of more efficient 4G and 5G networks. These new networks are not yet fully supported for roaming by all operators.
