In the business world, it can be tempting to believe we’re all operating in the same objective reality. After all, we deal in things like facts and data. We forget sometimes that reality is actually quite subjective; it’s shaped by the observer. Different people can interpret the same facts and data in entirely different ways. In doing so, they can—in essence—create their own version of reality and shift the course of their future.

You have time for whatever you want to have time for.

All signs point to it. Within the last few weeks, you may have uncovered your grill for the first time in eight or nine months and fired up some New York strips. A little corn on the cob, freshly-sliced watermelon and homemade cherry cobbler rounded out your family’s all-American picnic. School’s out, so your house is bustling with kids (your own, plus their friends).

Whether t hey were part of the industrial revolution or the service economy, managers performed similar enforcement functions. They made sure their dire ct reports could do their jobs—and do them over and over again with great consistency until they were told to do otherwise.

A really fundamental task for assistants is organising your department team meetings. If your organisation is anything like the businesses I used to work for I bet you organise A LOT of team meetings.

I have been reading Lord Sacks daily thoughts "Celebrating Life" and was impressed by his piece on "The Prisoners Dilemma" which I have written about previously and in my new book.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

I’ve written about triggers before , but I’ve yet to write about signals. Signals are different than triggers. Signals are indicators that something needs to happen, and triggers are the incidents that make things happen. Signals often come in waves, sometimes one after the other. Other times, signals are spaced far apart. Triggers show up once and lead to action.

We don’t have much parking available on our street anymore. All of the spaces have been taken up by tenants of homes in the neighbourhood and visitors overnighting more than ever before. Our driveway slants in such a way that getting in and out of our car is nearly impossible when we’re parked there, so we have parked on the street in front of our house for over a decade.

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change. Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation. In finance, where precision and process rule, navigating change can feel especially disruptive.

Media generally takes up most of the marketing budget for a company, as they pay to have their adverts on the TV, radio, internet ads, as well as sponsored posts on social media. In some cases, this is one of the biggest spending areas a company will make. Apple, for example, increased its ad spend by a massive 50 per cent in 2015, to a record breaking $1.8 billion. photo credit: Elvert Barnes / Flickr.
