The week’s Leadership Caffeine post: “To Grow as a Leader, Master a Second Discipline.” Inspired by the late management thinker and prolific author, Peter Drucker, there’s a strong career case for investing time in mastering something outside of your work life.

For the latest, “Just One Thing” post, the focus turns to the world of neuroscience: “Learn to Overcome Your Negativity Bias.” It turns out, we may be prewired to emphasized the negatives over the positives, but that doesn’t mean we can’t rewire ourselves to focus on the positive.

Enjoy your weekend!
