'It recently occurred to me that there’s a lot leaders can learn from 5-year-olds. For example: Use what you have – Don’t have a dollhouse? Use a shoe box! Don’t be afraid to use stuff in a new way – Ignore that nice stable mommy bought you for your toy horses, make your own using a bead necklace. Be insatiably curious – Enough said. Make time to play – As Mary Poppins taught us, the potential for fun lurks where you least expect it.

'I’ve been having more and more conversations about diversity lately. Many of the people I speak to jump to the conclusion that I’m somehow discussing employment practices. Not true…selection is such a small part of diversity. I have had somewhat of an epiphany on the topic recently (thanks in large part to Joe Gerstandt.) As I look around my world, my coworkers, friends, family members, and neighbors, I’ve realized that each of us is different.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I have an employee who drinks a LOT of water - probably well over a gallon a day while she’s at work. This means that every 30 minutes she’s either in the bathroom, or filling her water glass. I’ve recommended combining these into her break or bringing a jug to keep at her desk, but then she’ll ask if that means I’m not going to allow her to go to the bathroom when she needs to.

Tom Friedman had an interesting op/ed piece in the New York Times last week entitled, " The Start-Up of You ," in which he makes the very compelling argument that one of the fundamental changes we are experiencing in work today is the need for employees to think like entrepreneurs: Whatever you may be thinking when you apply for a job today, you can be sure the employer is asking this: Can this person add value every hour, every day — more than a worker in India, a robot or a computer?
