Make Curiosity A Wonder-ful Habit.

Maybe Its Time We Get A Toolbox That Doesnt Just Count Whats Easily Counted, The Tangible In Life, But Actually Counts What We Most Value, The Things That Are Intangible.

Whether We're Conscious Of It Or Not, Our Work And Personal Lives Are Made Up Of Daily Rituals, Including When We Eat Our Meals, How We Shower Or Groom, Or How We Approach Our Daily Descent Into The Digital World Of Email Communication.

Every Five Years, I Like To Do A Big Birthday Party. I Had My 45th Birthday With 75 Friends In Marrakesh, Morocco.

As Leaders, We Understand That Intangibles Are Important, But We Don't Have A Clue How To Measure Them.

I Do Interview Senior Candidates At The Home Office Or Many Of Our Hotel Or Restaurant General Manager Candidates. My Two Favorite Questions Are "tell Me About A Failure In Your Career, What You Learned From It, And How You've Leveraged This Lesson" And "all Of Us Are Misperceived At One Time Or Another. What's The Most Common Way You're Misperceived In The Workplace And Why?" Both Of These Questions Require A Certain Amount Of Self-awareness And A Willingness To Not Give Pat, Normal Answers That We Offer Experience In Interviews.
