FROM THE MAILBAG:
Creating your own wisdom journal: Putting thoughts down in a journal is a useful leadership exercise. When doing so, it is important to include more than what is happening now but also what could go wrong. (https://goo.gl/GKPSNu)

Leaders Can't Make Excuses: We all make excuses. Whether they cover up for why we were

late (“There was no parking”), provide a reason as to why we didn’t do that errand that our

spouse requested (“It didn’t get into my to-do list”), seek to justify why we broke our diet

(“There we SO many sweets on the table”), or attempt to explain why we didn’t get the business

deal (“My competition swept in and undercut me”), we use excuses throughout our day to justify

our errors and explain away our failings. (https://goo.gl/8gMVHP)

What to do when morale is poor: At many companies, low morale is a fact of life. Any number of problems can stifle people, leaving them unmotivated and struggling to do their job. (https://goo.gl/q67K3d)
