Mostly stories of post facto success framed in psychology of everyday life without reference to actual experiments and their validity.
Its interesting but not robust…

This book was actually a composition of several articles and some I found fairly helpful when it comes to managing both as a business leader and yourself. Overall it wasn’t extremely enthralling to read.

HBR’s strategic marketing articles describe what is common practice in today’s marketing world. Therefore most modern companies use techniques as described in this book to achieve better market performance. Articles range chronologically from the 1960ies to the mid 00s but the message always feels relevant. A good primer for the MBA student.

My notes:
1) how can I be sure that I’ll be happy in my career
2) How can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse and family become an enduring source of happiness
3) How can I be sure that I stay out of jail
Clear sense of purpose, without that you will waste time, talent, and energy on things that don’t matter
Opportunity to learn, grow in Responsibilities, contribute, and be recognized.
Building up people
Business failure offer trace back to the need for immediate results/gratification
Consensus amongst teams
“Just this once” is poison
Life is an unending stream of extensions circumstances. It is easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time rather than 98% of the time
Unlimited learning opportunities
Where can you place your self to make the greatest contribution?
Whenever you make a key decision, write down what you think will happen. A year later compare the results for feedback analysis.
Ask yourself what your greatest contribution could be to your organizations efforts
Know how you and your peers preform
This is how I work well. This is what I am good at. These are my values. This is what I want and expect to deliver. What about you?
Wherever there is success, there has to be failure.

Total leadership
Reflect on work, home,community, and self and reflect on how imprint each is to you and how much time and energy you devote to each and how satisfied you are with each.
Based on that reflection. Brainstorm small experiments that could improve great satisfaction of all four domains
Set goals as follows: life area, experiments goals, how will you measure success, implementation steps.

What to ask the person in the mirror:
- am I communicating a vision for my business to my employees? If the employees were asked, could they articulate the vision and priorities?
- Am I spending my time in ways that enable me to achieve my priorities
- Do I give timely and direct feedback they can act on?
- Do I have subordinated who will tell me things I may not want to hear but need to hear?
- How do I behave under pressure
- have I identified potential successors? Are you coaching them and giving them challenging assignments?
- Am I are under to business changes that may require shifts in how we run the company?
- Does my leadership style reflect who I truly am?

HBR's series are very insightful and prove to be super useful in real life, as many detailed examples and lessons are presented in all articles. Loved this one in particular because I get to compare and associate the events with those in my field of work. Truly worth reading!
