When my colleague Elana Varon and I were discussing the many changes happening in today's workforce recently, she told me an anecdote worth repeating here:

"I used to keep a file with information about freelance writers I worked with. It included whatever information they'd sent me about their subject expertise and work samples, as well as assignments I'd given them in the past. If I had to assign a story, the file helped to remind me about which writers knew about a particular topic." Read more here 

 

Make a list of the 5 leaders you most admire. They can be from business, social media, politics, technology, the sciences, any field. Now ask yourself why you admire them.
