I am very gratified to have lived to see a revolution in the field of work/life: Everyone - men and women, employees and employers - now has this issue top of mind.

People struggle most with seeing new ways of doing things and often need help in breaking through their tradition-bound mindsets.

Skilled leaders focus on "we," not "me."

We all want to have a rich and meaningful work life and a fulfilling life beyond work.

"Leading" is about mobilizing people toward valued goals.

Firms that fully embrace the needs and interests of the whole person will win today's competition for the best talent.

Knowing what matters most, what I call "being real," is the alpha and omega for leaders.

When employers no longer offer secure full-time employment with benefits, then it's hard to expect employees to be loyal, engaged, and maximally productive.

Curiosity about the world and questioning of the status quo to open minds to alternative visions of the future are essential leadership skills. And they can be learned.

The worst thing you can do, despite the innumerable obstacles we confront, is to not try.

The principles that apply to engagement for employees are the same as those that apply to supervisors.

Happiness lies in simplicityComplexity brings anxiety.

Over the moon about strong support for the National Health Service - an institution I will defend to my dying day, second only to Everton FC.

The best help that benevolence and philanthropy can give is that which induces everybody to help himself.

I assume that the point of American democracy is you can express any point of view you want.

It's a good news - bad news type of situation. The good news is that we won; the bad news is that my average is 9.00.

The question we do not see when we are young is whether we own pride or are owned by it.

Good Government is not intrusive the people are hardly aware of it; the next best is felt yet loved; then comes that which is known and feared; the worst government is hated.

I'm totally not kidding. Life is too short. This is all too hard to do to actually be kidding about the whole thing.

Parenting, as an unpaid occupation outside the world of public power, entails lower status, less power, and less control of resources than paid work.

There is clearly much left to be done, and whatever else we are going to do, we had better get on with it.
