How to define Continuous Improvement? Small steps matter, especially when they’re all taken in the same direction. And there are plenty of examples of innovations that have made a difference – not through a sudden big bang but, instead, through a slow, continuous attack on a problem. Driving incremental improvements may seem like taking only small steps, but those small steps combined can add up to big change.

If you have ever felt challenged solving a problem, or struggled to come up with an idea, there is one piece of advice that many people would give: Sleep on it For hundreds of years, artists, scientists and entrepreneurs have told tales about how some of their best ideas came to them in their sleep, during their dreams.

The truth is that we can’t change anyone’s mind. Only they can do that. Yet as David McRaney explains in his new book, "How Minds Change," there are a number of new techniques that can help us be much more persuasive, but they don’t require brilliant sophistry or snappy rhetoric. They involve more listening than speaking, and understanding the context in which beliefs arise.

In one of my favorite essays the physicist Richard Feynman wrote “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that.” He goes on further to say that simply being honest isn’t enough, you also need to “bend over backwards” to provide information so that others may prove you wrong.

Mesoamerican Wheeled Toy In Mexico archaeologists have found toy models made by the ancient Olmec peoples some two thousand years ago. What is remarkable about these models of animals is that they have little wheels on them so that children could push them along the ground. It appears that the Olmec people – one of the oldest known civilizations of the Americas – had invented the wheel.

Empathy, as powerful as it can potentially be, is widely misunderstood. It is often paired with compassion in the context of creating a more beneficial workplace. That is, of course, a reasonable and worthy objective, but the one-dimensional use of the term is misleading and limits its value. When seen only through the lens of making others more comfortable, empathy can seem like a “nice to have,” trait rather than a valuable competency and an important source of competitive advantage.

In the early 20th century, the great sociologist Max Weber noted that the sweeping industrialization taking place would lead to a change in organization. As cottage industries were replaced by large enterprises, leadership would have to become less traditional and charismatic and more organized and rational. He also foresaw that jobs would need to be broken down into small, specific tasks and be governed by a system of hierarchy, authority and responsibility.
