All leaders have different leadership traits, characteristics and personal habits. But one habit that rings true amongst the echelon’s of top leadership is personal fitness.

How can we carve out a plan that fits into our daily busy schedules? Leaderonomics Teambuilding Leader, Khoo Hsien Piao discusses this and more in this podcast.

40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s

In this leadership analysis, Roshan Thiran reviews Daniel Pink's viral video, "40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s," and reframes its core lessons as a practical guide for today's leaders. Moving beyond simple life advice, he identifies three primary themes essential for building effective and compassionate teams: - The People Principle: Why culture, based on the "No Jerks" rule and the "Love Wins" philosophy, is a leader's primary responsibility. - The Action Principle: How a bias for "doing," persistence, and consistency—a "Gospel of Doing"—ultimately beats strategy and planning. - The Humility Principle: Why the combination of humility and curiosity is the engine for all personal and professional growth. This article simplifies 40 powerful concepts into an actionable framework for anyone looking to build better teams and become a better leader.
