I’ve asked many a business owner or CEO who their most “expensive” employee is. They typically say it is themselves or whoever the highest paid employee is. But that is often not true. An organization’s most expensive employee is their least engaged employee. Their least engaged employee may not be just disengaged, they may be actively disengaged. That means they are acting in a way that’s likely to cause other employees to disengage too.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

I wish I had a dollar for every person, who, when confronted with their negativity, claimed they weren’t being negative, they were just being realistic. Actually I wouldn’t mind having a buck or two for every time I said that too. The truth is when we’re constantly pointing out the negative in most every situation we’re probably being negative. That’s unhelpful to everyone involved in the situation, especially ourselves.
