The Focused Leader - HBR
A primary task of leadership is to direct attention. To do so, leaders must learn to focus their own attention. When we speak about being focused, we commonly mean thinking about one thing while filtering out distractions. But a wealth of recent research in neuroscience shows that we focus in many ways, for different purposes, drawing on different neural pathways--some of which work in concert, while others tend to stand in opposition.
Grouping these modes of attention into three broad buckets- focusing on yourself, focusing on others, and focusing on the wider world--sheds new light on the practice of many essential leadership skills. Focusing inward and focusing constructively on others helps leaders cultivate the primary elements of emotional intelligence. A fuller understanding of how they focus on the wider world can improve their ability to devise strategy, innovate, and manage organizations.

No birthday celebrations for Amitabh Bachchan this year
It is going to be a quiet 76th birthday for India's most iconic film actor. Amitabh Bachchan won't be celebrating his birthday this year. A source from the Bachchan family reveals, "Shweta (the Big B's daughter) lost her father-in-law Rajan Nanda a few months ago, while more recently Shweta's mom-in-law Ritu Nanda lost her mother, the much-missed Krishna Raj Kapoor. On top of that one of Mr Bachchan's favourite co-stars Rishi Kapoor has left for medical treatment in the US for a very serious ailment." The source says the Big B is deeply shaken by these losses.
