There is some rich content this week. Take advantage.

A 4-Step, Simple Strategy To Have a Less Stress-Filled Life  “Are you ever stressed? Silly question, right?We can never remove all the issues of our life that bring us stress. We have to somehow learn to navigate our lives through stress. I have some easy suggestions. I have shared this strategy so many times. I hope you find it helpful.” This is from Ron Edmondson, who always provides something practical.

On Leadership, Authenticity and the Birth of Linked 2 Leadership  “Studies have shown that it takes about 10,000 hours to be an expert in something. Our studies show it only takes 10 minutes to read one of our expert interviews, where you learn from the experts!” This is a very interesting post about the beginnings of linked2leadership, which I have highlighted many times. You will gain even greater respect for Tom Shulte.

Leading People When They Know More Than You Do  How do you change leadership styles from being a specialist to being a generalist? There will come a day when you will lead people with more experience than you and more knowledgeable than you. Will you be ready? This is good post from the HBR.

Communication Mistakes To Avoid in A Difficult Conversation  “Some time or another everyone faces a time when a difficult conversation is necessary. It’s in those moments that your true leadership is tested.” Lolly Daskal gives us 5 solid principles for tackling this tough scenario.

7 Surprising Prayers by Famous Christian Leaders  Paul Sohn is on a blogging sabbatical, but this is a guest post on his blog from back in May that is worth reading. These prayers will challenge, comfort, and inspire you.
