Oleh: Guritno Wirawan, SE Bocah 12 tahun, Robert, membenci guru matematikanya. Sang guru membuatnya kesal dengan soal cerita dungu dan tidak mengizinkannya memakai kalkulator. Lalu, dalam mimpinya, ia bertemu setan angka yang menunjukkan padanya apa sesungguhnya matematika itu: nol dan satu, rangkaian tak terhingga dan bilangan rasional, bilangan prima dan probabilitas. Tentu saja, Anda bukan Robert, tokoh dalam buku laris untuk anak dan makhluk berpikir lainnya berjudul  Setan Angka: Sebuah Petualangan Matematika  karya penulis kelahiran Jerman, Hans Magnus Enzensberger. Anda seorang pengusaha. Bisa jadi Anda lagi kesal, seperti Robert, karena bisnis Anda tidak juga bersinar. Tapi Anda tidak sedang bermimpi—apalagi bertemu setan. Anda sedang terjaga. Di depan Anda tergelar bercarik-carik kertas. Di sana Anda mendapati kenyataan bahwa bisnis Anda sedang dalam perkara serius.

If you're not devoting a small percentage of your time to working for free, you're making a big mistake. Getty   If you don’t devote a small percentage of your time to working for free, you’re making a mistake. Whoa, wait, hold on a second.  Sheathe your sword  of value. Don’t go all cold-blooded capitalist on me. Hear me out. Most entrepreneurs don’t do pro bono work. (By pro bono I don’t mean for charity, I mean for another entrepreneur.) A friend swears “pro bono” is Latin for “no way.” He says, “I’m against the idea of anyone working for free. As a more colorful person said, there are two kinds of articles on Huffington Post: Those that shouldn’t be written at all, and those that are too good to give away. I don’t think anyone should give away their profession.” You probably agree. You invested significant time and money into your business or profession. You provide value.

When other people use these words to describe your talents, it's OK. When you  do it, you just sound like a pompous jerk. shutterstock images   Picture this: You meet someone new. "What do you do?" he asks. "I'm an architect," you say. "Oh, really?" he answers. "Have you designed any buildings I've seen?" "Maybe," you reply. "We did the new library at the university..." "Oh wow," he says. "I've seen it. That's a beautiful building..." And you're off. Maybe he's a potential client, maybe not... but either way you've made a great impression. You sound awesome. Now picture this: You meet someone new. "What do you do?" he asks. "I'm a passionate, innovative, dynamic provider of architectural services who uses a collaborative approach to create and deliver outstanding customer experiences." And he's off, never to be seen again... because you sound like ...

Forget good to great. Here's what makes a great employee remarkable. shutterstock images   Great employees are reliable, dependable, proactive, diligent, great leaders and great followers... they possess a wide range of easily-defined—but hard to find—qualities. A few hit the next level. Some employees are remarkable, possessing qualities that may not appear on performance appraisals but nonetheless make a major impact on performance. Here are eight qualities of remarkable employees: 1. They ignore job descriptions.  The smaller the company, the more important it is that employees can think on their feet, adapt quickly to shifting priorities, and do whatever it takes, regardless of role or position, to get things done. When a key customer's project is in jeopardy, remarkable employees know without being told there's a problem and jump in without being asked—even if it's not their job. 2. They’re eccentric...  The best employees are often a little different: quirky, some...
