Until recently, I've been guilty of separating strategy, leadership, and sales in my work with clients. In part, that's because a lot of organizations view each as a unique discipline. While they consist of different components in the equation to drive results, I've observed that they are inextricably linked in high performance organizations. I think you will see that too when you read,   Sales - Where Strategy Goes To Die. 

I've worked with a cartoonist to capture some of the humorous things I see in organizations. I'll share them every other month and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them.

Try a short walk-preferably outside-in the middle of your workday. Every one of us needs to add more movement in to our days. And it's a bonus if you can get outside (many of you work in offices without going outside at all during the day, so getting fresh air may feel like rarefied air.) Don't talk on the phone or read anything on a screen. Just walk--even its five or ten minutes. It's a pretty easy way to increase your energy and boost creative thinking and clearer thinking. I won't bore you with the science behind it, but if you are curious you'll find one such study from the Journal of Experimental Psychology here.
