Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Although there are many methodologies that a leader can practice to manage their emails effectively, a consistent and thought-through process is the most effective way to systemize and respond to emails and is a step of stewardship for the effective leader.I have worked with CEOs for two decades, and almost every CEO deals with an enormous amount of emails and struggles with how to manage them effectively. In one survey that I conducted with over 1,000 CEOs and business owners, 93% stated that they struggle with email management. Through my experience as…
We will never know who spoke the first sentence or what they said, but we can have some fun speculating. Perhaps it came out of the mouth of a Stone Age man who hoped to defeat a rival and win the affections of a young woman. He might have sidled up to his love interest and, while furtively pointing at his competitor, whispered gently in her ear something that translates into English as “shit-head”. Ridiculous? Not if you are guided by the research of linguist Ljiljana Progovac. She points out that although Charles Darwin described language as “half art, half…

QUESTION: Marty, is it possible we are witnessing the greatest financial trap to unsuspecting global citizens as they ‘build a digital prison’ as many opine OR is this the perfect monetary system that will give opportunity to impoverished nations to rise out of the ashes? We see kids, millenials to Gen X, buying it like it’s Thor’s hammer on some Marvel video game yet its consequences are real unlike the Marvel video game coins and so on. This video game is the real deal. Governments are now buying as much bitcoin as they can and I know an individual who…
A senior official in the incoming Trump administration is saying that Trump’s visit to East Palestine, Ohio after the train derailment and toxic chemical spill was the moment that put him on a path to victory in the 2024 election.
