Self-confidence is too often a cover for incompetence

Why We Fatally Over-Estimate Ourselves

Leadership, Management, Personal DevelopmentBy Josef ShapiroMarch 26, 2023Leave a comment

Before I address this important issue, a quick reminder that my next live course, Inquiry For Awakening begins this Thursday, March 30. Are you good at what you do? There are many managers in the world. In my experience, very few know what they’re doing. And for good reason, because leadership is so rarely taught that we’re…

Desire to know, what you don't want to see, and see everything

Where Are You Incurious?

Leadership, Management, Mentoring, Personal DevelopmentBy Josef ShapiroMarch 29, 2022Leave a comment

The Art of Asking Questions: Curiosity, Listening, and Intuition course begins live on Zoom this Thursday, March 31 2022 at 11:15 am PT. Most people think they are curious, but as I say so often, it’s not useful to make conclusions about oneself. Instead, be curious about where you’re incurious. The result of incuriousness is stagnation,…

Exactly How Democracy Is Broken

Leadership, Personal DevelopmentBy Josef ShapiroAugust 13, 2020Leave a comment

Trump seems to be the most controversial president in history and I think it’s perfect. Don’t get me wrong, when he was elected, I had a hard time accepting the reality at first. Many people still suffer over this, though, and perhaps this will help if it doesn’t offend and outrage you first. The American,…

Did Jerry Garcia Die For Your Sins?

LeadershipBy Josef ShapiroJuly 18, 2020Leave a comment

What do Jesus and Jerry Garcia have in common? Yes, they were both iconic leaders, and died relatively young. They were both deified, too, but the most relevant similarity is going to surprise you. I’m going to be tough on Garcia, so before I go on, I must say he was one of the greatest…

The insult you perceive Is actually a clue to find Your insecurity

Have You Ever Been Offended?

Leadership, Personal DevelopmentBy Josef ShapiroJune 30, 2020Leave a comment

I want to share a point of view with you that you’ve likely never heard. My last piece about racism was a little scary to share, but well-received, so I thought I’d continue to be bold. I wrote the following for my upcoming course on Paradigmatic Analysis. If unpacking concepts like this is interesting to you, you might enjoy the course.…

Racism is A Tip of an Iceberg

Leadership, Management, Personal DevelopmentBy Josef ShapiroJune 23, 2020Leave a comment

This article is about management, racism, and change. I once had a client who complained that his people couldn’t be trusted to perform. “What happens when they make mistakes?” I asked. “We retrain them,” he answered. “What does that mean?” I persisted. “Their manager goes over the process with them,” he said. “But don’t they already…

5 Obstacles To Meditation

Leadership, Personal DevelopmentBy Josef ShapiroApril 14, 2020Leave a comment

My clients who’ve been meditating report that they are surprised at how well they’re handling the pandemic. I’m not. 😉  Because I know meditation, when done right, is the most powerful ally available to you. I’ve talked with many people about my upcoming meditation course (begins 4/16) and encountered some misconceptions about meditation that are…

Sometimes the greatest fear is actually to see what was always there

Is This An Apocalypse?

Leadership, ManagementBy Josef ShapiroMarch 30, 2020Leave a comment

We think the word “apocalypse” means the end of the world, but this isn’t its original meaning. It comes from Greek meaning “uncovering.” That’s what I see happening now: a great revealing of truth. I know these are hard times, harder for some than others. It’s with great compassion and a wide heart that I…

COVID-19: Is Fear Necessary To Be Safe?

Leadership, Management, Personal DevelopmentBy Josef ShapiroMarch 11, 2020Leave a comment

First, I want to say that if you or someone you know are directly affected by the COVID-19 virus, my heart goes out to you. It’s causing a lot of pain in the world and part of that we can’t do anything about. There are precautions we can take, and I’m all for those. What’s…

The Epidemic of Niceness

Leadership, ManagementBy Josef ShapiroNovember 25, 2019Leave a comment

Is there such a thing as being too nice? I once coached five members of an executive team in an online retail business. The CEO complained of “communication issues” and some people not pulling their weight. Three of the members were co-founders of the company and long-time friends. To sit in a room with them,…
