Why it matters: No matter how crazy things get, make sure you find a way to continue the rituals that have made you who you are. Whether it's exercising, reading a book, rocking out to your favorite music or just taking a few minutes each day to "find your Zen," do whatever it takes to stay you. You'll always be a better you if you do.

WYWW reader Julie Knight's son, Doug, played college baseball, but her shining moment comes from the first time Doug took the mound in a player-pitch game. Based on her story, it sounds like Doug had command and confidence from an early age. I might be biased, but I think he has a cool name, too.

Winston Churchill led Britain through World War II by making tough decisions, projecting a sense of confidence to the country and being personally affectionate even as he was often severe about the work, writes Steve McKee.

Organizations that need to do layoffs should do it all at once, as "multiple rounds of layoffs demoralizes your team and erodes any trust and confidence they have in you," writes David Ulevitch. "Demonstrate empathy, be a listener, but stand behind the company's decisions," he writes.
