Effectiveness comes down to producing desired results. The most successful entrepreneurs have mastered being effective because it makes them work smarter, eliminating unnecessary effort and wasted time. Success cannot happen with any consistency when approached in a lazy, haphazard, hit-or-miss fashion. Effectiveness is rooted in discipline and routine, not talent or genius. Successful entrepreneurs make sure to be detailed, organized and fully prepared before executing on any goal or plan.

Harvard Business Review
As a leader, you want the people in your organization to trust you. And with good reason. In our coaching with leaders, we often see that trust is a leading indicator of whether others evaluate them positively or negatively.

 When it comes to beverages, clean is the new choice for consumers everywhere. Savvy, label-reading consumers take time to choose food products with cleaner labels and ingredients and are quick to shift loyalties if the products do not meet their criteria. Beverage makers have rightly read this changing consumer mindset and risen to the challenge of crafting cleaner and more organic formulations in future. For example, almost 50 percent of consumers prefer no artificial ingredients in their choice of beverage, and 71 percent of consumers are willing to pay more for beverages made with ingredients they know and trust.

Avocado imports have soared around the world, mostly to the European Union and the United States, but China and Japan are now importing thousands of tons of the multifaceted green fruit too. Even as US imports of avocados slowed slightly, the taste for avocado has globalized.

The 44th annual Winter Fancy Food Show, held in San Francisco, has identified key food trends for 2019. According to expert panels at the show, food is now less about taste and more about where it came from and how it was produced.
"Sustainability and social good, through upcycling, ethical sourcing, diverse crops, and cause-related products, are growing ever more in popularity,” said Denise Purcell, head of content for the Specialty Food Association, the show’s sponsor. “We saw this emerging at the Summer Fancy Food Show this past June, and it's really come to life here at the Winter Fancy Food Show."

Imagine your ideal customer: She pays her bill on time each month, communicates concisely but courteously, and never requests customer support.
On the surface, she might sound like a success story. But consider another explanation: She's a busy professional, led by a supervisor who wants the latest technology but doesn't use it herself.
