Best LinkedIn Pulse Articles

LinkedIn Pulse articles are commonly known for the expertise and experience of their authors. These
people can teach you a lot simply from their writing. But there are so many articles. Where do you start? Well, I have looked at some articles for you and created my own list. It is hand-selected to increase your mojo. It will inspire you. You might use LinkedIn itself as a source. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used these sources:
In compiling my list, I emphasized increasing your mojo. I excluded anything that was all about
resumes or jobs or had a political agenda. These aren’t the most popular articles, or the best articles, or the articles by the most gifted writers. They are chosen to help you. Here 's my list for you:
  1. How Successful People Stay Calm by Dr. Travis Bradberry. Dr. Bradberry has many things of value to say. He has been selected numerous times by LinkedIn. He focuses on staying calm, but his research shows that this is important for having success.
  2. Caffeine: The Silent Killer of Success by Dr. Travis Bradberry. Although this is the same author he boils his points down to a discussion of caffeine. If you can only do one thing to improve your mojo, this is it.
  3. 11 Simple Concepts to Become a Better Leader by Dave Kerpen. This is about leadership in particular, but it contains good advice for increasing your mojo.
  4. This Soccer Coach Taught Me to Never Settle for Economy Class — Always Aim for World Class byJohn Taft. Excellence matters. Read this and find out about inspiration.
  5. The One Thing Successful People Never Do by Bernard Marr. Gives many examples of failure that later led to success. The list of people alone is inspiring.
  6. The No. 1 Career Mistake Capable People Make by Greg McKeown. Identify your highest point of contribution. No matter whether it is on your resume or when you are touting your contributions, this advice is spot on. Talk about your highest point of contribution rather than cataloging everything you have done.
  7. Grace in a Cup of Tea: A Lesson in Leadership by Jacqueline Novogratz Anyone can teach you a lesson if you listen and watch with open ears and eyes. People with great mojo have a certain grace.
  8. The 7 Essential Practices of Leadership That Works by Doug Conant. His advice is a bit complicated, but it is a valuable prescription for success.
  9. Building Leadership: Unleash the Disrupters by Ravi Venkatesan. This is also about leadership in particular. Although leadership isn’t necessary to have mojo, it helps because leaders usually have motivation and get experience, two key components of mojo.
  10. Leadership Lessons from Saturdays as a Soccer Referee by Diego Rodriguez. Rodriguez had some interesting experiences that should help you increase your mojo if you take them to heart. He applied them to his work life. You can too.
Let this list be your introduction to LinkedIn Pulse articles, your mojo builder, or anything else.

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjam...

10 Highest Mojo Colleges

10 Highest Mojo Colleges Many sources make lists. Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used endowment , acceptance rate , the US News rank , and my own judgement as my sources in making my list. sually, lists rank colleges for suitability for an individual or for best overall rank. However, mine ranks the colleges with the highest mojo, not the best academics, sports, campuses, etc. I included US News’ overall rank because a high placement on such a list is one indication (not the only one) of mojo. Another one that I use is endowment. If alumni have money ad want to give it to their alma mater, that indicates that the alma mater has mojo. Another indicator that I use is acceptance rate. If a lot more people apply to a college than are accepted, that is a further indication of mojo. Also note that the military academies are in a different group for purposes of evaluation, but I include a co...

How Mojo Works

Figure 1. The components of mojo. What makes up mojo? Merriam Webster says: Mojo is :” a magic spell, hex, or charm, broadly : magical power // works his mojo on the tennis court //The team has lost its mojo.“ I’m not sure about the magic part of it, but mojo is something that a person or group has to varying degrees. You know it when you see it, even if you can’t define it. Another example of such a thing was cited by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart who famously said in his 1964 Order , he could not use words to describe pornography but " I know it when I see it ." When something is not well understood, it is indistinguishable from magic . Maybe this is why people are often said to have their “mojo workin’” even if magic is irrelevant. Parts of Mojo motivation expertise experience support luck faith willingness to act. This blog will focus on motivation because it is such a big part of mojo and is often a poorly under...
