READ THIS ≥ TWEET THIS Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success If there is one thing that Phil Jackson knows how to do, it's win. Jackson's storied career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers made him the most winningest coach in the history of professional sports. According to Jackson, that success came from maintaining a deep set of values that has served as the guide for his career. The "Zen master's" approach to leadership stems from a combination of a belief in personal freedom, a commitment to constant consistency, and selfless teamwork that established a new standard in basketball and other sports. Those values are transferrable to any leader looking to motivate their team from a positive point of view versus one based on fear. amazon.com/Eleven-Rings-The-SoulSuccess @AjaWMoore is a hilariously insightful tweeter who also happens to serve as the editor-inchief for Debtwire.

The trouble is, Friedman argues, that employers are looking for the perfect match. So what's a healthy compromise for the employer with unrealistic expectations and the employee who may not be overqualified like many employers are desiring? Friedman offers some solutions in this New York Times op-ed that can help both leaders and job seekers in today's market. nytimes.com/2013/05/29/opinion/ friedman-how-to-get-a-job.html "Is Housing in a Bubble?" CNBC gathered a table of panelists to take a look at the recent headlines of the market turning bullish, causing investors to worry and increasing the cadence and the volume of the conversation surrounding a possible housing bubble. The panel takes a look at utilities stocks that are behaving in a volatile manner and then pitches the conversation to Diana Olick, who breaks down one of the real culprits: the rise and fall of the refi. As rates continue to rise, some analysts say they will stabilize. According to Olick, housing is merely in a recovery and is still down 30 percent from where it was during the peak of the housing boom. Housing stocks, however, are running up but not at the pace of housing starts, which is giving some analysts reason to say the housing market is in a bubble. video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video The M Report | 7
