Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, as the Bard said. There are similarities to problems and opportunities for the executive role in all times. A few fundamental things in our experience can make the transition easier. 1. Identify the situation you are in: In Business, because of cycles or disruption one sees a lot of change. There are four fundamental types of business situations—Startup, Turnaround, Realignment, and Sustaining Success. The most common mistake is focusing too much on the technical side or domain know-how. Solutions in most situations lie beyond the technical and at a connect level, also known as <keyword id="464954" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="emotional-intelligence">emotional intelligence</keyword>. The First 90 Days by Michael Watkins offers more details. 2. Know yourself: It implies understanding one’s strengths and weaknesses based on the business situation one is in. For example, one may be good at marketing and sales, however, one could face problems if the contracts are not properly vetted. The core idea is to build a team around the opportunity and areas in which one has weaknesses. 3. Create a culture: The number one job of the leader is to create a culture based on sustainability. Once that spreads to different people the culture becomes institutionalised. It helps to put a foundation early or, if there are gaps, make changes which help to grab the opportunity. 4. Focus on early warning signs: Every situation shows hints of things evolving in a certain direction. It could be a key client issue/ a product issue or a people problem. Planning helps to minimise the impact if one notices and acts on the signs early. 5. Build for the future: The job of an entrepreneur or a <keyword id="178512" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="business-executive">business executive</keyword> is to ensure that the company stays relevant in the marketplace. When the executive/board/entrepreneur has not done a good enough job, the company alters usually because the leader is weak in certain areas or because strength has become a liability to the company. Building up implies preparing people for new roles. For example: Somebody from a sales background may not be a great manager. One would need to prepare a transition path to help people succeed. 6. Reinvent yourself: It is important to reinvent yourself. It starts with identifying the relevant and weeding out/ automating the mundane. It is like an eagle going to a mountaintop. For some it could be taking a course or working on new ideas as a hobby or a project which can be converted to business. 7. Integrity is non-negotiable: The approach to work and working styles may wary, however, integrity is non-negotiable. It is about being aligned to the purpose of the organisation one is a part of. Design your destiny or somebody else will!

Mark Kelly, who in 2020 defeated then-Republican Sen. Martha McSally in a special election to fill the remaining term of the late GOP Sen. John McCain.Kelly, a former Navy pilot and NASA astronaut, is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination as he seeks a full six-year term this fall.The Republican candidates are Arizona state Attorney General Mark Brnovich, businessman Jim Lamon, venture capitalist Blake Masters, retired Air Force Major General Michael "Mick" McGuire, and utility regulator Justin Olson.Brnovich had long been seen as a frontrunner in the race, especially after Washington Republicans were unable to convince two-term Gov. Doug Ducey to enter the race. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky <a href="https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-arizona-doug-ducey-mitch-mcconnell-congress-2806c5b5d6dfcf9f658de0adf0657c26">sought</a> to recruit Ducey, but former President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-will-never-endorse-doug-ducey-republican-senate-run-arizona-2022-1">railed against</a> a potential Ducey candidacy, incensed that the governor didn't help him overturn now-President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Arizona.Trump, for his part, declined to back Brnovich's campaign, calling him a "disappointment."Instead, the former president <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-endorses-peter-thiel-backed-blake-masters-arizona-senate-2022-6">endorsed</a> Masters, a protégé of PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. Over the course of the campaign, Thiel has so far put at least $13.5 million into a super PAC supporting Masters' campaign, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel-blake-masters-jim-lamon-arizona-senate-campaign-tech-2022-7">according to Insider's Bryan Metzger</a>.The latest Emerson College Polling <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/arizona-2022-dead-heat-in-republican-gubernatorial-nomination-masters-with-18-point-lead-in-for-us-senate-nomination/">survey</a> showed Masters ahead with 40% support among GOP voters, followed by Lamon at 22%, Brnovich with 14% support, and McGuire at 12%; nine percent of respondents were undecided.Whoever emerges as the Republican nominee will have to run in a state that has shifted from red to purple in recent years. In 2018, Democrat Kyrsten Sinema won Arizona's other Senate seat at the same time that Ducey was reelected as governor, and in 2020, Biden was the first Democratic presidential nominee to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/young-latino-educated-voters-helped-biden-flip-arizona-trump-election-2020-11">win</a> the state since 1996.<iframe id="embed-2184003d-5579-4a89-bb35-6eacb174d671" src="https://embeds.ddhq.io/app/v2/client/1.0/index.html?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" frameborder="0" width="100%"></iframe> <iframe id="embed-3f227a02-3486-460b-86e8-623af20bb45c" src="https://embeds.ddhq.io/app/v2/client/1.0/index.html?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" frameborder="0" width="100%"></iframe><h3>US House races</h3>1st DistrictRepublican Rep.
