With movies and cable television in decline, Disney should take a streaming-first approach for its films and television programming, making itself a direct competitor to Netflix, writes Derek Thompson. "With its pending purchase of 20th Century Fox, the company seems to be betting equally on its future and its past -- adding a formidable library of content from Fox for Disneyflix, but also buying regional sports networks for the cable bundle," Thompson writes.

Moving through the crisis. It's inevitable that a personal crisis will interfere with work at some point. Illnesses, car accidents, thefts and other challenging issues are bound to crop up and always at the worst time. Some [keys to dealing with a crisis]( involve keeping things in perspective, getting your priorities straight and getting assistance. Don't be afraid to ask colleagues for help. We've all been there, and, by and large, people are understanding and supportive. There's no need for you to shoulder the entire burden yourself. And when you see a colleague in crisis, don't wait for them to ask for help. They may be too overwhelmed or feel like they're imposing on others. Offer your help proactively, instead. -- Mike Figliuolo is managing director of [ThoughtLeaders](. Before launching his own company, he worked at McKinsey & Co., Capital One and Scotts Miracle-Gro. He is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He's the author of three leadership books: "[One Piece of Paper](," "[Lead Inside the Box](" and "[The Elegant Pitch](." []

[How this CEO transformed a government agency](
Graham Farrant, CEO of the HM Land Registry in England and Wales, remade the government office's staid culture with a new leadership team and communication initiatives. Other government leaders should strive to understand the working environment and "keep digging until you find something you like, some core strengths, a solid foundation, and then build on that," he says.
