Want to be a more powerful listener? If you’re like me, sometimes the distractions are personal. We’re afraid to hear ourselves. Great listening starts by setting aside the physical and emotional distractions that get in the way of what we most need to hear. But when we can, the impact is palpable. I encourage you to pick one person this week and really listen to what she has to say.

Coast through just one industrial park in New Jersey and you’ll pass Alberts Organics ($25 million)… VWR International ($4.4 billion)… Pinochle Paradise ($239 million). Okay, I made up Pinochle Paradise but the other two are there along with 170 other establishments of myriad sizes and industries. Every time I drive through a commercial district like that New Jersey industrial park on my way to a client site, I’m amazed at the sheer number and variety of busin

These days, it seems that the art of communication is being lost. All too often within society, conversations have become one-sided monologues with witnesses or even worse, people gathered together in one space while all looking at their devices. When people stop talking in the workplace, morale drops followed by productivity. If leaders fail to address these problems, they will see good employees walk out the door.

Millennials are probably the most maligned generation yet to enter the workforce. The demographic cohort born between 1982 and 1994 is often portrayed as disloyal job hoppers — self-involved idealists demanding a steady diet of recognition and raises.

Most of us tend to think a little too highly of ourselves, according to the science. Researchers have consistently found that we humans tend to overestimate our own performance. This creates a challenge for peers who give us critical feedback: even friendly colleagues are likely to perceive us as having more weaknesses than we would attribute to ourselves.

Like the dead hand reaching up from the grave in a horror movie, a long-severed employment relationship can emerge from your past and trip up your career mobility — particularly if the employer has ever been touched by scandal. As we’ve noted , even if you had absolutely nothing to do with the scandal in question, you should know that it will affect your employment prospects and be prepared to address it: You’ll need to be forthright about the facts, do what you can to enhance

Brick-and-mortar stores are scrambling to understand their customers. Facing intense competition from online retailers who can gather extensive data about user behavior, traditional retailers have also started tracking customers’ in-store activities.

Paul Garbett for HBR. When my daughters were little, each time one of them received a birthday or holiday card from their grandparents with a crisp $20 in it, I silently vowed that I would finally get around to opening a savings account for them at our local bank so they could start learning the virtues of saving and compounded interest.
