Assertiveness and empowerment can cause real problems when overused or applied out of context. They become maladaptive responses — just like anything taken to its extreme.

The new executive was in the first 100 days on the job, and he was failing. Why? He was invisible to his people. . He took over and they barely saw him. He didn’t walk around and get to know his team. . He didn’t know where their offices were. His office door was open, but he was never there when his managers stopped by. He made a cursory showing at a few official events, but he did not speak with anyone who worked for him.

Many of us unconsciously believe that women in leadership roles should be like men – whether we will admit this or not. When looking to hire women for leadership positions, the conclusion for those in the public or private sector (whether driven by our own gut instincts or by social psychological research) is that to be perceived as competent, women in authority have to be assertive, perhaps even ruthless in their decisions, and autocratic in their style.

HBR STAFF. We have a love-hate relationship with email. On one hand, we send over 108 billion email messages every day. On the other hand, most of us hate working our way through our inbox. Email takes up 23 percent of the average employee’s workday , and that average employee sends or receives 112 emails per day. When you look at these statistics, you begin to see email as a new form of knowledge pollution.

In the ’80s, you famously smashed the paper bags of rival Maxwell House in ads to prove your own superior packaging.

Paul Garbett FOR HBR. The strength of cross-cultural teams is their diversity of experience, perspective, and insight. But to capture those riches, colleagues must commit to open communication; they must dare to share. Unfortunately, this is rarely easy.
