Our MBA Orientation committee debated whether was this too much pressure. The second week on campus, teams of first year MBA students would have 48 hours to research and make recommendations on a real business challenge for a large, high-profile company and package and communicate their recommendation to a high-profile audience. Clearly, it’s more than a “game” when potential employers and university leadership are involved.

. Visualize someone at work who gets under your skin. Do you remember all of the (often small) things they’ve done that bother you? Your tendency may be to carry someone’s habits (the ones that you don’t like) and forget that they are capable of something more. You may have to work closely with them; they may be a peer, direct report or even your boss.

Our lives don’t occur in a vacuum. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment—the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. You might think that triggers would cause you to act in new and novel ways, expanding your horizons, making you more successful with each passing moment.

Could we have a discussion about people and their labor on Labor Day? I am biased. I think that too many companies are led by people who view the people who work in those companies as truly expendable. And, yes, I know the arguments.

I am just back from a fishing holiday in Langara Island, Haida Gwaii - northern BC - so close you see Alaska. Lots of wildlife - bald eagles, seals, sea lions, killer whales, humpback whales, a bear, deer, puffins and all kinds of fish. Great weather (although it is north so still need a winter jacket). Sea Lions were a problem this year. They have learned to follow the fishing boats and then catch the fish that has been hooked.

The title of the day has always confused me. It’s called Labor Day and yet it’s supposed to be a break from our labor. And, of course, some will work today. When I was in retail this was a busy day. Thank you to our emergency personnel and hospital workers and those that keep our commerce and lifestyles going today. But, something tells me you need the day off — or a day off — as much as I do.

Play has long infused the language of business: we talk of players, moves, end games, play books and so on. And now we hear often about the “gamification” of work—using elements of competition, feedback and point scoring to better engage employees and even track performance. Even so, actual games are still taboo in most organizations—the stereotype of the work-avoiding employee cracking new high scores in Minesweeper has given gaming a bad name.

Business problems today are too big for any one person to solve. Agile teams are much more effective at solving problems than are lone geniuses. So why do we still reward the smartest people in the room more so than those who excel at working with others? You know who I’m talking about: the people who brazenly take over meetings by showing off how much they know or how witty they can be at the expense of any other voice in the room—and who often end up getting all of the boss’s

Marketers often find themselves at the forefront of a company’s global expansion. The marketing team is usually responsible for carrying out the market research that will determine where a company should expand, and it’s usually charged with creating a plan for attracting customers. As a former business consultant to marketing executives at companies trying to expand globally, I’ve noticed some common marketing roadblocks that can stand in the way of international success: 1.

One of the first acts of George Washington’s presidency was to lower tariffs on the cod fishing industry, the equivalent of cutting taxes. The sector was reeling from the Revolutionary War, and the government wanted to help it gets back on its feet. There was one requirement: the tax credit “would be paid only if the shipowner had a written profit-sharing contract with all the sailors.” The Washington administration wanted to be sure its support for the industry actually benefi
