Many of the organizations that I have worked in this year are involved in dramatic change. They are doing more to meet the increasing demands of customers in order to compete with companies within their industry. They are implementing new productivity standards, causing them to measure more effectively the behaviors of their employees and the return on investment for the implementation of newly defined competencies.

By Linda Fisher Thornton What is research? The answer depends on your perspective. Some people believe the definition is very narrow, and only if you "do it right" in the scientific sense does it meet the requirements of proper research.

S ocial media is a great tool, one that I love dearly. Who doesn’t, right? It’s great to be able to catch up with old high school friends on Facebook. It’s great to see the constant flow of information on Twitter. It’s even great to see all of the amazing pictures people share on Pinterest. Image by Jason Howie. While there’s a good side to social media , there’s also a dark side many people get caught up in.

Affirm an insecure person and they explain why your affirmation is false. You talk about their talent. They explain their faults. You celebrate a win. It rolls off their back. Insecurity deflects affirmation.

While researching my new book What? I discovered that when listening to others, we naturally assume we understand what's meant and don't question our assumption. Yet the filters our brain uses to hear what others mean to convey preclude accuracy, leading to faulty assumptions. Essentially, here's what happens that makes accuracy so difficult (for more detail and research references read my free digital book What?

Great leaders know the more capacity the organization has the more potential it has. And, when the organization begins to exceed its capacity for too long things eventually stall. To spur growth — increase capacity. Therefore, one of the best ways a leader can impact an organization is to create capacity so the organization and its people can grow.

Artists and scientists throughout history have remarked on the bliss that accompanies a sudden creative insight. Einstein described his realization of the general theory of relativity as the happiest moment of his life. More poetically, Virginia Woolf once observed, “Odd how the creative power brings the whole universe at once to order.” But what about before such moments of creative insight?

Honestly, I wish I learned this sooner. Having a tight network of trusted peers is as vital (and often trumps) your relationship with your boss and your direct reports. Trust matters even more with your peers because it’s TECHNICALLY optional and therefore more meaningful and sticky. There’s no “official” accountability levers.

How do you handle giving unfavorable feedback to someone who will surely take it badly – and I mean really badly? Think: shouting, tears, defensiveness, accusations, personal attacks, revising history, twisting words — pick your nightmare. Consider the case of Melissa, who was the team leader on a recently concluded project that had not been a stellar experience for anyone involved.

As managers in a large, complex organization at GE, we face a daily challenge: ensure that our employees collaborate, make quick and effective business decisions, and provide our customers with superior products and services.

It’s one thing to create a great looking product that’s easy to use. It’s another to create a great experience that continues to improve, delight, and expand in scope over time. The first is user experience. The second is customer experience. The two are often used interchangeably. But generally, user experience focuses on designing a particular device or screen and the interactions that occur on it, while customer experience stitches those together with many other touchpoints

Coverage of Google’s restructuring has focused on the idea of Alphabet as a new kind of internet-era conglomerate. Optimists compare the new entity to Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway; skeptics point out that the conglomerate model seldom works. But there’s a better comparison than Buffet: it’s John Malone, the “mastermind” who built the cable TV powerhouse Liberty Media.

With 200 million downloads and counting, ad blockers are quickly growing in popularity. In my experience from working at an advertising technology company, the reasons are clear: they are easy to install and immediately effective, they make the web look cleaner and load faster, and they prevent advertisers from tracking user activity online. They are so effective that even advertising giants such as Google and Facebook are unable to get past them.
