If you want something, ask for it. Pretty simple, eh? Actually, it’s not. Many people run into external (and more frequently) internal obstacles. Even though more women are affected than men, it’s not just a woman’s thing. Many men also run into the same obstacles when direct requests are required. Why does it happen?

The following is a guest piece by Bill Capodagli. What is corporate culture? One of my clients once defined it as what employees do when everything else is stripped away or what they do when no one is looking. Twenty years ago, corporate or business culture sort of just happened…good, bad or indifferent.

We could all become better listeners. Most importantly, leaders must learn to really listen. Really listening means: Waiting for other(s) to finish speaking before speaking. Keeping the focus of the conversation away from yourself. Asking open ended and non-judging questions that are relevant to the conversation. Giving advice sparingly, if at all. Noticing emotional cues in body language and voice tone.

It’s estimated that during the next few years, more than 1 million members of the U.S. military will transition into civilian careers. For many, that transition is difficult. Not because the veterans lack the skills and drive to be successful contributors in their new roles, but because they – and their new employers – have a difficult time translating their military accomplishments into non-military positions.

When companies downsize, diversity takes a hit — even if it previously was treated as a priority. Here’s how that plays out. In an effort to be transparent and fair to employees, organizations use formal rules to decide who stays and who goes during layoffs. But my analysis shows that because companies rely heavily on position and tenure to make those calls, they wipe out most or all of the gains they’ve made in diversity.

As China moves away from a manufacturing-driven economy to a more consumption and service-driven model, Chinese companies will have to find new ways of managing and motivating their employees.

The vast majority of people who sign up for a MOOC—a massive open online course—never complete it. More than 50% consume less than half of the course’s content. This is wrongly viewed as evidence that MOOCs don’t work, that people are dropping off and not getting value. The assumption behind that conclusion is that you have to complete a whole, semester-long course to get value from online education.
