I used to run a moving company and many of my crewmembers came from a low-income background. Back in 2003 I read Ruby Payne’s book, A Framework for Understanding Poverty. This book was immensely helpful in shedding light on some of the foundational mindset differences between economic classes. Though it’s been 14 years, here are three insights I still remember and share with those managers and leaders who have employees who either are currently low-income or who come from a low-income background

What big dreams do you have? Or, should I ask, what big dreams did you have when you were young? Me? I longed to become a video game designer. I wanted to design the next Final Fantasy game. But I didn’t. Instead, I took a few college courses and began working. And then continued working and pursuing other passions. From the outside, one could think it was the big things which derailed my passion of designing video games.

The last person who had a stellar career without help from anyone whatsoever was … well … no one. So it makes no sense to lead as if the people around you never need help getting where they, and you, want them to go. In fact, just the opposite is true. If you want to create leaders who are Greater Than Yourself – and that should be your goal, by the way – then you need to express a deep belief in people, because none of us get very far without someone who believes in us more than we believe in o

Many companies continue to struggle with advancing and retaining women. As we’ve studied our own progress at BCG, we have found that gender disparities in our senior cohorts are not completely explained by traditional workplace concerns, such as work-life balance, maternity leave , unequal pay , and differential ambitions. We have identified a very different explanation, which is just as critical: the quality of the day-to-day apprenticeship experience.

Consulting is pervasive in many industries. Yet the use of consultants remains controversial. Why would firms give away key activities to hired guns? Why would these “mercenaries” perform these activities better than in-house employees? Many employees dismiss consultants as people who “borrow your watch to tell you the time” — and then charge you for the privilege.

We’ve all been in situations where the boss has a favorite. It’s frustrating to feel underresourced and underrecognized while someone else is getting all the attention. Ironically, though, it can be just as challenging to realize that you’re the boss’s new “pet.” While it’s great to get extra attention and have your work recognized, there’s often a price to pay for being the favorite.

After the bruising and contentious 2016 U.S. presidential election, it’s not surprising that Americans’ evaluations of members of the opposite political party have reached an all-time low. According to data from the Pew Research Center, 45% of Republicans and 41% of Democrats think the other party is so dangerous that it is a threat to the health of the nation.
