How to Save Money for Your Business

Strategy Driven

We don’t tend to be very thoughtful when it comes to business spending. Truth be told, most companies wait until they’ve hit a cash crunch before they start looking at their spending levels and end up having to cut key personnel because of that. Avoiding losing valuable members of staff because the business overspent when the good times were rolling along and expected to never end should be a priority for any CEO who understands that people are the lifeblood of their business.

Harvard Business Review

Juj Winn/Getty Images. According to the World Health Organization , a record number of young people worldwide are suffering from serious depression or anxiety disorders. In some sections of society, there is a tendency to dismiss this trend as the product of an over-indulged, over-entitled, and over-sensitive “snowflake generation.” To the contrary, there is growing evidence that the increase in psychological ill-health of young people may stem from the excessive standards that they

How AI Could Help the Public Sector

Harvard Business Review

omair khan/unsplash. Last Thanksgiving, I watched my father-in-law evaluate over one hundred exams for the high school class he teaches on the U.S. government. They were mostly short answer questions: matching different provisions of the U.S. Constitution, and explaining the contents of the Bill of Rights. The grading was tedious and time consuming, and took him hour after hour during what should have been a holiday.

The Art of Strategy Is About Knowing When to Say No

Harvard Business Review

Hayon Thapaliya. When HubSpot was in its earliest stages, I used to say yes to almost anything: new features, new initiatives, new ideas. It empowered my team to move fast and get things done.

It’s tempting, of course, to default to the same vacation each year: your family’s cabin, a familiar beach town, your favorite city, that resort the kids loved.

Why the Pessimists Are Wrong About the New U.S. Tax Law

Harvard Business Review

Ilka & Franz/Getty Images. The new U.S. tax law is surprisingly unpopular. According to a New York Times survey , only one-third of Americans think their taxes will go down in 2018 as a result of the new tax law. These pessimists are wrong. Almost every household will pay less in tax. And over time the corporate tax reforms will lead to more capital accumulation, higher productivity, and higher real wages, raising pre-tax incomes as well as lowering the share of incomes taken in taxes.
