“Retired in position” refers to an unengaged employee, a term which I first heard used by Ken Blanchard. These individuals are just going through the motions, showing up to do the minimum, and would rather be somewhere else. Does this sound familiar? Well, it should. Per Gallup research, an astounding 70 percent of U.S. employees are not showing up to work fully committed to delivering their best performance.

T HE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM’S Future of Jobs Report lists complex problem-solving as the number one skill for jobs in 2020. Organizations are looking for people that can define problems and form solid creative responses. Like leaders themselves, good problem solvers are made, not born. Yet these skills are rarely taught. That’s where Bulletproof Problem Solving comes in.

Too often, we are placed in a situation that requires us to modify our reaction to a person. For example: An associate on our staff who challenges our authority. A client who is very late on their payment. A peer who throws you under the bus in front of your boss. We try to be professional, calm, cool, and collected — but sometimes we need to step out of our management comfort zone to react appropriately.

Do you find it hard to focus on your work? If so, you’re far from alone. It’s important to stay focused and distraction-free, but that’s especially difficult with multiple projects in play and a steady stream of emails, phone calls and petty tasks constantly beckoning. Focusing at work is like going to the gym every day—it’s largely a matter of building good habits.

When creating an innovation team, we often put a lot of thought and effort into bringing the right functional expertise together. Making sure we have diverse marketing, design, engineering, product supply, finance, research and innovation working together early in the process is certainly smart. But for a team to deliver big, disruptive ideas that will have.

The last few years has seen a great deal of concern around the prevalence of misinformation in public debate, with a range of actors deploying emotive storytelling to distort the discourse. A recent study from Northwestern University highlights just how powerful this approach can be, with the researchers reminding us just how important stories can be in bridging emotional connections and persuade people to follow a particular course of action. “Stories persuade, at least in part, by disrup

What’s the one thing all successful leaders have in common? For thirty years, I have been asked this question and for thirty years I didn’t have a satisfactory answer. I could have made something up, but it wouldn’t have been honest nor valid. Leadership, after all, is a special combination of unique qualities, the balance of which is a varied as the leader themselves.

There has long been an accusation that an agglomeration effect exists in countries around the world, with talent and resources hoovered up by major cities, leaving smaller towns bereft of the kind of things they need to thrive.

They analyzed the job market, and particular the 420,000 or so UK-based professionals with skills in emerging fields such as data, AI and blockchain, to explore where the people with tho

All businesses have their ups and downs but if you manage things well, you can get through the difficult periods.

You only have to say the word expansion, and people working within a business start to sweat. It’s not that they inherently dislike the idea. It’s just that traditionally, alongside growth, you can expect additional work, risks, as well as an increase in stress and hassle. Of course, when expanding your business, there will always be additional tasks, and hazards to navigate, the same is true for any business.

I remember an especially hard year as a leader. It was so bad several members of our staff had told me where I was letting them down. So much for having an “open door policy” The next year I closed the door. Not really, but this was a year where staff members said to me, “I have a problem with you. ” They may not have used those exact words, but the point was clear – I can be an idiot at times.

Guest post by Steve Coughran : In my two decades of business experience, I have encountered many different flavors of leadership. Some leaders are strong-willed and autocratic, some are open-minded and democratic, some employ laissez-faire, employee-centric leadership styles, and most fall somewhere in the middle. While leadership style varies, in my experience, leaders across the board provide employees with a sincere depiction of the Why, an explicit description of the What, and freedom on the

Logically it makes sense to believe such a chasm emerges as a result of the differing political ideologies of the two groups, but a new study from Cornell University proposes that luck may play a bigger role than previously thought. “Why have the major political parties shifted positions on issues lik
