The CDC states that 27 percent of US adults have some type of disability , however, the jobs supporting disability are often few and far between.

There are times where someone needs to offer constructive criticism and there are better ways to deliver that criticism. In fact, the best leaders and the best organizations are made better by learning to receive, process and respond to criticism.

Projects are unique, temporary, and dynamic. At the beginning of a project, you can be proactive as you plan, schedule, source, and staff.

Project success ultimately depends on maintaining project team alignment from inception to completion. That can only happen when a project manager consistently realigns the team throughout the project.

If your new job isn’t turning out like you’d hoped and you’re considering “boomeranging” back to your former employer, take the time to assess how both employers line up with your needs and values.
