Sometimes it’s hard to stay focused when you’re at work, especially if you’re inside a stifling office space on a warm day. Of course, you’d always rather be somewhere else than at work, but what you can do is make your working environment more appealing, more fun, and a productive place to be. If you’re an office manager and you’re considering making changes to the place in order to boost productivity, then your first port of call should be to ask your staff members.

Virtual reality has often seemed like a technology in search of a problem, but new research from the University of Nottingham proposes a valuable use case could be emerging in health and safety training. The researchers developed an immersive VR simulation to allow users to practice escaping from a building in the event of a fire.

Failure has seldom been sexier in terms of the acceptance of it in working life. Advocates argue that not only is failure an expression of truly pushing our boundaries, but also provides us with a great opportunity to learn and develop, both as individuals and as teams.

Several years ago I interviewed with a large leadership development consulting firm. Things were going as expected until the office president threw me a curve ball by asking for my point-of-view on leadership. I was stumped. I had many ideas on what good leadership looked like but I didn’t have my own original model. Fortunately, I shared someone else’s POV I appreciated and was able to satisfy the president with my answer.
