How Corporate REALLY Works (and why you’re not moving up as fast as you should be).

Rich Gee Group

You work hard. You come in early, stay late. You are good friends with everyone. If asked, you jump. But for some reason, you’re not moving up. You don’t get that promotion. You get paltry bonuses. And worst of all, people whom you’d never expect to move up, do. What’s going on? You’re not playing the game by the same rules that THEY do. High Exposure people focus on projects, activities, and areas that have a high potential for visibility and exposure to the people that matter.

The Disabled Are Generally Locked Out Of Working From Home

How Stress Ages CEOs

The Horizons Tracker

Stress is well known for the harmful effect it has on our health, and CEOs are equally well known to suffer from stress more than most. It perhaps stands to reason, therefore, that the health of CEOs may suffer more than the average worker.

How An Expectation Drives Performance

Frank Sonnenberg Online

One of the things that I learned from my driver’s education instructor was never to look at a passerby on the sidewalk when you’re driving. Why? When you look at anything, other than the car in front of you, you’re inclined to steer toward it. This phenomenon is a well-known principle in dirt bike riding known as target fixation. Experienced bikers will caution you against looking at a potential hazard, such as a large rock, when riding, because you’ll unconsciously steer toward it.
