I recently spent a couple of days in New York. It was hot and humid, so I didn’t think twice being offered a ride in an open bicycle cart from Central Park to my hotel, which was approximately a 15 minute ride. I asked the driver to take the scenic road and enjoyed a last glance of the beautiful park, which added another 35 minutes to my New York experience. “It’s 35 dollars sir’ or at least that is what I have heard.

Giving solutions, without exploring issues, lets people know you aren’t listening. Solutions found in isolation are irritations to others. 3 ways to let others know you aren’t listening: #1. Focus on positions. Defensive conversations are either/or exchanges with winners and losers. Defensive leaders look to win arguments by convincing others they’re wrong. #2.

A ny manager would appreciate having a team that could work effectively and independently, without overrelying on him or her to answer questions or smooth over minute workflow issues. However, in many companies, this is simply not the case. Why? Sometimes, it has to do with the team. Maybe your team is inexperienced at certain tasks and needs some extra oversight.

Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” John 5:8. In order to appreciate the value of Jesus’ command, you need to consider the culture of the day. Today, although some may feel we don’t do enough, there are limited opportunities for the physically handicapped to work and lead productive lives. In Christ’s time on earth, the handicapped were outcast.

Laura Schneider for HBR. I’ve spent much of my career teaching people how to have “crucial conversations.” In the work place, most crucial conversations are about feedback – the process of helping others improve by pointing out deficiencies in their behavior or work. I’ve realized lately that a lot of my work could have been avoided if leaders had understood one simple thing: The primary reason people struggle with giving and receiving feedback is not a lack of prof

Juan Díaz-Faes for HBR. We know that customer engagement matters. Yet much of our thinking about engagement remains simplistic. Most current definitions of engagement are bimodal – someone is either engaged or they’re not. But this is a limited view that hampers our ability to manage engagement in meaningful ways. A more sophisticated understanding of engagement allows community managers to effectively influence and change it, and even to calculate an ROI for engagement.

In early July 2016, police officers killed black men in two separate, high-profile incidents. First, Alton Sterling was shot at point blank range in front of a convenience store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. And in Minnesota, during a minor traffic stop, a police officer shot Philando Castile as he reached for his license. Within two weeks, two black gunmen had ambushed and shot dead eight police officers in Baton Rouge and Dallas, Texas.

In the business world, difficult conflicts often end up in the hands of mediators — third parties who are hired to help disputants resolve conflicts. When we imagine the typical mediator, we tend to think of a person who is nice and shows empathy to those in conflict. Indeed, manuals and books on mediation commonly indicate that a mediator should listen attentively to all participants and express empathy with their viewpoints, taking care not to appear to favor some people’s ideas ov
