“If the the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, it’s time to water your own grass.” Stop trying to compare yourself to others if you always make yourself feel inferior. Stop trying to yearn for a better job, if you don’t first try to make your current job better. Stop making the same mistake again and again because you focus on others and not on yourself.

I was so excited. I finally got my first HR position. I was going to make my mark. I was going to show people how HR could be done. There was one employee in my constituency who had a reputation for blowing up on others. The politically correct term was that people felt “poorly treated” by her. She would go from zero to 100 in milliseconds. You wouldn’t see it coming.

Y ou’ve probably heard of Jim Collins and his book Good To Great. In this book, he shares that we must make sure the right people are on the right bus. So we focus on that. We put our effort and energy into putting our people into the right areas. While doing this, we forget to ask ourselves an important question: Am I on the right bus? What Bus Is The Right One?

Slackers want something for nothing. Talent yearns for opportunity. In between, discouraged middlers slave away. Push slackers and they’ll despise you. Push talent and they’ll thank you. Middlers are development opportunities.

The five-hour workday isn’t just this mystical “unicorn” you’ve heard about around the water cooler. It’s real, and it can work for your team. Why is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the magic time? It’s been used for so long that it’s become immortalized in song. While the traditional 40-hour workweek remains the norm, you’ve changed the way you work.

There are many ways to split people into two groups. Young and old. Rich and poor. Us and them. The 98% who can do arithmetic and the 3% who cannot. Those who split people into two groups and those who don’t. Then there’s the people who make good competitive-strategy decisions, and those who don’t. It’s not easy to split people into the good/bad strategy decision-makers.

Why are there so few women in leadership roles? My research collaborators (Laura Guillen of ESMT and Natalia Karelaia of INSEAD), and I believe we have shed some new light on this conundrum. But first, some background. One frequently cited reason has to do with confidence. In a previous study my colleagues and I found that women tend to rate their abilities accurately, while men tend to be overconfident about theirs.

Experts continue to debate whether Chinese businesses are truly disruptive. For some industries in the West, this question appears a bit ridiculous. The American textile and apparel industries, for example, will tell you that the evidence can be found in the blood on the floor — their blood, on what used to be their floor. American and European metals industries and producers of wind turbines and solar panels will echo that same impression.

I sit on a board as a nonexecutive director and often feel uncomfortable about the amount of time available to raise questions and debate issues. In addition, I recently worked with a different board on how to add more value to the business. In this role I found myself counseling one of the directors to ask fewer questions and make fewer comments. How many comments or questions should a board member raise in a board meeting?

Executives are usually taught that data is an objective and critical input for strategic planning and operations. Applying this, however, is much easier said than done — especially among companies operating in emerging markets. Emerging-market data can be challenging to work with due to significant data gaps, biased data, and outdated or incorrect numbers.

Customer relationship management software revolutionized how companies manage their sales pipelines. It also allowed organizations to communicate and coordinate more effectively across large sales account teams. Now a new breed of software applications is reshaping sales force management. Their common characteristic: Using digital data exhaust, which is the data generated from the regular activities of a sales force or their customers, to change the behavior of frontline sales representatives in

Few managers today would trust a single analyst to predict the future. We know that individuals are biased. People make mistakes. They have bad days. But we put a great deal of trust in the “wisdom of the crowd,” the idea that aggregating predictions across a group of qualified people will result in better predictions. As it turns out, though, crowd predictions are also bad – just in different ways.

Three attackers armed with machine guns and strapped with explosives conducted a frontal assault on Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport on June 28. The brutal attack left dozens dead and hundreds injured.

The cycle time from the small seed of an idea to successful scale has shortened dramatically. Barriers to entry have never been lower. Capital is plentiful. This may sound like the start to another technology startup story, but actually we are talking about startups in consumer packaged goods. Steve Demos, the founder of Silk Soymilk, used to joke that Silk is a 25-year overnight success.
