Many industries that had been resisting allowing team members to work at home have, in a matter of a few days, had to pivot and adapt to this new norm.

Relying on sheer determination eventually becomes exhausting—it’s not sustainable. And even setting goals can backfire, if you’re not setting them for the right reasons. Traditional “motivators” such as fear, guilt, or the promise of a reward provide low-quality, short-term energy. MORE

When you hire someone like you , you’re duplicating a skill set, a background or a perspective—or all three. MORE
