Want to Be Happier? Cherish Time Over Money
Want to Be Happier? Value Time Over Money 18 Nov 2020 --- Here’s how to know if you’re making enough time for happiness, and what to do if you’re not. A preponderance of evidence shows that the feeling of having enough time — “time affluence” — is now at a record low in the United States. This situation is so severe it could even be described as a “famine” — a collective cultural failure to effectively manage our most precious resource, time. Time poverty exists across all economic strata, and its effects are profound. Research shows that those who feel time-poor experience lower levels of happiness and higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. They experience less joy. They laugh less. They exercise less and are less healthy. Their productivity at work is diminished. They are more likely to get divorced. Harvard Business School’s Ashley Whillans offers advice on how to reclaim your time--and be happier.

How Salary Transparency Can Assist You (and Your Workplace)
How Salary Transparency Can Help You (and Your Workplace) 26 Oct 2023 --- How much money do you make? Did that question make you nervous? Uncomfortable? Or, maybe, excited? Historically speaking, talking about your salary (especially at work) was off limits. But things are changing — “salary transparency” is becoming the new norm, and for good reason. When people are aware of how much those around them make, everyone gets paid more fairly, which makes workplaces more equitable. But what does salary transparency actually look like in the workplace? How do you broach the subject with your coworkers, boss, friends, and even strangers? Ascend editor Kelsey Alpaio talks with David Burkus, an organizational psychologist, to learn more about the pros and cons of salary transparency, how it can play out at the company level, and how to make it work for you. She also speaks with Hannah Williams, a content creator who makes a living off of asking strangers how much money they make, and Carolyn Kopprasch, the Chief of Staff at Buffer, a company who is practicing “radical transparency” by listing all of their employees’ salaries online.

How to Receive Feedback Like an Olympic Athlete 28 Aug 2024 --- Listening to critical feedback is hard, especially because a lot of us still equate our self-worth to our performance at work. That's why it can feel like a direct threat to our identities — as opposed to useful information about how we can get better. But ... there's a better way to process this kind of feedback. Here are some tips from performance psychologist Michael Gervais. Read the full article: https://s.hbr.org/4cLgLaq Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Mastering the Skill of Persuasion | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast
Mastering the Art of Persuasion | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 21 Dec 2022 --- Jonah Berger, professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, says that most of us aren’t approaching persuasion the right way. Pushing people to behave how you’d like them to or believe the same things you do just doesn’t work, no matter how much data you give or how many emotional appeals you make. Studying both psychology and business, he’s found better tactics for bringing people over to your side. One of the keys? Asking questions so people feel like they’re making the decision to change. Berger is the author of the book The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone’s Mind.

Why Cybersecurity Isn't Solely a Tech Problem | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast
Why Cybersecurity Isn’t Only a Tech Problem | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 20 Dec 2022 --- Thomas Parenty and Jack Domet, cofounders of the cybersecurity firm Archefact Group, say that most organizations are approaching cybersecurity all wrong. Whether they’re running small companies or working in multinational corporations, leaders have to think beyond their IT department and technology systems to instead focus on protecting their businesses’ most important assets from attack. They need to work across functions and geographies to identify key risks, imagine potential threats and adversaries, and develop a plan for combating them. Parenty and Domet are the authors of the HBR article “Sizing up your Cyber Risks,” as well as the HBR Press book, A Leader’s Guide to Cybersecurity.

The Explainer: Locating Your Company's Core Competencies
The Explainer: Finding Your Company's Core Competencies 2 Jul 2019 --- What does your company do better than anyone else? In the short run, a company’s competitiveness derives from the price/performance attributes of current products. But in the long run, competitiveness derives from an ability to build, at lower cost and more speedily than competitors, the core competencies that spawn unanticipated products. Core competencies are the collective learning in the organization, especially how to coordinate diverse production skills and integrate multiple streams of technologies. Unlike physical assets, which deteriorate over time, core competencies are enhanced as they are applied and shared. But competencies still need to be nurtured and protected; knowledge fades if it is not used. Competencies are the glue that binds existing businesses. They are also the engine for new business development. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off.

The Explainer: The Case for More Muted Meetings
The Explainer: The Case for More Silent Meetings 2 Dec 2019 --- Talking meetings have much merit, but can also be subject to a host of problems. There are approximately 55 million meetings a day in the United States. Although they often have many different purposes and goals, these meetings are typically conducted in the same way, time and time again. Namely, individuals gather together, virtually or face-to-face, to talk about a topic. We often don’t realize it, but talk is actually a choice; simply one of many different meeting styles or communication methods a leader can select. While talking meetings have much merit — when planned well they can be efficient and offer a level of comfort in speaking in person — they can also be subject to a host of problems: one person dominating, others checking out and multitasking, side conversations, straying off course, and pressures to conform to the boss’s ideas. The good news is that alternative approaches do exist and, depending on your task at hand, can work incredibly well. One such approach embraces silence. This technique may seem odd, but current research supports the benefits of holding a “silent meeting” as one way of better leveraging the ideas, perspectives, and insights of organizational talent. Leaders should add it to their toolbox in order to select the right meeting style for the job at hand. At the very least, trying new approaches will serve to keep meetings fresh, engaging, and interesting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off.

Chobani Founder Hamdi Ulukaya on the Journey from Closed Factory to Yogurt Powerhouse
Chobani Founder Hamdi Ulukaya on the Journey from Abandoned Factory to Yogurt Powerhouse 21 Apr 2022 --- Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya has a tale that practically defines the American Dream. Ulukaya, a Kurd, was born in eastern Turkey, where his family owned a small dairy farm. He eventually came to the U.S., and in 2005 came across an abandoned yogurt factory for sale in upstate New York. Ulukaya bought it and hired a small team and to make yogurt that was less sugary and less watery than what was generally produced in the U.S. The product was called Chobani, and it was a hit. Today Chobani is a global player and has more than 20% of the U.S. yogurt market. HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Ulukaya in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about: • How Chobani has managed to stay true to its original values, even as it massively scaled up and competed in a sector where quality often has to compete with profitability. • What it takes to truly put a company’s people at the center of the corporate mission. • His and Chobani’s role in supporting refugees, through employment—and other—opportunities worldwide. This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.

Crate & Barrel CEO Janet Hayes on Navigating Turbulent Times for Retail 16 Dec 2022 --- As CEO of retail giant Crate & Barrel, Janet Hayes has a unique perspective on how the pandemic disrupted consumers’ behaviors and altered attitudes.

Hayes says the company weathered the market’s turbulence by staying focused on what remains consistent: customers’ core expectations of value, quality, inspiration, and purpose.

When Your Partner Isn’t Giving You the Support You Need | Women at Work | Podcast
Before you got engaged, or had a child, or moved across the country for your partner’s job, did you sit down and ask each other questions like, What makes for a good life? and How much work is too much? Yeah, neither did we. These are the sorts of conversations that researcher Jennifer Petriglieri says lay the foundation for couples, especially working parents, to have a mutually supportive relationship and satisfying, if demanding, careers.Uploaded 09-11-22A woman named Rebecca remembers talking with her husband in depth about their values and goals early on in their relationship.

The Explainer: How to Operate as a Disruptor
The Explainer: How to Be a Disruptor 9 Jul 2019 --- Clay Christensen's landmark theory of disruptive innovation has proved to be a powerful way of thinking about innovation-driven growth. “Disruption” describes a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses. Specifically, as incumbents focus on improving their products and services for their most demanding (and usually most profitable) customers, they exceed the needs of some segments and ignore the needs of others. Entrants that prove disruptive begin by successfully targeting those overlooked segments, gaining a foothold by delivering more-suitable functionality — frequently at a lower price. Incumbents, chasing higher profitability in more-demanding segments, tend not to respond vigorously. Entrants then move upmarket, delivering the performance that incumbents’ mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success. When mainstream customers start adopting the entrants’ offerings in volume, disruption has occurred. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.

The vision for this new, blockchain-based web includes cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DAOs, decentralized finance, and more. It offers a read/write/own version of the web, in which users have a financial stake in and more control over the web communities they belong to. Web3 promises to transform the experience of being online as dramatically as PCs and smartphones did. It is not, however, without risk. Some companies have entered the space only to face a backlash over the environmental impact and financial speculation (and potential for fraud) that comes with Web3 projects. And while blockchain is offered as a solution to privacy, centralization, and financial exclusion concerns, it has created new versions of many of these problems. Companies need to consider both the risks and the benefits before diving in.Script by Tom Stackpole and Kelsey GripenstrawDesign and animation by Alex BelserArt direction by Karen PlayerVoiceover by Christine WilderCo-produced by Scott LaPierre and Gretchen GavettFollow Harvard Business Review:https://hbr.org/https://www.linkedin.com/company/harvard-business-review/https://www.facebook.com/HBR/https://twitter.com/HarvardBizhttps://www.instagram.com/harvard_business_reviewSign up for Newsletters: https://hbr.org/email-newsletters#HarvardBusinessReview #Explainer #Web3Copyright © 2022 Harvard Business School Publishing.

The Rush for a Covid-19 Vaccine
The Race for a Covid-19 Vaccine 23 Jun 2020 --- The CEO of Pfizer says his company is working to get a vaccine to the masses as quickly as possible — including those in disadvantaged and vulnerable communities. This video was recorded live on June 22, 2020. In March, Pfizer's CEO and chairman, Albert Bourla, called on company scientists to come up with a “moonshot”: develop a vaccine within 6 months instead of the more-standard 18-month period. Does science work that way?

What It Means to Be a Conscientious Leader
What It Means to Be a Moral Leader 22 Sep 2023 --- Remember when leaders could sidestep taking a stand on sensitive political or societal issues by saying, “The business of business is business”? That aloof neutrality no longer works, says Dov Seidman, founder and chairman of The HOW Institute for Society. “I think the business of business is society,” he says. “It's community, and how we relate to whatever comes our way and how thoughtfully and principled we are.” A leader standing up for what’s right is the new expectation of employees, customers, and other stakeholders. Not to mention relatives at the Thanksgiving dinner table. As AI ramps up and challenges humans’ monopoly on intelligence, purely human skills like moral judgment and empathy become even more crucial for leaders. While machines can be taught to do things right, Seidman says, only people can lead others to do the right things. For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Seidman, who’s also the author of How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything, to discuss: • How to let your principles guide you as a leader • The importance of taking a pause in order to reflect on, reconnect with, rethink, and reimagine your mission • Which human traits and abilities will grow in value as AI grows in raw intelligence This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

The Reality Beneath Imposter Syndrome | Christine vs Work
The Truth Behind Imposter Syndrome | Christine vs Work 17 Nov 2023 --- What if we’ve been going about imposter syndrome all wrong? Typically, imposter syndrome is framed as something an individual should mentally tackle, but there’s something much larger underneath these personal feelings of insecurity, doubt, and fear. The concept itself (described as “imposter phenomenon”) was coined in a psychology study from 1978. What was that study about, why has imposter syndrome become so popular, and what have we learned since then? I sought answers from Jodi-Ann Burey, a speaker, writer, and podcaster working in the intersections of race, culture, and health equity. If you have feelings that are commonly attributed to imposter syndrome, Jodi-Ann suggests asking yourself questions to better identify the root cause of these “imposter-y” sensations—whether what you’re feeling is simply a natural human response to acclimating to a new challenge or, more seriously, a indicator that systemic discrimination needs to be addressed. 00:00 Have you felt this? 00:52 Meet Jodi-Ann Burey 01:20 Where does this word come from? 01:50 Here' what the study says 03:41 Who is this affecting? 05:48 How to handle the real feelings 07:27 Ask yourself these questions 09:45 How do I share this information with others? 10:21 How to (really) stop imposter syndrome This video originally published on HBR's Ascend YouTube Channel in August, 2022.

The Explainer: What It Takes to Become a Great Leader
The Explainer: What It Takes to Be a Great Leader 25 Jun 2019 --- “Level 5” leadership is about combining fierce resolve with personal humility. “Level 5” refers to the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities. Leaders at the other four levels in the hierarchy can produce high degrees of success but not enough to elevate companies from mediocrity to sustained excellence. Level 5 leaders blend extreme personal humility with intense professional will. And while Level 5 leadership is not the only requirement for transforming a good company into a great one — other factors include getting the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off the bus) and creating a culture of discipline — research shows it to be essential. Good-to-great transformations don’t happen without Level 5 leaders at the helm. They just don’t. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off.

Twitch CEO on the Future of the Creator Economy - and the Challenge to Keep the Platform Safe
Twitch CEO on the Future of the Creator Economy - and the Challenge to Keep the Platform Safe 19 May 2022 --- Emmett Shear is cofounder and CEO of Twitch, the fast-growing streaming service popular with video gamers, which was purchased eight years ago by Amazon for nearly $1 billion. Emmett is also a part-time partner for the startup accelerator, Y Combinator. Twitch has been in the news recently: It was the platform used by the alleged shooter of 13 people at a Buffalo grocery store to livestream his actions. The company says the stream was removed less than two minutes after the violence started, but, as Shear explained to HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius, “there's obviously still work to be done” to make livestreaming platforms safer. Ignatius sat down with Shear in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about: • Tactics and strategies for keeping platforms like Twitch free of racist, hateful, and abusive speech. • The present and future of the creator economy, which he says promises to be, for some, a more fulfilling alternative to not just the gig economy, but regular full-time employment. • Monetization, and how it works differently for small creators with 5 followers, and experts with 50,000 followers. • From his time at Y Combinator, the best pieces of advice he’s developed for young startup entrepreneurs. This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.
