Our Digital Lives Don’t Need to Make Us Unhappy, Unhealthy, and Unwise
Summary. Historians and clinicians may someday call this moment “peak content.” In 2019, Americans will consume an average of 12 hours and 7 minutes of digital assets every single day.

The 3 Elements of Trust
Summary. As a leader, you want the people in your organization to trust you. And with good reason. In our coaching with leaders, we often see that trust is a leading indicator of whether others evaluate them positively or negatively.

Research: Women Are Winning More Scientific Prizes, But Men Still Win the Most Prestigious Ones
Summary. Do women receive the same recognition in science as men? Do they have access to the same incentives? A new study found that while women are indeed winning more prizes, they still lag significantly on prize quality: they win fewer prestigious prizes and less money than men, despite comparable quality of work. Researchers documented biomedical research prizes over the past five decades (196
Beyond the Holacracy Hype
The Hype Holacracy and other forms of self-organization have been getting a lot of press. Proponents hail them as “flat” environments that foster flexibility, engagement, productivity, and efficiency. Critics say they’re naive, unrealistic experiments. The Reality Neither view is quite right. Although the new forms can help organizations become more adaptable and nimble, most companies shouldn’t a
To Give a Great Presentation, Distill Your Message to Just 15 Words
Summary. Fearless public speaking is about more than combating nerves. It’s about knowing the technique, the art, and the business of public speaking.

Why Highly Efficient Leaders Fail
Summary. With ever-increasing demands at work, being able to get things done can be a key driver of success. But, the irony is that it can also deter success, because a focus on tasks often comes at the expense of a focus on people. Things like building relationships, inspiring a team, developing others, and showing empathy can fall by the wayside. If you sense that you may be overly task-focused,
Why Visionary Leadership Fails
Summary. Visionary leadership is widely seen as key to strategic change. That’s because visionary leadership does not just set the strategic direction — it tells a story about why the change is worth pursuing and inspires people to embrace the change.

How Will We Prevent AI-Based Forgery?
Summary. Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) point to an age where forgery of documents, pictures, audio recordings, videos, and online identities will occur with unprecedented ease.

The big number
The Hard Data on Being a Nice Boss
Summary. Is it better to get your staff to like you, or be tough and inspire respect and hard work?
