I run into them in every company I work with. Solid managers with real contributions. They work hard, they’re incredibly loyal, and they’ve been on the succession planning list forever. Much of the time they even have an MBA…AND they’re stuck. The promotions come and go. They’ve heard the pep talk so many times they can recite it in their sleep. 5 Behaviors That Keep You From Getting Promoted.

Not many people get pay raises, promotions or great new jobs because they fail. "Fail" is often a dirty word and can kill careers. Have the word "failure" follow you around for long, and you may even start to believe you are one. But Baba Shiv, a professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, explains that it's how you approach failure that makes the biggest difference.

I am in the car with the Ex and the kids. The Ex plays a Yeastie Girls CD, which was probably mine but he wanted it in the divorce. It’s a live concert and in the middle they start giving away speculums to promote women’s health. The boys perk up when the Yeastie Girls yell out to the audience, “Don’t use this in your butt!” Suddenly women’s health is a fascinating topic.

A Winning Well post with David Dye. In a recent Winning Well interview, Bob Morris asked “You talk about Winning Well, but what does it mean to lose well? David and I both laughed the kind of half-hearted chuckle that comes only after enough distance from the pain. And as timing would have it, I’ve recently been helping both of my children process through disappointing losses on the college political front and the baseball field.

When IT has an unfilled opening, the entire organization feels it. Projects stall, daily processes slow and productivity drops. That’s why human resources often kicks into overdrive to try and fill IT positions as quickly as possible. They know that technology is so deeply ingrained into every department that it’s critical for the bottom line to get IT running as smoothly – and quickly – as possible.

Everyone and their fifth grade cousin are playing Pokémon Go right now. Maybe it’s because it’s trendy. Maybe it’s because it’s a stupid amount of silly fun. Maybe it’s because it keeps them active. Maybe it’s because, like me, they were that kid who used to get caught playing Pokémon Blue on Gameboy Color in the back of their sixth grade math class.

Whether you’re shopping for your very first learning management system (LMS) or looking to upgrade, the process can be overwhelming. With so many vendor options, each with its own multitude of features and pricing structures, even the most seasoned educators, trainers, and business leaders can feel lost in a sea of choices! Finding the LMS that’s best suited for your organization requires a planned, strategic approach.

Summertime is when all the music teachers and students disperse to various music camps, institutes, and conferences. The music teaching world is very local. The summer music world is location-independent. We are in Claremont, Calif. right now, for the National Cello Institute , which is more international than national and my son has so many friends from Australia that he’s started talking with their accent.

David Dye and I do truly strive to lead by example. So I wasn’t shocked the other day when my Winning Well co-author leveraged a practice straight out of chapter 20, thanking me for something I’d done to promote our Winning Well mission. And then, hearkening back to chapter 7 (accountability), I laughed and said, “If I were really a good co-author I would have done __.” (it really doesn’t matter what this is, as I will here pull a Scarlett Ohara , and be sure to wo

Do you get a lack of respect at work? Do you feel like you're being passed over for promotions or opportunities that should have been yours? If so, it could be because you're "telling" others to ignore you. You're "telling" others that you lack confidence to tackle the big jobs. "Not so!" you may cry. You may not be saying it with your words, but you may be telling others loud and clear with your body language that you're not strong enough to cope with a challenge.

What do dirty, worn sneakers have to do with turning around a business? If you’re LEGOs, it means everything. LEGO executives – who had been told countless times by experts that they were in trouble because future generations would lose interest in the building blocks – decided to pay an 11-year-old boy a visit in 2004. The boy was not only an avid LEGO user, but was passionate about skateboarding.

Innovation and business strategy experts are urging more companies to collaborate with outside partners to stay competitive, but research shows the risk can be great if the contribution level isn’t carefully considered. While companies like Apple can thank outside collaborative partners for products such as the hugely successful iPhone, there are unfortunately many collaborative efforts that have failed.

Over the weekend I watched several news hosts interview various people around the U.S. who explained why they planned to vote for a certain presidential candidate in November. One thing that struck me was the number of people who were either unemployed or about to lose their jobs who decided to base their vote on the idea that a presidential candidate would bring back their jobs and defunct industries to their towns.

Like a lot of people, I read the "Nanny Diaries" and watched "The Devil Wears Prada." What I took away from those experiences: Rich people are cra-cra. OK, maybe not crazy, but they definitely operate in a different world. I had my first job at 15 (washing communion cups) and haven't stopped working since. My days are not filled with lavish parties or private jets or business meetings in Paris.

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
