“Nicole” called me looking for help on employee engagement. “Karin, I’m looking at our employee engagement survey and 80% of the respondents said they haven’t had a one-on-one meeting with their boss in the last year. How is that possible? And what do we do now?” Sadly, it’s not the first time I’ve run into such a situation.

I’m in the Houston airport waiting to fly home and I am sad that I’m not with my kids. It doesn’t feel fun to fly around the country making deals when you have a home life that depends on you. Which is why most women who have control over their lives don’t travel for work. But look, if you have a career where you earn more than $100K, you either routinely work late, or you travel for work.

The rising quantity of data and scientific studies on leadership doesn't seem to have improved the quality of leadership in the real world. So it's no surprise that this year's best business books on talent and leadership merge art with science to offer distinctive insights that are useful in everyday life and that resonate with human experience. Two of the books -- new offerings by the famously skeptical Jeffrey Pfeffer and the influential team of James M.

When things go wrong at companies - whether they're epic debacles or minor glitches - it often seems the system is in some ways to blame. The real culprit turns out to be a hodgepodge of systems, processes, or managerial decisions that didn't raise alarms until the consequences suddenly exploded. This year's three best business books on management offer compelling and useful advice on how to avoid such problems.

Business, like life, is inherently uncertain. So it's no surprise that this year's three most compelling books on the topic of strategy touch on how to plan for, quantify, and cope with unpredictability -- in life, business, nature, and geopolitics. The first two -- Yossi Sheffi's The Power of Resilience and Robert Salomon's Global Vision -- are explicitly about managing the risks faced by managers of large global enterprises.

This year's best books about technology recognize the tensions inherent in new technologies - the ability to bring about enormous good and progress, and the potential to cause enormous harm and disruption. In The Age of Discovery: Navigating the Risks and Rewards of Our New Renaissance, by Ian Goldin and Chris Kutarna, make a strong history-based case that the post-Cold War era rivals the original Renaissance as an epoch of unparalleled progress and quantum leaps.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

This year's best business books on marketing tend to "think small." -albeit in wildly different ways. While information technology allows company to amass and analyze huge volumes of aggregate data on customer behavior, the authors of these books argue we need to understand and relate to consumers at the micro level. How? It could be by taking an anthropological approach, as Martin Lindstrom does in Small Data, or by deciding to Hug Your Haters, as Jay Baer urges, or by taking a cue from B.
