It's pretty much a given that everyone hates performance reviews, which is why more companies are urging managers to give "continuous feedback."

While this is all feedback, none of it is really helpful.

Does your boss set you up to fail? Two decades ago, Jean-Francois Manzoni and Jean-Louis Barsoux wrote about their research showing that bosses often have a part in an employee's failure to succeed.

If you are a business leader, you are probably thinking about radical change. A conventional transformation initiative won't get you close to your goals. Take control of your future with these four elements: (1) create a strategic identity; (2) design for trust; (3) master the pivot from startup to scale-up; (4) treat your legacy as an asset. Use these principles differently in different situations, but don't ignore them; they are the core elements in any successful major change effort.

I’ve written a lot about bad career advice in the past. It’s funny how, once you start thinking it about it, you notice it everywhere. It’s like when you’re looking to buy a new car and then suddenly it seems like everyone in the world drives the exact make and model you want. Bad career advice jumps out at me like a bright yellow Porsche in a sea of black Hondas.

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.
