Peter Drucker once quipped that, “Much of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to work.” Recent research from the Boston Consulting Group confirms that employees can do better work when they’re liberated from much of the bureaucratic cruft that passes for daily management.

Reading Time: 4 minutes. When you walk into an interview, even before you speak, shake hands or talk through your resume, something else is doing a lot of talking in your behalf: your appearance.

Sure, there’s plenty of truth in those sayings, but the good news is that right now—in the middle of the Covid-19 outbreak—they’re less relevant than ev

Many people assume that eLearning is automatically a bit impersonal. When classes are taught through online forums and video conferencing, there’s a kind of distance between the instructors and students, particularly a physical one.

They are downright nasty and crabby most of the time. The words that spew from their mouths are offensive. Negative politics has become an art and a weapon. While it has always been around, with social media it moves at the speed of light reaching more people faster.

But there are some topics and some moments where that sort of levity feels out of place.
