This is an insightful article on how people promotions impact company culture and performance. The onus is on a company to make its promotions’ process well-defined and transparent. When employees are clear about how decisions are made on promotions, they know what is expected of them, and where their company is headed. Otherwise, employees are demoralised, and engage in unproductive guesswork, which helps nobody. All companies claim to have their own ‘culture’, but surveys show it is often superficial, and not ingrained amongst the employees. Also, criteria for promotions in one company may not work for another. It’s the guiding philosophy of the leadership team which determines the ‘culture’ of a company. Michael C.

Whether it's changing our penchant for eating unhealthy food or reining in our predilection for distraction, starting a new routine is very different from breaking an existing habit.

According to Psychology Today, here are three science-backed reasons to love thyself! (Article Below)👇 1️⃣ Increase Strength... A change in attitude with improved self-compassion is linked with greater well-being as well as superior performance outcomes. 2️⃣ Increase Productivity... Self-criticism leads to painful and self-defeating emotions in the face of failure, Self-Compassion therefore embraces challenge. 3️⃣ Decrease Stress... Self-criticism activates the sympathetic nervous system and elevates stress hormones such as cortisol in our bloodstream. 💘 Journaling and meditation are excellent tools to work on self compassion!

Covid-19 is ravaging the global economy and presenting employers with unprecedented challenges. For Gravity chief executive Dan Price, that challenge was crushing: The company's revenue had essentially been cut in half. Price was faced with a grave decision: Lay off 20% of his employees or go bankrupt. Price refused to accept either option. Instead, he decided to do something almost unheard of in today's business environment: He asked his employees what to do. "As a CEO, I don't believe in top-down decisions," Price said on Twitter. "I spent 40 hours talking with every employee about our finances and asked for ideas." What followed was a master class in emotional intelligence--and a major lesson in how to run a business in the face of difficult challenges.

Powerful statements from Melinda Gates in this article. So many great points that she brought up. The fact that she emphasized our work systems are archaically designed for men who have supporting wives at home it’s a super important point to understand. In this day and age, with so many families having a woman/wife/Mom who’s working and more men (whether they have stay-home-wife or not) interested in participating in parenting and childcare, the mindsets and the work environments need to adjust. I also admire Melinda’s point about the fact that we don’t have “pipeline” problem for not having more women at the leadership positions, but rather we have problem retaining women at work; it’s 10x more difficult for women to balance work and life due to the false social and professional expectations. #equalrights #femaleadership #retainingwomen #womenleadership …see more
