Five things we all need to succeed at work (and not one is a Foosball table, beer-cart Fridays or an open office environment): 1. The tools to get the job done 2. Clear expectations and goals 3. Regular constructive feedback (as in weekly or even daily; not once a year) 4. A sense of purpose and meaning (with the knowledge of how the work impacts company goals) 5. A well-trained manager who has hands-on experience in the work her team does #5 is essential to deliver #1 through #4. To maximize retention and productivity, this is where companies need to invest resources. Nice office spaces and perks are fine, but they are a poor substitute for actually investing in each employee's success. …see more

Whenever I do research into talent in any particular field, web design, photography, digital art, architecture, music, writing, animation, rendering, everything. It's just incredible how many extremely talented people there are. And yet the world around is far from a celebration of this. Most design is awful. Now great talent can be expensive, but not that much more. I wonder what best explains it. Like how can a website like Forbes exist when Frieze's does, how can a logos be becoming a sea of sameness, when wonderful designs are out there? How can ads be so crap when a video like this is so stunning. …see more

Amazing how many companies have an Apple Watch App or a VR experience, but no way to contact them on email. Digital transformation is improving systems, products, experiences, not "innovation" headlines.

The world is in flux. So is digital marketing. If marketers want to succeed in the year 2021 and beyond, they'll need to embrace some big changes that are coming, like: 💥 the rise of marketing AI 💥 the growth of voice search 💥 renewed interest in branding 💥 new "brick-and-click" retail models ... and a few more. #digitalmarketing #marketingtrends #marketingtechnology …see more

57% of Americans cannot pay a $500 bill. 78% say they live paycheck to paycheck. It is not realistic to expect people to be politically functional if they are dealing with scarcity day-to-day. We need to secure people's future with UBI to move forward.

The hard-to-hear truth: Most grudges are disappointments based around unmet expectations. When we're rushed, and under stress, it's easy to default to what we know best: how we think, what we want, and how we would handle things. We make assumptions, especially with colleagues with whom we've worked for a while, believing that everyone knows what our expectations are, even if we haven't formally announced them. When leading others, be upfront about your expectations. And if they fall short, position the discrepancy in a non-threatening way that will help both parties understand how to proceed and right the situation. A great tip I learned long ago from an HR professional was to begin a conversation like that with these words: “My expectation is ____, but my observation is ____. Let’s talk about why that might be the case.” Likewise, concede that you don't know what others—your colleagues, clients, or boss—want or expect, and it's not about you. Instead of guessing, employ your soft skills. Practice empathy to see things from their perspective. Ask probing question and then listen, giving others your full and undivided attention. Use your awareness to connect and better communicate with those in your workplace. #leadership #communication #connection #softskills #mindset …see more
