1. Adapt to survive.
Since the days of Darwin (and in many, many studies since those days) we’ve known adaptability is critical to success. But how does one actually become an adaptive thinker? Turns out, it all boils down to these three behaviors.
2. “Think like a man?”
Think again. Corporate women are often told to play like the guys—negotiate harder, compete more and toughen up. Research tells another story. Barbara Annis, founder of the Gender Intelligence Group, sat down with The Atlantic to talk about her experiences in professional bro-culture—and her vision for a new, gender-intelligent paradigm.
3. How’s your in-office networking?
We often think of relationship capital as a tool to close a sale or secure an introduction to a prospect, but this web of connections is vitally important within your organization as well. We’ve gathered three tips for creating iron-clad relationships in the workplace, and reaping the benefits of a well-connected team.
4. Lose the dysfunction.
Anyone who’s managed a group knows that the job often comes with personality clashes, motivation challenges and plain ol’ drama. So how can you make sure your team is working like one—and, more importantly, how can you fix it if it isn’t?
5. Woo your board.
