Let me share my recent experience at an Apple Store in Connecticut: The story begins with my daughter giving me a brand new iPhone which she had purchased via a contract upgrade (never used, still in the shrink-wrap). This was right about at the time when COVID hit the world. Not interested in finding a
The pandemic has upended the talent world. There are two forces at play. First, unlike previous workforce upheavals, this one has been led by employees choosing to part ways with their employers, not by employers paring their headcount. The “frozen in time” nature of the pandemic has caused many to reflect on their career paths.
Once you’ve made some big plays and delivered on key milestones, the journey doesn’t end; you need to prepare to come back stronger. Being proud but never satisfied is an attitude. It’s a mentality where you always strive to do better. It doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy your accomplishments or don’t celebrate. But never being
This is Part Two of a three-part series. In our earlier article on how executives can kick-start their companies’ diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) journey, we noted that even DEI programs that have begun generating results will encounter obstacles, such as complacency or a loss of focus among executives. To address such hurdles, executives must
Have you ever worked for a leader who doesn’t handle stress well? Trust me, it’s not a great experience—and it certainly doesn’t bring out the best in people.

It may well hold a stake in your company. It more than likely manages assets for your pension scheme. CEOs and CFOs of companies in which BlackRock was invested used
It is not surprising to me that CEOs are joining the Great Resignation and leaving jobs in record numbers. Chiefs are making personal decisions about their futures and in some cases, decisions are being made for them. In my 35 years in government, business, and philanthropy, I have helped organizations to both survive and thrive.
The performance management process — and conducting performance reviews in particular — is often a source of frustration for leaders. And in a hybrid working environment, where it’s more challenging for leaders to directly observe their employees’ working habits and team interactions, the issue of how best to set and assess performance has taken on
There’s a lot being said right now about the “great resignation.” And rightly so. According to Microsoft’s 2021 Work Trend Index, two in five workers (41%) worldwide are likely to consider leaving their current employer within the next year. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Labor has spent several months reporting record-breaking numbers of US workers

From labor shortages to supply chain snarls, worker safety issues to inflation, this is one of the most volatile, challenging times facing CEOs that anyone can remember.

With Covid-19 throwing a wrench into almost all organizations’ plans, it’s to no one’s surprise that a lot of the way we go about business has changed. Along with the “Great Resignation,” company leadership has faced new challenges, but none more so than retaining valuable staff. It is more important than ever that employees who
