It’s your lucky day! You meet a kind stranger who offers you your choice of a great deal, something for nothing. No tricks, really: you’re getting a free lunch. She gives you $45. Then, she asks if you want to keep that money, or give it to her in exchange for a coin flip, where

The future of work is here, coupled with one of the hottest job markets we’ve ever seen. While CEOs and senior leaders have always sought profit margins and talent retention, the most effective tool for achieving both at once has changed: employee choice and well-being rather than a one-size-fits-all list of perks and benefits. Many
While most of us think that there is nothing more stable in international investment than U.S. Real Estate, let’s put the disparities in perspective by focusing on the three gorillas in this space. I would like to focus on three key differences for investing in New York City real estate when compared to cities such
When our business revenue falls short of what it needs to be, it is not only the sales team careers at risk – all jobs are under the spotlight. Which means in this era of uncertainty, with lockdowns and fears of pandemic outbreaks, from the CEO down – we should all be concerned about what
A year ago, James was fizzing with excitement. He’d been appointed to lead a new high visible sustainability programme, along with other key players in his industry. It was a big gig for his new role, and he was determined to pull it off. With a working group of keen participants at the ready, James
Do you remember your first day of work with your current employer? Did someone show you around, or were you left to find the cafeteria on your own? Maybe you attended an orientation and met your team at a welcome event. Or perhaps your experience was vastly different: you may have been handed an employee
As we slowly emerge from the pandemic and the resulting stay-at-home orders, organizational leaders need to make difficult decisions on who will—and won’t—be required to return to the office. With study after study showing that most employees are not interested in returning full time, pre-pandemic policies won’t cut it. Before Covid-19, it was uncommon to
As you read the title of this article, I know this may feel somewhat counter intuitive. We have used the word when leading and managing “change” for decades. When instigating a project we expect things to develop from one place to another or introducing something new to a system or process and maybe to take
Many events have unfolded since Chief Executive’s first survey of U.S. HR leaders this past February. Accelerating Covid-19 vaccinations, re-opening of businesses and soaring consumer demand have all been driving positive economic momentum. At the same time, growing shortages of materials and skilled labor, fears of inflation and concerns about increases to taxes and regulation are casting shadows over the recovery. That mixed picture is clearly reflected in our latest CHRO Confidence Index survey, conducted by Chief Executive and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). HR leaders’ confidence in an improving business landscape over the next 12 months continues to grow, outstripping that of their counterparts
As of June 4, 2021, French fashion tycoon Bernard Arnault – the owner of the luxury group LVMH- is the world’s richest person with an estimated net worth of $190.3 billion. This means that he has surpassed Jeff Bezos with an estimated net worth of $186.7 billion and Elon Musk, with an estimated net worth
Savvy organizations have re-emerged from their Covid fog to plan and navigate what the future looks like in 2022 and beyond. One thing is certain: change is inevitable. Work has been forever altered. General Motors CEO Mary Barra recently announced a flexible remote work plan for its 155,000 employees with one of the most sensible
You probably heard the advice that “failing to plan is planning to fail.” That phrase is a misleading myth at best and actively dangerous at worst. Making plans is important, but our gut reaction is to plan for the best-case outcomes, ignoring the high likelihood that things will go wrong. A much better phrase is
We’re almost at the finish line, but not quite. Throughout the Covid-19 crisis, it’s been a long, tough haul. Many managers face a real dilemma as we enter this period of uncertainty: How hard should I push my team and the organization right now? With the end of the pandemic in sight, we can see
As COVID-19 winds down and employees return to the office, companies need to remember that (paraphrasing Cyndi Lauper) “employees just want to have fun.” Most white-collar employees have been cooped up for over a year, isolated and stressed on many levels: professionally, socially, and even physically. Being human, they need and want personal interaction. But
Global talent acquisition and management firm Korn Ferry has recently revealed what many of us in the talent development and leadership space have known for quite a while. “Happy” members of your organization are your greatest asset, while “nomads” (job-hoppers who frequently move within the company or between companies) do more harm than good to
Although there are not a lot of surveys available about the number of digital nomads nowadays, someone can easily come to the conclusion that this trend has a rising course lately, mainly due to the special conditions created by the pandemic. Digital Nomads are the people who work remotely from different parts of the world
A consortium of private equity firms Blackstone Group Inc., Carlyle Group Inc., and Hellman & Friedman has agreed to purchase medical supply manufacturer and distributor Medline Industries Inc. The Northfield, Illinois-based company, Medline Industries, is the largest privately-held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies in the United States, generating sales of $17.5 billion in 2020,
The need for a more diverse and inclusive leadership model has led to changes in recent years. Τhrough these changes women won a lot, taking on more senior positions in businesses. In 2021, there is a reason to feel optimistic, as the figure of women in senior positions reached 31% globally. This indicates that, in
Stephan Aarstol did not decide to shake up the work week in 2015 because he was trying to fix something broken. On the contrary, the San Diego-based company, Tower Paddle Boards, had been enjoying a long period of financial and other successes since its founding five years earlier. In 2012, after Aarstol appeared on NBC’s
The world of Facebook advertising as many brands know it is being shaken up. Apple’s latest iOS 14.5 mobile operating system release includes a new user privacy feature that prompts consumers to opt-out of behavioral tracking in apps that frequently sell data to third parties. The truth is, Apple users have always been able to
