Fifteen years ago, after a weekend career retreat I ran for myself, I walked into my full-time job and quit.

The second is this article in The Guardian, which points out that our current economic woes are in large part due to the rewarding and celebration of psychopathic behaviors in the workplace. .

I'm doing some work in some very broken systems lately. The problem is, the people involved don't want to see it.

It's what keeps us in bad situations, whether they are at work or in our personal lives.

'Sometimes managers just talk too much. Our mantra is listen more, talk less. Employees who believe they are being heard with resulting changes or tweaks to how things are run are generally the most satisfied in their jobs.
