'If you were among the millions of movie fans around the world who tuned in to the Oscars this weekend, you may still be debating the merits of Boyhood vs. Birdman. But I was more interested in another film nominated for Best Picture: Whiplash , a movie about a relentlessly cruel bandleader and a young student musician who aspires to become one of the jazz greats.

'You guys know I live in a warm climate. So when the weather gets cold, instead of turning on the heater, I reach for a long sleeve t-shirt. My favorite is one from a past employer. I’ve had it for years – it’s soft and broken in. If you’ve ever had a favorite t-shirt, you know what I’m talking about. While it’s so worn that I would never wear it out in public, it does remind me of the time when I would wear this company t-shirt to run errands or go to the grocery store.

'Employee engagement is often attributed to the work environment, the work itself, and even a lack of communication. What has a tendency to fly under the radar, however, is the managers who supervise them. A poor manager can leave the team disengaged and unmotivated to strive beyond the bare minimum. Unfortunately, some managers aren’t prepared enough to feel comfortable leading their team.

AI isn’t replacing salespeople—it’s empowering them. The most forward-thinking sales organizations are using AI to enhance human performance rather than eliminate it.

Any high risk goal can damage your reputation, your staff member, and even the organization. . Manage risks by discussing the actions your person plans to implement. Then, monitor the results and agree on frequent reviews to catch anything that needs adjusting before things get "off track.

On top of that, Pam had an inbox full of vacation/personal time off (PTO) requests.

And if you’re in HR, it’s likely that you’ve given these types of leaders training at some point on how to give more constructive feedback.

'by Derek Irvine. Recognize This! – How and why we work matters as much as what we do. “So, what do you do?” That might be the most commonly asked question in social situations. The answer to that can be fairly straightforward – “I’m a consultant.” “I’m a doctor.” Far more interesting however, is the real answer to the question. Instead of the above “I’m a doctor,” perhaps, “I help give sick kids a future” would be a more accurate and engaging answer.
