When Your Job Isn't Your Dream Job 3 Sep 2024 --- “Dream jobs” are often idealized, but in reality, finding a job that aligns with your purpose, values, and goals is incredibly difficult. This is especially true during times of uncertainty or crisis — when our priorities inevitably shift. Even so, many of us can be hard on ourselves or get demotivated searching for the perfect role. In these moments, it’s important to remember that we first need to meet our basic needs before we can gain the energy and drive we need to reach our higher-level goals. Accepting your current circumstances and focusing on “right now” doesn’t make you a failure. The first step towards obtaining what you want in the future is taking care of yourself in the present.

Why Some Companies Thrived During the Pandemic | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 19 Jan 2023 --- Keith Ferrazzi, founder of the consulting firm Ferrazzi Greenlight, led a survey of more than 2,000 executives to study how they reengineered operations during the pandemic.

Ferrazzi argues that after months of ruthlessly adapting, leaders should continue on a path of resilience and agility to stay competitive in the post-Covid-19 world.

China’s New Innovation Advantage 13 Apr 2021 --- China is achieving a new level of global competitiveness, thanks to its hyper-adaptive population, says Zak Dychtwald, author of "Young China" and founder of Young China Group. 0:00: The future of the Chinese economy is in innovation 0:32: What’s behind China’s new innovation advantage? 1:05: We shouldn’t be so focused on the innovators 1:37: Why do people in China adopt new technologies so readily? 2:05: China is an outlier in a very important way 3:38: What’s so powerful about having all these early adopters? 5:07: What can companies in other countries learn from China? To understand what’s powering the global rise of Chinese companies, we need to recognize that China now has at its disposal a resource that no other country has. That is: a vast population that has lived through unprecedented amounts of change and, consequently, has developed an astonishing propensity for adopting and adapting to innovations, at a speed and scale that is unmatched elsewhere on earth. It’s that aspect of China’s innovation ecosystem—its hundreds of millions of hyper-adoptive and hyper-adaptive consumers—that makes China so globally competitive today. In the end, innovations must be judged by people’s willingness to use them. And on that front China has no peer.

Jim Fielding, Ex-Head of Disney Stores, on the Struggles of Making It as a Queer Executive 18 Aug 2023 --- What does it feel like to live inauthentically at work? For his first professional job in the 1980s, in the fashion industry, Jim Fielding led what he calls a “double life.” With close friends and confidants, he was open about his relationship with another man. But at work, when discussing his partner he’d switch his pronouns and change stories to conform to expectations at the time. The inauthenticity created emotional, physical, and mental problems. “I was having migraines,” Fielding says today. “I was having stomach problems. I was way too young to be feeling that amount of stress.” Eventually, he moved to a company where he felt comfortable openly being himself, and from there he’s had a long, illustrious career as an entertainment industry executive, including stints as Global Head for Consumer Products and Retail Development at Dreamworks Animation and president of Disney Stores Worldwide. For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Fielding, whose book All Pride, No Ego: A Queer Executive's Journey to Living and Leading Authentically has just been published, to discuss: • His advice to young queer professionals on how to be authentic at work and in life • Finding LGBTQ+ allies, and becoming an ally for future generations • “Coming out” versus “inviting in”: the journey to an authentic self involves making yourself vulnerable to others and asking for help This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

What Happens When Your Career Becomes Your Whole Identity 7 Apr 2022 --- Hating your job is one thing – but what happens if you identify so closely with it that hating your job means hating yourself? 00:00 Many people with high-pressure jobs find themselves unhappy with their careers 00:38 Here are several reasons high-pressure jobs lead to this feeling 02:00 Losing your career can feel like losing your identity 02:15 Here are steps you can take to initiate change 02:30 1. Free up time 02:56 2. Start small 03:02 3. Rebuild your network 03:20 4. Decide what's important to you 03:40 5. Look beyond your job title 03:56 The takeaway Psychologists use the term “enmeshment” to describe a situation where the boundaries between people become blurred, and individual identities lose importance. Enmeshment prevents the development of a stable, independent sense of self. While identifying closely with your career isn’t necessarily bad, it makes you vulnerable to a painful identity crisis if you burn out, get laid off, or retire. Individuals in these situations frequently suffer anxiety, depression, and despair. By claiming back some time for yourself and diversifying your activities and relationships, you can build a more balanced and robust identity in line with your values. Based on the HBR article by Janna Koretz: What Happens When Your Career Becomes Your Whole Identity (https://hbr.org/2019/12/what-happens-when-your-career-becomes-your-whole-identity).

With so many offices working remotely this year, no doubt you’ve been invited to a virtual happy hour, birthday celebration, or event that in the end just felt like another meeting disguised as a social event. Innovation Editor Christine Liu was desperate to find out if there is a secret formula to throwing a virtual event that wouldn’t feel like the dreaded “mandatory fun.” Tasked with hosting the HBR.org holiday party, Christine spoke with Bryan Rafanelli, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Rafanelli Events, who specializes in high-end events like weddings and fundraisers, or any other social gathering in need of creative direction and planning. He’s not new to virtual parties, but this year he pivoted his long list of projects to virtual. The key to virtual party planning? Understand what makes parties (in general) work well. Bryan’s tips include: Truly believe the party will be a hit! Create buzz and hype among the who’s who on the guestlist Keep the event short (no more than 30 minutes) Assign a host or emcee to keep the party moving and on schedule Designate a way for guests to actively participate Throw in elements of surprise and delight Learn more about Bryan Rafanelli: https://www.rafanellievents.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- We’d love to hear from you!

Why People Resist Retirement 6 Sep 2024 --- Research suggests making the decision to retire means grappling with three psychological issues. 1) First, identity issues can loom large for any deeply engaged professional. Even a small step away from a career can make a person wonder who they are without it. 2) Second, many older professionals resist leaving meaningful work. 3) Finally, the third is the dread of losing the strong relationships that accumulate over the course of a long, successful career. HBS Professor Teresa M. Amabile offers advice for dealing with each of these. Read the full article: https://s.hbr.org/3XB0Eaf Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Real Talk: Black Women on Balancing Pressure, Fatigue, and New Opportunities in Uncertain Times 1 Nov 2021 --- Black women are often "the onlys" in their organizations, putting tremendous pressure on them in uncertain times, but also offering unique opportunities. The pandemic and social unrest over the past 18 months have taken a disproportionate toll on Black women. As organizations begin to have conversations about racism, exclusion, justice, belongingness, and equity, Black women are often leading those conversations. And they’re frequently tasked with helping to develop solutions to these challenges. Our three hosts ask themselves: how do you balance the pressure, stress, and fatigue, with the onus of wanting to do well not only for ourselves, but for others?

Understanding the Venture Capital Gender Gap | HBR IdeaCast 5 Apr 2023 --- Jenny Lefcourt, partner at Freestyle VC and cofounder of All Raise, says that even as a serial entrepreneur herself, she long underestimated how little venture capital funding goes to female startup founders compared to the money men get. She believes unconscious biases, an industry built on intuition, and historical dynamics all contribute to this inequity. They also affect the low numbers of women in decision-making roles at VC firms. Lefcourt explains the ways the industry can actively reduce this gap.

Why “Wisdom Work” Is the New “Knowledge Work” 30 Aug 2024 --- The workforce is getting older, but the number of younger workers in positions of senior management is growing. These two developments might appear to spell trouble, but in fact they represent an important opportunity: If companies can figure out how to enable the intergenerational transfer of the wisdom that comes with age and experience, they can strengthen themselves — and the workplace as a whole.

How to Get Through the Workday When the News is Terrible 22 Mar 2021 --- 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮! ✨ https://www.youtube.com/c/HBRAscend ✨ 2020 was a rough year. And the start of 2021 doesn't feel like it's getting any easier. So how do you stay focused at work? 00:00 2020 was a rough year. 02:05 How do you unplug from social media when it's your day job? 03:19 How do you tell your team that you need a break from talking about the news? 04:37 How do we, as BIPOC navigate these kind of situations? 05:52 What if we are in a predominantly white workspace? 06:50 How can we stay focused at work when chaos strikes? Should we? 07:41 How can we practice protecting our mental health while staying productive? 09:16 What You Need to Remember We talked to Dr. Angela Neal-Barnett, a professor at Kent University and the director of the Program for Research on Anxiety Disorders Among African Americans (PRADAA). She shared her advice on how we can stay focused at work when the news is painful to watch and being recirculated all around us. She also shared her thoughts on how events, like what happened in Washington, D.C. in January of this year, can affect the Black and brown communities, and what we can do about it. Here are some ways to help you stay focused: When you leave work, you have to leave work. Close the door, put away your laptop, and truly log-off. You have to create that balance. Manage the time you’re spending with technology, and if at all possible, unplug. Remember that people cannot read your mind. If your coworkers are distracting you, politely tell them you are busy and will catch up with them later. __________________________________________________________________________ We’d love to hear from you!

Mastering the Art of Persuasion | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 21 Dec 2022 --- Jonah Berger, professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, says that most of us aren’t approaching persuasion the right way. Pushing people to behave how you’d like them to or believe the same things you do just doesn’t work, no matter how much data you give or how many emotional appeals you make. Studying both psychology and business, he’s found better tactics for bringing people over to your side. One of the keys? Asking questions so people feel like they’re making the decision to change. Berger is the author of the book The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone’s Mind.

The Innovation System Behind Moderna’s Covid-19 Vaccine | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 30 Nov 2022 --- Noubar Afeyan, cofounder and chair of Moderna Therapeutics and CEO of Flagship Pioneering, says that the breakthrough innovation behind the company’s Covid-19 vaccine came not as a stroke of luck, but from a repeatable process. He outlines a system called “emergent discovery” that involves working back from future ideals, pioneering in novel spaces, encouraging unreasonable ideas, and persistently questioning hypotheses. And he says this process applies to other industries besides life sciences. Afeyan is the coauthor, with HBS professor Gary Pisano, of the HBR article “What Evolution Can Teach Us About Innovation.” This episode originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on September 23, 2021.

Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes: How Ukraine Has Highlighted Gaps in US Defense Technologies 24 Mar 2022 --- Gregory Hayes is CEO and chairman of Raytheon Technologies, and offers a unique view on what it means to be running an aerospace and defense giant at a time when the whole world is fixated on the war in Ukraine. The company’s Javelin and Stinger missiles have been key ingredients in the Ukrainian resistance to Russian advances, but Hayes warned that “the Russians are ahead of [the US] in terms of having capabilities today to launch hypersonic missiles.” This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.

Want to Be Happier? Value Time Over Money 18 Nov 2020 --- Here’s how to know if you’re making enough time for happiness, and what to do if you’re not. A preponderance of evidence shows that the feeling of having enough time — “time affluence” — is now at a record low in the United States. This situation is so severe it could even be described as a “famine” — a collective cultural failure to effectively manage our most precious resource, time. Time poverty exists across all economic strata, and its effects are profound. Research shows that those who feel time-poor experience lower levels of happiness and higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. They experience less joy. They laugh less. They exercise less and are less healthy. Their productivity at work is diminished. They are more likely to get divorced. Harvard Business School’s Ashley Whillans offers advice on how to reclaim your time--and be happier. For more: https://www.amazon.com/Time-Smart-Reclaim-Your-Happier-ebook/dp/B0842X6L2C --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We enlist the foremost experts in a wide range of topics, including career planning, strategy, leadership, work-life balance, negotiations, innovation, and managing teams.
