Demographic vs. Situational Gravitas

CaseInterview.com

When I was Stanford, I took a sociology class focused on the topic of status. It was fascinating. The big lesson learned from that class is your social status determines a large part of your influence. Things like ethnicity, gender, height, and educational achievement determine how others perceive the validity of your ideas. For example, if you take two identical resumes -- one with an obviously man’s name versus one with an obviously woman’s name, the man will get more interview invitations.

How Have We Grown

Chad Barr

Here we are again. September 11, 2019, now 18 years since that horrific attack on our nation that we simply remember as 9/11. Forever ingrained in our brains, those numbers, 9/11, only conjure up that which is evil and still incomprehensible. How have we grown? What have we learned and how has the world changed since that fateful day? I look back on this past year and reflect upon the senseless loss of life from mass shootings, the political turmoil and divisiveness, and the devastation as hurri

Intentional Eventing

Kai Davis

Conferences and events suck for the most part. You’re tired, in a strange spot, meeting new people every day, and the coffee tastes like crap. It’s easy to move through an event (conference, meet-up, event, intentional gathering of likeminded individuals, whatever) on autopilot. Here’s what I do to an intentional event experience, instead of a reactive experience.

Are You Overly Enamored?

Martinka Consulting

Some friends have a daughter in her early 30’s who has a decent but not high paying job, is attractive and outgoing, and still lives at home. When I stated the daughter needs a boyfriend the mom said, “Oh, I know, but she’s so fussy.” Maybe, and maybe mom’s rose-colored glasses are on. I would seem to me it’s hard to attract a good boyfriend when you’re still living at home.

Memories of memories

Seth Godin Blog

That’s most of what we’ve got. We don’t actually remember much of what happens. Instead, we get what we’ve rehearsed. If we fail to rehearse, the memory will fade. And if the memory isn’t serving us, we can work to stop rehearsing it. Choosing what we rehearse is a way of choosing who we will become.

Can I be friends with my employees?

Nash Consulting

The short answer? Yes, but with caution. The longer answer: Many leadership consultants will tell you, “Absolutely NOT! Do not be friends with the people you supervise.” We respectfully disagree. It can work, as long as you’re willing to walk some fine lines. One of the problems with a hard and fast rule about not being friends with people you supervise is what to do in a situation in which you were already friends with someone before you got promoted.
