Have you ever wondered why someone would be attracted to consulting as a profession? Prior to Accenture offering me a position, one of my interviewers asked me “what attracted you to consulting?”. This is a common question in consulting interviews, and it is one that usually throws people off. I often hear people say they spent countless hours practicing how to answer this question, and many went as far as asking friends and family members to test them on it.

Just because we're working with a distributed team doesn't mean we have to abandon time-tested tools and methods like whiteboarding. Digital look-alikes often cramp creativity and all but eliminate the humanity of shared interactions. Hardware solutions are also limiting and, of course, expensive and immobile. In an increasingly digital and remote-first world, it’s important for us to select tools and processes that allow us to mitigate if not eliminate the above problems.

In individual relationships, it’s easy to complain. The problem with complaining as a primary way of relating is that, often, there aren’t positive changes. In fact, when you complain about somebody else, the most common reaction you’ll get is a counter-complaint. This can spark a “complaint war.” Here’s why complaints don’t always work and sometimes backfire and make the situation worse.

In June 2021 at the annual G7 summit in Cornwall, major western powers committed themselves to the idea of a global minimum corporate tax. This shift is part of a longer-standing endeavour by the OECD to prevent international tax avoidance called the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ( BEPS ) initiative. The BEPS initiative has two main pillars. The first one seeks to implement a principle for taxation of corporate revenues based on location of sale rather than place of manufacturing.

Success teaches you virtually nothing. The real learning comes from the the micro and macro “failures” (I prefer the term feedback opportunities) that preceded the success. Success can be a curse.

Longer sales cycles, larger buying committees, increased price pressure, and smaller teams can quickly combine to reduce your margin for error and increase the urgency to find a solution. To thrive in a challenging environment, sales teams need a rock-solid grasp of the fundamentals and the biggest force-multipliers they can get their hands on.

However, if you have a reasonable context, you (or HR and you) can create a script you can use to make a layoff a respectful and relatively kind experience. With a congruent conversation, you might even be able to maintain a healthy collegial relationship with the person you have to lay off.

Any time we mess with people's money, status, or ability to work, we create emotions—for ourselves and the other person. As managers, when we offer a job or a promotion, those emotions tend to be happy. But layoffs? Those emotions are rarely happy—for anyone. If we try to bury those feelings, we might appear as if we don't care. If we think of ourselves, we become drama kings and queens.
