In our busy lives, it’s hard to find enough time to pause and reflect. But if we never make the time, we may just end up running fast in the wrong direction — and this is especially true when it comes to our careers. That’s why, once a quarter, it’s useful to run through this three-step exercise, or do a “career detox.” The first step involves turning inward and asking yourself a series of reflective questions focused on whether you’re still happy with your current path.

Pay-for-performance (PFP) is considered one of the strongest tools to motivate employees, yet despite its popularity, it can sometimes create stress for workers that results in decreased performance, creativity, and engagement. New research suggests that how employees view their supervisor has a role in determining whether workers view PFP as a motivating challenge, leading them to achieve new heights, or a stressful threat that impacts their work.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

As a leader, you have a ripple effect. Like throwing a rock into a pond, your actions create energetic waves that influence your organization’s outcomes. Whether positive or negative, the energy of those ripples spreads. Your people pick up and act on it one way or the other. If it’s positive, you can generally expect good outcomes. If it’s consistently or dramatically negative you can expect bad outcomes.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

No matter the industry, losing great talent is one of the toughest challenges for leaders and employees. Not only is there the question of trying to fill that person’s role, but the associated work of training and onboarding a new team member, plus the potential for disruption to the business and added work for those who remain. In some organizations, when departures are widespread, the challenges are naturally greater – and even harder to overcome.

How are you doing on your annual goals? One of the things I love about the 12 Week Year process I use, is that essentially you get 4 shots at your annual goals; by setting them quarterly, and taking time to reflect on them each quarter, you can course correct and hopefully hit them. For me, not everything went as I planned, but I have renewed energy heading into Q4, because I know I have one more 12-week year to hit my goals.
