This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. Warning: contains mentions of a suicide threat. A reader writes: I had an insane boss situation a few years ago that still lives rent free in my head and I’d love to see if there’s anything you think I could have done differently. While I don’t think I’ll ever be in a situation quite like this ever again (one can only hope), I probably spend more time than is healthy thinking about how I should approach it if I’m ever thrust i

This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. Over the course of my career, I’ve read probably tens of thousands of cover letters. (And yes, that’s as boring as it sounds.) What I’ve learned from doing that is that most job applicants’ cover letters are truly awful – and as a result, if you’re willing to put in the time to write a good one, you can stand out from your competition in a really effective way.

When startups are deciding where to locate, many consider setting up shop in “tech clusters” that have developed labor markets for the specialized staff that startups need to grow. Yet these areas are dense with talent for a reason: It’s often due to the presence of large firms with whom these fledgling companies must compete. In a new study, researchers found that when large firms increase their hiring, startups in the same location are forced to offer 10% higher salaries, while reducing their

Words have immense power, especially when they come from a leader. The language used by a leader can inspire, motivate, and build trust, shaping the culture of a team or organization. Great leaders understand the impact of their words and often use specific phrases that resonate deeply with those they lead. These phrases are more than just words—they are expressions of leadership values that drive engagement, foster collaboration, and empower others to excel.

As the job market evolves, companies are experimenting with various employment types to build more flexible staffing models. One reason for this is the cost of slow hiring. On average, it takes 41 days to fill a vacancy. However, top candidates are usually off the market in just 10 days. Blending different types of employment can help plug this gap by tapping into broader talent pools while also reducing costs, boosting agility, and nurturing future talent.

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.

Hosting an awards event honoring legislators can be a boon for an association’s lobbying goals and leadership. But advance planning is critical. Advocacy is a difficult job on a good day, and at the moment it might feel appreciably harder for many associations. There’s turnover in the White House, in Congress, and at the state level, and the level of disruption President-elect Donald Trump’s might deliver during a second term is uncertain.

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.

Take, for example, the interplay of seven tensions — including tension around relationship, outcome, process, timing, leverage tension, power, agent, and team — in this particular situation: One of my business partners, and I were approached by
