Technical degrees might open doors—but it’s the soft skills that keep them open. In the face of disruption, evolving workplace dynamics, and rising expectations of leadership, soft skills like communication, emotional intelligence, and presence have become core business essentials—not nice-to-haves. Inspired by stories from her father coupled with her own career journey, seasoned executive Chandra McCormack breaks down how to lead with impact, connect with purpose, and cultivate a workplace cult

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.

This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. I manage a manager who dislikes his new, qualified employee I run a small nonprofit. I’m less than six months into the position and have inherited some HR challenges. One of the directors I manage, Dave, is, frankly, a terrible manager.

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.

The details of how that happened and how long it took to remove her from her position could make up several letters, but I will leave out those details as it’s not what I’m writing about now.

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.

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

In this session, we’ll cut through the noise and help you focus on what matters.

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.

A NYTIME there’s a negotiation, tensions arise. Through my work as a negotiator for over 40 years, I’ve essentially determined seven distinct types of negotiation tension — and have learned to both recognize and manage them to open up a path to progress. 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
