To be a loser requires that someone else was a loser. When you are that loser, here are some ideas to make you a smart loser: 1. Don’t get mad at the winner.

You’ve probably heard the philosophical question, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” That same concept applies to communication. If you share a message with an audience and it doesn’t make sense to them or they aren’t able to connect with it, did they really hear what you had to say? Where Effective Communication Begins.

As a marketer in the digital age, I am fortunate to have many tools at my disposal that make my job easier. Unfortunately, however, I still have no way to read minds (and that would be quite creepy, anyway) – but one could see how individual “brain-level” insights could have a stunningly positive impact on campaigns, revenues, and overall success. That’s because the Holy Grail for marketers is to understand not just the “who” is likely to buy, but the “why” behind the purchase.

A theme in my practice is helping clients deal with and learn from fraught situations in contentious relationships, and one of the most important lessons is: Don't take the bait. And what makes these interactions so fraught and contentious is the inevitable presence of bait--something that tempts us to engage but conceals a very tricky hook. Most bait is unintentional, arising merely because people are often sloppy and careless communicators: The irrelevant issue that sidetracks the conversation

Defense mechanisms—the unconscious reactions that protect us from anxiety and internal conflict—are a part of being human. We all have them. And while they frequently do harm, in some situations they can actually be useful. What matters, in life and in leadership, is what we do about them.

Despite the fact that people do not acknowledge a preference for hierarchy, such a preference can be inferred from behavioral patterns. The strongest piece of evidence is simply the regularity with which this form of organization is produced. When scholars attempt to find an organization that is not characterized by hierarchy, they cannot. In sum, the production of hierarchy is a central and omnipresent component of organizing.

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.
