This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. Today’s “ask the readers” is for my mom : let’s talk about times when someone righted someone’s else wrong (a favorite pastime of my mother).

Our experiences, upbringings, education, and so many other things shape how we think, act, and feel—all of which make us diverse.

After the big Covid-19 whipsaw, the most obvious forms of supply chain distress started to fade away. But the relative peace and quiet that executives are perceiving is actually ominous.

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.

Until the 1970s, corporate boards were dominated by inside directors — people employed by or affiliated with the company in some way. As of 2023, Spencer Stuart research found that 85% of directors are independent. The switch came in response to a number of trends, including the distrust of American institutions after Watergate and Vietnam, and SEC rule changes that increased the importance of independent directors.

The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best.
