How DAU/MAU got popular. DAU/MAU has been a popular metric because of Facebook, which popularized the metric. As a result, as they began to talk about it, other consumer apps came to often be judged by the same KPIs.

When YOU give others feedback, it’s brilliant, caring, and helpful. When THEY give you feedback, it’s irrelevant, uncaring, and unhelpful. It’s interesting that your feedback is right, but their feedback is off base.

Did you know that the United States is the only developed nation that offers zero federally mandated paid parental leave? Forget for a moment that this is a critical time for both parents to bond with their child, paid parental leave is also in the best interests of your company. I just had a baby, and trust me when I tell you that there is no way new parents can perform at anywhere near their peak when they wake up every three hours to feed an infant the night before.

Sessions where people have been on their laptops or checking email on their phones and not paying attention to the proceedings. What about when 1 or 2 people dominate?

Too Much Corporate Training Is Wasted. Done right when you provide learning that sticks, training can be a great investment in career development and performance improvement. In fact, investments made by an organization to make their employees more successful consistently rate in the top ten in terms of employee engagement research.

Carlos Osorio/Getty Images. Young management consultants may be novices, but they’re sold as experts. Conversely, even experienced consultants, who legitimately present themselves as experts, still feel like novices when they embark on a new project. The challenge with effective consulting is that it depends on in-depth situational knowledge that consultants simply can’t have when they start an assignment.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
