  U.S. Politics Are Dysfunctional: Here's How Industry Competition Theory Can Help Repair the System 20.09.2026 8min

  U.S. Politics Are Broken: Here's How Industry Competition Theory Can Help Fix the System 25 Oct 2024 --- Unhealthy competition is at the root of political dysfunction. Applying a famous business framework can help identify the best ways to fix it. (This video was originally published in 2020.) Although people tend to think of the American political system as a public institution based on high-minded principles, it’s not. Politics behaves according to the same kinds of incentives and forces that shape competition in any private industry. Our elections and our legislative systems are drowning in unhealthy competition: The political-industrial complex wins, and the public interest loses. Business, in pursuing its short-term interests, has become a major participant in the politics industry, exacerbating its dysfunction. We can have healthy competition in politics—results, innovation, and accountability—by redesigning how we vote to connect acting in the public interest with getting reelected. Katherine Gehl's application of Michael Porter’s Five Forces framework illuminates the root causes of political dysfunction and points to the most powerful levers for transformation.

  How to Speak up in Meetings (and When to Hold Back) 4 Jan 2022 --- Speaking up is one of the single-most effective ways to increase visibility and build trust with your clients and colleagues. 00:00 Speaking up in meetings can be more important than presentations or speeches 00:30 Tip 1: Prepare a few points in advance 00:44 Tip 2: Ask, "Why you?" 01:08 Tip 3: Pause and breathe to build confidence 01:30 Sometimes it's best to hold back 01:47 Hold back if you're only trying to show off 02:00 Hold back if you're trying to empower others on your team 02:15 Hold back if your comment would be better shared in private In many organizations, our leadership readiness is measured in part by our willingness to speak up in a meeting.

  How to Forge Your Mental Strength 20.09.2026 6min

  How to Build Your Mental Strength 12 Aug 2020 --- First, realize there’s a difference between acting tough and actually being mentally strong. Developing mental strength takes practice, and involves overcoming our natural anxieties so we can handle difficult situations. Amy Morin, author of “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do”, says it’s not about making sure you never fail, but telling yourself that you are strong enough to deal with failure when it inevitably happens. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work.
