  What Difficult Emotions Are Trying to Tell You | Christine vs. the Workplace 18.09.2026 9мин

  What Difficult Emotions Are Trying to Tell You | Christine vs. Work 1 May 2020 --- 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮! ✨ https://www.youtube.com/c/HBRAscend ✨ Emotions are running raw during the pandemic. How should we manage our difficult feelings, especially at work? Weeks of social distancing have fueled a collective emotional rollercoaster of anxiety, stress, frustration, and fear. How can we better manage our emotions as individuals? How emotionally vulnerable can—or should—we be at work? Especially during this crisis, resilient and compassionate emotional intelligence with our colleagues is more essential than ever. Susan David, a Harvard Medical School psychologist and author of “Emotional Agility”, offers a helpful approach on how to manage difficult emotions—in life and at work—during this challenging time. Tips for managing difficult emotions: 1. Permit yourself to experience the emotion—it’s a normal response. Openly recognize what you’re feeling, practice “gentle acceptance” that it’s happening, and then respond to that emotion with an open attitude. Let go of what you cannot control. 2. Extend compassion to yourself and to others. Be patient and try to understand the full reality of the situation. Be kind, loving, and courageous. 3. Recognize that difficult emotions are clear signposts to your beliefs and values. Interpret your feelings, even if it’s uncomfortable, to pinpoint what’s most important for you at this time. Learn more about Susan David: http://susandavid.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

  Your Career Path Doesn't Have to Be a Straight Line 18.09.2026 9мин

  Your Career Path Doesn't Have to Be a Straight Line 2 May 2022 --- You may think of your career as a ladder–you can go up, or down–but a better analogy might be a rock climbing wall, where going sideways, or even backwards, can be how you find your unique route to the top. KeyAnna Schmiedl, global head of culture and inclusion at Wayfair, explains what real-life rock climbing taught her about defining career advancement for herself. 00:00 “When I say career development, what do you think?” 00:30 It can’t just be that there is one path for everyone. 01:23 Rock walls are scary: How do I start climbing? 02:30 What if you don’t know your strengths? 03:35 Going backwards or sideways is okay. 05:05 There is no one “correct” path. 05:47 Here’s an alternate model of success. 06:24 You can actually define what success means to you.

  If Your Team Never Fails, It Isn’t Learning 18.09.2026 8мин

  For leaders, building a high-performing team may require embracing something counterintuitive: failure. Ron Friedman, psychologist and author of "Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams," argues that the best teams learn faster by treating experimentation, feedback, and innovation as core team habits. Drawing on surveys of thousands of workers, he challenges leaders to let go of perfectionism and adopt a "progress mentality," where intelligent risk-taking is rewarded. For ambitious teams, the lesson is clear: if nothing ever fails, you're not pushing hard enough, and you're probably falling behind.For more, check out Friedman's book: https://www.amazon.com/Superteams-Science-Secrets-High-Performing-Teams/dp/198218633X0:00 The three key strengths of superteams.1:47 Superteams conduct more experiments.2:52 Superteams give and receive more feedback.3:59 Superteams reward innovation (and failure).Books, tools, and more: store.hbr.orgFollow us:https://hbr.org/https://www.linkedin.com/company/harvard-business-review/https://www.facebook.com/HBR/https://twitter.com/HarvardBizhttps://www.instagram.com/harvard_business_reviewSign up for Newsletters: https://hbr.org/email-newsletters#HarvardBusinessReview #YourCareer #Career #Job #Work #Business #Harvard #HarvardBusinessSchool Copyright © 2026 Harvard Business School Publishing.

  How Footwear Startup Allbirds is Decarbonizing Apparel | Cold Call 18.09.2026 38мин

  How Footwear Startup Allbirds is Decarbonizing Fashion | Cold Call 23 Aug 2023 --- In 2021, the footwear startup Allbirds was extending its product range into apparel and expanding beyond its online store to open more retail stores around the world. It was also freely sharing its know-how and material innovations with its competitors to try to scale its efforts to decarbonize fashion, by substituting natural materials for conventional petroleum-based materials and leather. But the company also had to find ways to remain differentiated, based on design and comfort. Harvard Business School professor Mike Toffel and Allbirds co-founder and co-CEO Joey Zwillinger discuss the growing environmental impact of the fashion industry and how the company managed the tension between advancing its environmental mission and staying ahead of competitors in the case, Allbirds: Decarbonizing Fashion.

  Executing a Consumer Fintech Startup within Goldman Sachs | Cold Call 17.09.2026 31мин

  Running a Consumer Fintech Startup within Goldman Sachs | Cold Call 5 Jul 2023 --- Marcus by Goldman Sachs marked a dramatic shift for the 150-year-old financial institution, which historically had served only businesses and the wealthiest people. The fintech startup operated within Goldman Sachs, offering unsecured personal loans for the mass market, high-yield deposits, and a credit card in partnership with Apple.

  Social Media Has Made Us Narcissists — But There Is a Cure 23 Apr 2023 --- Here's a quick self-assessment to find out whether your ego is detached from real achievement. 00:00 Here are some questions typically used in research to evaluate non-clinical narcissism. 01:31 What is narcissism? 02:00 Why does it seem like there are so many narcissists today? 02:50 Is this why it seems like everyone wants to be famous? 03:45 We’ve seen the “Kardashian-ization” of success. 04:53 What can I do to counter the effects of digital narcissism? 05:55 It’s hard to get better at anything if you believe your own self-hype. Business psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic says there’s been an alarming rise in the percentage of young adults who expect to become famous, and they’re mostly headed for disappointment. Luckily, there is a fairly straightforward way to battle narcissism. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is the Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup, a professor of business psychology at University College London and at Columbia University, co-founder of deepersignals.com, and an associate at Harvard’s Entrepreneurial Finance Lab.

  What to Do If You're Undervalued at Work | Christine Confronts Work 17.09.2026 13мин

  What to Do If You're Undervalued at Work | Christine vs Work 10 Nov 2023 --- You work hard, you do your job well, but no one seems to notice or give you credit. Here’s what to do. Whether you’re looking for a raise, better feedback from your manager, or greater visibility within your company, what can you do to be recognized? It can feel especially challenging if you’re more junior than your colleagues, your ideas are routinely dismissed or mistakenly credited to others, or your direct contributions aren’t easy to show off. Despite your best efforts, what can you do to get the recognition you deserve? I sought answers from Andréa Long—head of Talent Engagement at Upstart, serial entrepreneur, consultant, and workshop facilitator. If you’re feeling undervalued at work, Andréa suggests clarifying how you’d like your contributions to be recognized, having ongoing constructive conversations with your manager, applying tactics to gain visibility and credibility, and being honest when you’ve exhausted your options and it’s time to move on to another job opportunity. This video was originally published on HBR's Ascend YouTube Channel in August 2022. 00:00 Have you felt this? 00:26 Meet Andréa Long 01:18 Figure out what you want 02:11 Talk to your manager 04:09 You aren't getting credit 06:08 Advocating for yourself is tough 06:54 You feel totally invisible 08:19 Know when to quit Learn more about Andréa Long’s work: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrealong/ http://firewoodevents.com https://www.swagbyasayo.com Produced by Andy Robinson, Christine Liu, Kelsey Alpaio Video and Editing by Andy Robinson Animation and Design by Alex Belser and Karen Player Subscribe to our newsletter: https://hbr.org/email-newsletters?movetile_hbpascendnl&hideIntromercial=true #CareerDevelopment #Recognition #ManagingUp Learn more about your ad choices.

  Larry Fink at BlackRock: Bridging Purpose and Profit | Cold Call 17.09.2026 36мин

  Larry Fink at BlackRock: Linking Purpose to Profit | Cold Call 3 Aug 2023 --- In 2014, Larry Fink started writing letters to the leaders of some of the largest publicly listed companies, urging them to consider the importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Fink is the chairman and CEO of BlackRock, one of the largest asset management houses in the world. The firm’s success was rooted in its cost-effective, passive investment products that rely on tracking indices and funds. But Fink wanted his firm to engage with the companies in which they invest and hold them accountable for their social and environmental impacts. What role should investors play in urging business leaders to take ESG issues more seriously and enforcing compliance? Harvard Business School professor George Serafeim discusses the merits of Fink’s approach, the importance of corporate investments in ESG themes, and how to lead a company driven by purpose and profit in his case, “BlackRock: Linking Purpose to Profit,” (https://store.hbr.org/product/blackrock-linking-purpose-to-profit/120042?sku=120042-PDF-ENG) and his new book Purpose and Profit: How Business Can Lift Up The World (https://www.amazon.com/Purpose-Profit-Business-Lift-World-ebook/dp/B09831184F).

  The Case Against Letting Employees Pick WFH Days 17.09.2026 8мин

  The Case Against Letting Employees Pick WFH Days 13 Sep 2021 --- While some managers may be inclined to let employees choose their own schedule, Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom strongly recommends against this for two very important reasons. 00:00 I used to say, "Let employees pick their WFH days." Not any more. 00:33 The first problem: “Mixed mode” leads to anxiety and exclusion 01:21 Problem two: Disparities create long-term diversity problems 02:35 That leaves us with two options: team-based or centralized choice 02:52 Pros and cons of team-based choice 03:48 Employees must WFH on WFH days to avoid “the great unraveling” 04:09 Yes, my original article on this topic made lots of people upset! 04:50 Let’s do the reverse of “move fast and break things” First is the challenge in managing a hybrid team, which can generate an office in-group and a home out-group. The second concern is the risk to diversity. Current surveys show that younger women with children at home are most likely to want to work from home permanently. Previous research found that WFH employees had a 50% lower rate of promotion after 21 months compared to their office colleagues. The best solution is for managers to decide which days their team should WFH and which days everyone should be in the office. Read more: https://hbr.org/2021/05/dont-let-employees-pick-their-wfh-days Bloom and his research partners spoke to hundreds of managers across different industries, from tiny companies to massive multinationals like Google, Citi, and HSBC.

  How to Stop Promoting Mediocre Men (Quick Study) 17.09.2026 5мин

  How to Stop Promoting Incompetent Men (Quick Study) 12 Mar 2020 --- Are there fewer women in management because we can’t discern between confidence and competence? The popular explanations range from women just aren’t capable of being leaders to women just don’t want to be leaders. According to author Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic however, the absence of women in leadership roles has less to do with women themselves and more to do with how we interpret leadership traits. Confidence – a trait more associated with men – is often misinterpreted as competence. As a result, charismatic, but incompetent men have fewer barriers to reach the top than women. Individuals in positions to promote and hire managers should think more critically about what seems like a leadership trait versus what is an actual leadership trait. They will find that arrogance and overconfidence – the characteristics that get men into management positions – are also the characteristics that cause poor performance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
