    During Covid-19 Crisis, Leaders Must Resist Urge to Push Too Hard, Too Fast

    During Covid-19 Crisis, Leaders Must Resist Urge to Push Too Hard, Too Fast 14 Apr 2020 --- Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi CEO, Dr. Rakesh Suri, says the first step in leading his team was to slow down, take a deep breath, and align his team with a shared vision for action. The UAE – of which Abu Dhabi is the capital – was the first country in the Middle East to report a case of the virus in January. As of April 14, the UAE had reported 4,521 cases and 25 deaths. Though the situation is fast-evolving, Abu Dhabi has brought together a range of private and public healthcare facilities to test the population and treat the sick. Dr. Suri has led Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s response, at one point leading remotely from quarantine. He says that now more than ever, leaders must not neglect self-care, know when to delegate, and identify nascent leaders on their teams.

    What to Do If You're Undervalued at Work | Christine vs Work

    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.

    We’re All Anxious Right Now: Here’s How to Cope

    We’re All Anxious Right Now: Here’s How to Cope 30 Mar 2020 --- Acting on emotion leads to bad decisions, so you need to slow down. Here’s how. With the news around the COVID-19 pandemic developing quickly, people are making decisions — often quickly — on everything from whether to cancel meetings to how to best project their family and colleagues. In a time of crisis and uncertainty, there are several psychological factors that impact our ability to make decisions. Our brains are responding to a sense of threat, a deep feeling of uncertainty, and a lack of control and information, all of which leads us to make short-sighted decisions that may fill immediate psychological needs but aren’t necessary in the long term. To make better choices, we need to slow down and access the deliberative reasoning part of our brain. Any decision to act should be based on deliberation, sober reflection on data, and discussion with experts — not in reaction to a headline or a tweet. Based on the following HBR articles: "Managing the Stress and Uncertainty of Coronavirus" by Morra Aarons-Mele https://hbr.org/podcast/2020/03/managing-the-stress-and-uncertainty-of-coronavirus "Slow Down to Make Better Decisions in a Crisis by Art" Markman https://hbr.org/2020/03/slow-down-to-make-better-decisions-in-a-crisis "A Simple Way to Stay Grounded in Stressful Moments" by Leah Weiss https://hbr.org/2016/11/a-simple-way-to-stay-grounded-in-stressful-moments --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
