    How to Make It as a Power Couple (Quick Study)

    How to Make It as a Power Couple (Quick Study) 9 Oct 2019 --- Three challenges every successful couple must overcome. Because their working lives and personal lives are deeply intertwined, dual-career couples face unique challenges. Three transition points typically occur during their working and love lives. During these transitions, some couples craft a way to thrive in love and work, while others are plagued by conflict and regret. By understanding each transition and knowing what questions to ask each other and what traps to avoid, dual-career couples can emerge stronger, fulfilled in their relationships and in their careers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.

    3 Questions to Answer in an Apology

    3 Questions to Answer in an Apology 22 Jul 2019 --- Trust is not as fragile as people think — it can be rebuilt. And that process starts with a good apology. A strong apology can make or break a company when it’s facing a reputational crisis, according to Sandra J. Sucher, a professor at Harvard Business School, and Shalene Gupta, a research associate at Harvard Business School. When crafting a public apology, companies should answer three questions. The first is "Do we tell the truth?" Doing so can instill confidence in your audience, and lets them know you know what went wrong. The second is "On whose behalf are we acting?" The people who were harmed should feel like their needs are being addressed. Finally, "How do our actions benefit those who trust us?" Leaders must convince people that the company can truly fix the problem. Trust is not as fragile as people think — it's not black and white. Research shows that it's nuanced and multi-dimensional, that it waxes and wanes. And with an effective apology (and a lot of work), it can be regained. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.

    How Salary Transparency Can Help You (and Your Workplace)

    How Salary Transparency Can Help You (and Your Workplace) 26 Oct 2023 --- How much money do you make? Did that question make you nervous? Uncomfortable? Or, maybe, excited? Historically speaking, talking about your salary (especially at work) was off limits. But things are changing — “salary transparency” is becoming the new norm, and for good reason. When people are aware of how much those around them make, everyone gets paid more fairly, which makes workplaces more equitable. But what does salary transparency actually look like in the workplace? How do you broach the subject with your coworkers, boss, friends, and even strangers? Ascend editor Kelsey Alpaio talks with David Burkus, an organizational psychologist, to learn more about the pros and cons of salary transparency, how it can play out at the company level, and how to make it work for you. She also speaks with Hannah Williams, a content creator who makes a living off of asking strangers how much money they make, and Carolyn Kopprasch, the Chief of Staff at Buffer, a company who is practicing “radical transparency” by listing all of their employees’ salaries online.

    The Explainer: Blue Ocean Strategy

    The Explainer: Blue Ocean Strategy 16 Jul 2019 --- When you break the bounds of existing industries, competition becomes irrelevant. The business universe consists of two distinct kinds of space, which we think of as red and blue oceans. Red oceans represent all the industries in existence today—the known market space. In red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are well understood. Here, companies try to outperform their rivals in order to grab a greater share of existing demand. As the space gets more and more crowded, prospects for profits and growth are reduced. Products turn into commodities, and increasing competition turns the water bloody. Blue oceans denote all the industries not in existence today—the unknown market space, untainted by competition. In blue oceans, demand is created rather than fought over. There is ample opportunity for growth that is both profitable and rapid. There are two ways to create blue oceans. In a few cases, companies can give rise to completely new industries, as eBay did with the online auction industry. But in most cases, a blue ocean is created from within a red ocean when a company alters the boundaries of an existing industry. This is what Cirque du Soleil did. In breaking through the boundary traditionally separating circus and theater, it made a new and profitable blue ocean from within the red ocean of the circus industry. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
