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. We try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We encourage comments, critiques, and questions. We expect our community to be a safe space for respectful, constructive, and thought-provoking discussion. We reserve the right to remove or turn off comments at our discretion. We do not tolerate bullying, name-calling, or abusive language related to identity, including race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, age, or region; spam; copyright violation; extreme profanity; or p*rnography.

    How to Design a Workspace at Home | Christine Against the Office

    How to Design a Workspace at Home | Christine vs Work 30 Nov 2023 --- No matter where you work these days—in an office, at home, or wedged in wherever spot you can find—are there ways to design your space for the better? 00:00 WFH is here to stay 01:00 Meet Elyse Ayoung 02:11 Does this serve a purpose? 03:31 Throw out expectations 04:31 Don't shop, shift! 04:57 Office transformation! 05:30 Rethink the future of offices Many of us long to create a personal environment that’s conducive to getting our work done well (and comfortably so). But how should we think about what goes into an “optimal” work space? What are simple yet effective design principles that help us prioritize what needs to change? And how could this impact our workspaces (including home and traditional offices) in the future? I sought answers from Elyse Ayoung—an Associate Designer at architecture firm Gensler and Co-Founder of the MiD Collective, a professional network for BIPOC Interior Designers in Boston and beyond. If you’re feeling inspired to change up your workspace but unsure where to start, Elyse suggests prioritizing “purposeful” design choices (however you choose to define it), being honest about where and how you do your best work (that “desk job” may not require a desk anymore), and giving yourself permission to test new arrangements (no change needs to be permanent, so why not try it out?).

    How to Write a Cover Letter That Sounds Like YOU (and Gets Noticed) 14 Dec 2023 --- I hate cover letters. They add so much stress to the already uncomfortable and grueling job hunt.
