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.

    Why You’re Bad at Disagreeing (And How to Fix It)

    How do you engage in conflict at work without alienating those around you? In this episode of HBR IdeaCast, Harvard Kennedy School professor Julia Minson shares what her research has shown about how we typically disagree with coworkers and direct reports--and how we can do it better. She explains research about why words matter more than intentions, how the goal of changing someone else's mind is often unrealistic, and how to stop disagreements from escalating and upending your culture.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.

    You Need Tough Feedback—Here’s How to Get It | Christine vs. Work

    You Need Tough Feedback—Here’s How to Get It | Christine vs. Work 18 May 2021 --- 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮! ✨ https://www.youtube.com/c/HBRAscend ✨ I want to get constructive feedback and grow from it, without getting upset. Is that too much to ask. Feedback is a crucial element of your professional growth, so it pays to ask for it. Whether from a trusted colleague or manager, high-quality feedback highlights where you shine and where you can improve. However, sometimes the feedback we get isn’t tough enough. Blanket compliments like “Great job” or “You’re doing fine” aren’t particularly helpful. On the other hand, getting unexpected negative feedback can be painful. In this episode, Innovation Editor Christine Liu sets out to learn how to ask for and get quality feedback, how to react to feedback (good or bad), and how to grow from it. She turns to Octavia Goredema, career coach and founder of Twenty Ten Agency, for answers on how to manage professional feedback. 00:00 My feedback questions 02:00 How do I ask for feedback? 02:48 What's the right way to react to good feedback? 03:43 I got negative feedback. Help, please. 04:42 What if I disagree with the feedback? 05:23 All they said was, "Great job." 06:22 Practice time! 07:55 This is real 10:10 What do you think? We’d love to hear from you!

    The Explainer: Balancing Delivery and Adaptation

    The Explainer: Balancing Execution and Adaptation 18 Jun 2019 --- Most organizations only focus on execution or adaptation. But both are important for success. Research shows that most leaders and organizations tend to focus on just one type of performance. But there are two types that are important for success. The first type is known as tactical performance. Tactical performance is how effectively your organization sticks to its strategy. It is the driver of focus and consistency. It allows organizations to increase strength by directing limited resources to the fewest targets. The second type, known as adaptive performance, is how effectively your organization diverges from its strategy. Adaptive performance manifests as creativity, problem solving, grit, innovation, and citizenship. It allows organizations to create value in a world filled with, as the U.S. military says, volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, where technology and strategy changes rapidly. Organizations need to focus on both tactical and adaptive performance to succeed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. We enlist the foremost experts in a wide range of topics, including career planning, strategy, leadership, work-life balance, negotiations, innovation, and managing teams. Harvard Business Review empowers professionals around the world to lead themselves and their organizations more effectively and to make a positive impact.
