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.

    How to Be Ready for a Layoff, Even if Your Job Feels Secure for Now | Christine vs. Work 10 Nov 2020 --- 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮! ✨ https://www.youtube.com/c/HBRAscend ✨ It never hurts to be prepared for the worst. Especially when it comes to losing your job. If you ever get laid off, as opposed to fired, it’s never your fault. Layoffs are financial decisions made by companies, and can happen at any time. The transition is never easy, but preparing responsibly, even if your job feels secure, can make this process less painful if and when it comes up. What are steps you can take today to prepare? We spoke to executive career transition coach Susan Peppercorn about how to prepare for a layoff. Her top four pieces of advice are essential bedrocks of individual career management: keep track of your accomplishments, nurture your network, back up important information, and be on top of your savings (give yourself a financial runway). You want these to become everyday habits for the long term.

    How Apple Is Organized for Innovation: The Leadership Model

    How Apple Is Organized for Innovation: The Leadership Model 27 Jan 2021 --- Apple leaders need deep expertise, immersion in details, and collaborative debate. (Part 2 of 3) This is part 2 of 3 Part 1--The Functional Organization: https://youtu.be/5hENFA3CJUY Part 3--Leadership at Scale: https://youtu.be/hczW4Bqf3Qk Ever since Steve Jobs implemented the functional organization, Apple’s managers at every level, from senior vice president on down, have been expected to possess three key leadership characteristics: deep expertise that allows them to meaningfully engage in all the work being done within their individual functions; immersion in the details of those functions; and a willingness to collaboratively debate other functions during collective decision-making. When managers have these attributes, decisions are made in a coordinated fashion by the people most qualified to make them.
