Often times, the targeted, personal and kind-hearted business advice from their fathers has provided that extra jolt of motivation they need to keep going.pullquoteI have been taught that hard times are survivable because at the end of the day everything is survivable./pullquoteIn honor of Fathers Day, we asked successful women to share the fatherly wisdom thats helped shape them- elend only as people, but as business leaders.

I train. I remember the advice of my father.- Erika Boissiere, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Founder of The Relationship Institute of San FranciscoIf bedrngnis now, when?When I first moved to New York City from Virginia in 2006, a wide-eyed recent college grad, I didnt have a job, had little to no savings and told my family Trust me. Ill figure it out. While understandably there was some tentativeness from family members, Ill never forget my dad saying Go. Do it now. If not now, when? from the very beginning.His advice to go for it, to never stay complacent, represents a rebellious nature Ive always had in me, thats largely been inspired by my father. As a young Japanese-American growing up in Tokyo on an American military base, he rebelled early on. As the family legends tell it, skipping class in kindergarten to ride solo into the city to discover what Tokyo had in store, to rebelling agains t racism in 1970s Virginia when his family moved there and he grappled with his identify as other in a school where the only other Asian American student was his brother. That same supportive advice he gave me when I moved to New York City became even more palpable when I took the biggest step of my career, taking the leap to go full time as a co-founder of Shine. He said to me, Go. Do it now. If not now, when? Im so glad I did. Thanks, Dad.- Naomi Hirabayashi, co-founder of ShineNothing is ever handed to you.Im forever grateful for all of the advice my dad (and father of 5) shares with me and my siblings but the insight thats always resonating with me most is that nothing is ever handed to you.Whatever struggles or oppression any of us faces, it can be tempting to point to our circumstance as to why we dont have that job, the money, that apartment, the praise of our peers, etc. While circumstance is not to be taken lightly and is a very real part of our identity- our resilience an d our ability to improve our situations is what makes us successful. If want big things to happen in our lives, we have to make the happen- despite everything and everyone that may try to make it harder for us. He is stronger for the things hes faced in his life and I am stronger for mine. Thats something that will always motivate and stay with me.- Marah Lidey, co-founder of ShinepullquoteMy dad always reminds me to do what I love and the money will follow./pullquoteWork hard and trust yourself.People say I am successful because I am my fathers daughter. The best advice he ever gave me was to work hard and to trust yourself, you can do it. This was so impactful to me because for the during Ever-Prettys early years, I ate, slept and breathed Ever-Pretty. I use sleep lightly here, because even when I slept, I dreamed about the company. If I hadnt worked so hard I would never be where I am today. His advice to trust myself really got me through the hard times. Because of his advice, I really did believe that I could and would do it even it if it was hard at the time. Whenever I was down, his advice would help me believe I could get back up.- Anna Shi, CEO, president and founder of Ever-PrettyDeliver beyond your expectations.It will not only gain you loyalty but gain trust with your clients. This advice rings true to most peoples career choice but mine specifically as an event planning/production business. There are so many details, and I always try to have at least one surprise element the client wasnt expecting. It could be a simple decor piece or a food choice to let them know I was listening and also understand their vision. It is impactful advice because in a world of options and endless Google searches, it comes down to delivery to obtain and retain clients. - Sarah Sebastian, Owner of Rose Gold CollectiveDo what you love.My dad always reminds me to do what I love and the money will follow. He has taught me by example that finding your passion and turning it into your career will make you successful and leads to a much more fulfilled life. I am fortunate that I have truly found my calling in entrepreneurship. - Alice Rossiter, Founder of Alices TableAlways keep your word.The best advice my dad gave me goes for life and business. He told me to always be honest and keep my word to people. It may be the littlest thing as promising a resume (or another product) in a week and delivering it on time, but this matters to clients and customers. Admittedly, this can be difficult in the business world. But, my dads advice has really served me well, and I always try my best to follow it.- Neely Raffellini, Founder, 9 to 5 ProjectpullquoteMy dads response made me realize how much faith he had in me, and bolstered my faith in myself. /pullquoteKeep looking ahead.Some of the best career advice my Dad has given me is to keep moving forward with my dreams even when things are hard. Starting a business is definitely not for the faint of heart and my d ad has always encouraged me to focus on the progress Ive made and to keep looking ahead. Just like life, there will be ups and downs and my Dads support has always helped keep me on track. While simple, having this advice has always helped bring things back into perspective and moving forward. - Anna Osgoodby, co-founder of Bold PopStudy what youre interested in.Back in college, I remember not knowing what to major in and turning to my dad for help. His response surprised me. He told me that I wasnt someone he thought had to go to college to be successful afterwards, that I should major in something I enjoy learning about, because regardless of whether or not I would use that after college, it would give me a wealth of knowledge that was important to me. My dads response made me realize how much faith he had in me, and bolstered my faith in myself. It made me view college as an experience, not something I needed to be successful. I ended up majoring in Environmental Studies and Geo graphy and Urban Studies. Now as a fashion designer, Im in a completely different field, as he suspected, but I apply the education I got by focusing on sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing. Ive never forgotten that advice, and so far it has served me well. Thanks for believing in me, Dad, and teaching me to believe in myself - Avi Loren Fox, founder and CEO of WildMantle.compullquoteTo have a goal and to believe wholeheartedly that it is possible, even when the evidence may show it is not./pullquoteKeep learning.My dad always encouraged me to pursue a good education he set high standards for me and emphasized how a good education would enable me to pursue my dreams. His story really motivated me because he was a professor in China who moved to the U.S. for grad school and eventually became a successful entrepreneur. He is constantly learning himself and is still mastering new things all the time, he recently picked up acting and is starring in a feature film that will be released this summer I am so inspired by his zest for learning throughout life. - Coral Chung, Founder and CEO of SenreveTo not follow his advice.The best business advice I ever got from my dad was to never work for myself. He hated the financial fluctuations in the family business he inherited from his father and grandfather. And for a long time, I followed his advice, but after too many years as a mediocre sales rep with similar financial fluctuations, I realized Id rather control my own choices and clients. When I launched my first business in 2005, he could not have been more proud, and now with The Rising Tides, he can see the real impact my work makes on women in the workplace. I think because of his advice, I approached each venture realistically and deliberately, and still seek lots of eintrag from others. - Eileen Scully, Founder, The Rising TidesMake a goal and believe in it wholeheartedly.I founded quarterlane a year ago and over the course of the these many months, I fi nd myself returning to my dads advice daily to have a goal and to believe wholeheartedly that it is possible, even when the evidence may show it is not.The first time I found myself putting this advice into practice was my senior year in high school. I had applied early decision to the college of my dreams and was waitlisted. My chances to go were much better during the early decision round, and so my first reaction was to give up. Yet my dad reminded me to keep my dream in sight and get to work. I felt confident in my writing, so I sent this college every single writing assignment I did for my English class that spring. I would just pop the paper in the mail with a little note. And it worked I was accepted Many other times I have returned to this advice to put practice behind faith, especially now with quarterlane. Creating something new is a leap of faith - that is simply what it is And once you leap, its the 100% faith, commitment and then the little right actions toward the goa l that make all the difference. - Elizabeth Lane, Founder of quarterlaneDo not quit.At 63, I challenged my dad to run a half-marathon with our whole family of non-runners. He had never run more than a mile in his life, but signed up. He ran through knee injuries, below zero temperatures and the muddy dirt roads of Maine in the Spring. Then on race day, he ran, despite his pain, every step of the way. My dad doesnt quit. He keeps going regardless of any obstacle and, he taught me and my two sisters to do the same. He doesnt talk about it he just does it. He has Libbygrit the intangible inner willpower to persevere. He never told us what to do, he developed in us the willpower to figure it out and he let us test our mettle endlessly with the same challenges he gave our brothers. As an entrepreneur nothing has helped me get through tough situations better than the knowledge that Im made from Libby grit, that Im raised with Libby grit, that I have been taught that hard times are surviv able because at the end of the day everything is survivable. - Kristina Libby, CEO of SoCu

The Real Reason You Shouldnt Put Your Address on Your Resume

The Real Reason You Shouldnt Put Your Address on Your ResumeThe Real Reason You Shouldnt Put Your Address on Your ResumeThe Real Reason You Shouldnt Put Your Address on Your ResumeIf youre going to rely on the standard templates used for writing a professional resume, youd see that a home address should be written at the top. However, have you ever thought that it could be one of the reasons why youre having a hard time landing the job that youve always wanted? Believe it or not, your address could possibly have an impact on whether youre going to get hired or not.And heres why you shouldnt put your address on your resumeIt Reveals Your Commute TimeObviously, an employer would take into consideration the commute time of the employee theyre going to hire.Employers and recruiters want to avoid the trouble of hiring an employee who lives far away from work, because this doesnt only cause stress to the employee, but to his employer as well in a sense that hed be less productive at work. Likewise, it also increases the chances of an employee quitting the job. This can be a two-edged sword not only will you be losing a job, but this also gives the company a bad image because they have to fire you and look for a replacement. This results in more work, and a waste of time and money for them.Furthermore, if the job youre eying on is in a different city, its also ideal that you imply on your CV that you wouldnt mind commuting long distances if you have to. It would be better if youd state that if youre going to get hired, youd also be willing to relocate if needed. This would increase the chances of getting hired, as youre clearly indicating to your employer that youre really serious and want to get the position.You Could Be a Victim of Identity TheftAlthough this doesnt happen very often, there are cases that you can put yourself in a position of getting your credentials stolen just because you have indicated your home address in your CV.There are fake recruitment agenc ies that post job openings as a way to gain information about candidates, and if you become a victim of them, then youd be in trouble. So, its always safe to just omit your address in your resume instead.Is There a Right Time to Put Your Address on a Resume?If you really feel that you have to put your address on a resume, make sure that its near, or even in the same city where the office is located.This would give the recruiters or the employer enough information to know that youre a local and that you wont have a hard time going to and from your work place.Final WordsAlthough it has been customary to include an address on a resume, it would be better to not include this at all. Dont worry, this wont send off alarm bells for most employers, but could even have a positive result.Just keep in mind that most employers are more interested in knowing your skills than where you live. As long as youre going to be fully committed in your future job, where you live or where your address is w ont never be an issue to them.

Difference Between Hard News and Features in Magazines

Difference Between Hard News and Features in MagazinesDifference Between Hard News and Features in Magazinesfruchtwein of us dont give a lot of thought to the technical definition of what were reading when we open a nachrichtenpaper or other print publication or access one online. In fact, not all news stories are created equal. If youre considering a career in journalism, your success can hinge on knowing the difference between a straight news piece and a feature. Features Are Defined by Length and Style A feature is typically longer than a standard news story. Its written in a different writing style, typically with more detail and hintergrund based on more extensive research than would be required to simply report a news event. Features can vary widely- you might write a news feature, an arts feature or a human interest feature. Although the term implies softer news, a feature is often defined by its length and style, not necessarily its subject matter.The style component is i mportant. Features humanize events and issues rather than make a recitation of facts. Why should your readers care about theevent youre writing about? Explain why they might. You might address this question in your opening paragraph or paragraphs, hooking your readers, then move on to more of the nuts and bolts of your topic. Think of it like the difference between Dragnet and telling a friend a story over coffee. A news report might be Just the facts, maam. Your feature will be friendlier, though not at the risk of solid facts and research. Features in Magazines Features often appear in magazines, although they also appear in newspapers and on websites. Readers tend to prefer them over straight-line hard news reports. Youll usually find a magazines features toward themiddle section of a magazine. This section is known as the feature well. How to Write a Feature Writing a featurebegins with two important factors your topic and how much space you can devote to ityour assigned word count. You must work within this parameter, which means you cant stray off topic. You should, however, go into as much depth as possible. This usually includes conducting interviews and gathering background information. For example, a news report might read Witnesses report that the pipe burst at 132 p.m.While a feature mightread Joe Smith said he saw the pipe burstfrom his kitchen window just as he was cleaning up from lunch, at 132 p.m. Water shot 10 feet high and drenched everyone in sight, Smith said. Features typically includeexpert opinions.Why did the pipe burst? You might get statements from a knowledgeable pipefitter explaining likely problems the pipe may have had. Did any passersby sustain injuries? A news report would most likely give a yes or no answer to that, and, if so, cite the number of injured bystanders. A feature would delve into whether the city or municipality that was responsible for maintaining the pipe might be liable for those injuries. It could incl ude a statement from someone in authority at the city or municipality regarding the incident and whether that person believes any negligence might have occurred. The idea behind a feature is to go one step further Youre not just telling your reader what happened. Youre explaining why its important, who is affected and presenting the big picture.

Languages to Become a Data Science Master

Languages to Become a Data Science Master Languages to Become a Data Science Master Job opportunities for data scientists are expected to nearly triple during the decade ending in 2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. As computer technology allows businesses to collect larger volumes of data more quickly, the greater the demand will be for scientists who can find useful information in that data. To be successful, data scientists need to be proficient in the types of programming languages used to work with data and develop programs to track and analyze data. What Data Scientists Do Data scientists develop algorithms to identify patterns in large amounts of data. They then are able to analyze those patterns. Data that needs to be analyzed can originate from anywhere. Websites collect data, for example, about when people visit and from where, and high-traffic sites easily can have millions of data points. Data does not have to originate from websites. It also can come from research that has been conducted over generations. For example, data from different types of medical research can be vast and needs to be analyzed. Data scientists develop software or use software developed by others to help with the process of analyzing datasets. They also seek ways to present their findings to others in visually appealing or easy-to-understand ways. Programming Languages Data scientists use computers and computer software because of the large volumes of data they are dealing with. To be effective at the job, it is important to be proficient in at least one relevant programming language and probably more than one, depending on specific needs. SQL is a good place to start because it is so common, but there are several other programming languages worth learning. If you really want to boost your marketability as a data scientist, learn as many relevant programming languages as possible. These are some of the most popular programming languages that are useful for data scientists. SQL: SQL, which stands for “structured query language,” focuses on handling information in relational databases. It is the most widely used database language and is open source, so aspiring data scientists definitely shouldn’t skip it. Learning SQL should equip you to create SQL databases, manage the data within them, and use relevant functions. Udemy offers a training course that covers all the basics and can be completed fairly quickly and painlessly.R: R is a statistics-oriented language popular among data miners and not overly difficult to learn. If you want to learn how to develop statistical software, R is a good language to know. It also allows you to manipulate and graphically display data. As part of its Data Science Specialization program, Coursera offers a class on R that teaches you how to program in the language and apply it in the context of data science/analysis. SAS: Like R, SAS is used primarily for statistical analysis. It’s a powerful tool for transforming information from databases and spreadsheets into readable formats like HTML and PDF documents or visual tables and graphs. Originally developed by academic researchers, it has become one of the most popular analytics tools worldwide for companies and organizations of all kinds. The language is not open-source, so you likely will not be able to teach yourself for free.Python: One of Pythons main perks is its wide variety of libraries (Pandas, NumPy, SciPi, etc.) and statistical functions. Since Python, like R, is an open-source language, updates are added quickly. Another factor to consider is that Python is perhaps the easiest to learn, due to its simplicity and the wide availability of courses and resources on it. The LearnPython website is a great place to start.   MATLAB: This option was developed by MathWorks and is designed to handle the types of calculations professionals in mathematics might need. It is a popular option in academia.Julia: Marketed as a high-performance option, Julia is good for analyzing large volumes of data rapidly. One of its features is the ability to perform online computations on streaming data. Julia is an open-source option.TensorFlow: TensorFlow is a well-known commercial option because it is used to help run many of Googles functions, including its search engine and databases for programs like Google Photos. Scala: Scala is a popular option that handles large datasets and works well with Java.

Myths about the causes of hair loss and how to actually prevent it

Myths about the causes of hair loss and how to actually prevent it Myths about the causes of hair loss and how to actually prevent it According to the American Hair Loss Association, 66% of men will experience some degree of hair loss by the age of 35, though it happens on some level every day, to everyone. Genetically some men simply have fewer strands to replace fallen ones than other men do. The average healthy person’s hair grows about 0.5 inches every month, though this speed varies by age, genetics, and diet.The most frequently cited hair loss mythsHair loss is one of those unavoidable indicators of aging that inspires a general terror in us- so much so that a lot of false predictors have been contributed to the process.  For a while, people thought excessively shampooing your hair increased your risk for losing your hair. This was due to the fact that the process of washing your hair causes dead strands to fall from the scalp and onto your shower floor. Philip Kingsley reports, “It is natural to lose up to 100 hairs a day and a percentage of this comes out when you shampoo. The act of shampooing simply d islodges hairs that have already become detached from the follicle’s base and are ready to come out.” Also, not shampooing your hair doesn’t make your hair fall out either, as evidenced by the existence of dreadlocks.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!A common hair loss myth was exposure to too much sunlight, which in turn branched off into a popular spinoff debate of its own: Hat or no hat for a full head of hair into middle age? For better or worse, hair loss is principally a result of genetics. Recently Dr. Michael Wolfred, who is a plastic surgeon that specializes in hair restoration and an assistant clinical professor at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City spoke with TIME  about the frequently purported hat-hair loss cause. Research has shown that male and female pattern baldness is actually caused by an inherited sensitivity to the hormone known as dihydro testosterone.Again, that doesn’t mean genetics is the sole predictor of hair loss, as the condition is multifactorial. “If the hat were too tight, I could see that causing irritation or inflammation in the hair follicle,” Goldbach says. By itself, this probably wouldn’t cause hair loss. But it could be a contributing factor, Dr. Hayley Goldbach, a dermatologist at UCLA Health added in the same piece published in TIME. Certain materials some hats are composed of could cause an allergic reaction with your scalp that could potentially contribute to hair loss by causing the scalp to become inflamed,  but it isn’t the wearing of the hat itself. “If someone were already going bald due to other factors, like a genetic predisposition, this inflammation-induced shedding could speed up the process of hair loss,” Wolfred explained. When people begin to lose their hair, they typically start wearing hats to conceal it from people, which might have helped create a false correlation . Of course the other, slightly less popular, school of thought recommends hat use during the summer months to protect follicles from direct rays. On the topic, Dr. Antonella Tosti, an advisor over at Keep and Hair Loss expert, concedes that although direct sunlight exposure has the potential to severely dry your hair out, it is not a direct cause of hair loss. While we’re on the topic, another myth worth debunking is the one that says applying sunscreen on your scalp can result in hair thinning. The authors over at Keep, join many by declaring: “There aren’t any hair products that directly cause male pattern baldness.”  There are many factors that can certainly damage your hair, but these do not as a rule prelude baldness. Chlorine and salt water, similarly to sunlight, can dry out your hair, but neither will invariably result in the feared condition. Can hair loss be prevented?Luckily, for every myth about a potential cause of hair loss, there’s a studied method of prev enting it. If genetics are the chief factors that cause hair loss, nutritional deficiency doesn’t fall terribly far behind. For those that aren’t predisposed to baldness, it’s important to promote healthy strands by consuming the right nutrients and vitamins. Make sure you get all the vitamin A. It can be found in liver, carrots, dark leafy greens, salmon, fortified milk and eggs. Antioxidants, which are found in foods rich in Vitamin C, also help protect follicles against free radicals. One cup of strawberries contains 141% of your daily vitamin C requirement. Healthline  adds, “The body uses vitamin C to produce collagen, a protein that helps strengthen hair to prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking.”

10 change-leadership tips backed by science

10 change-leadership tips backed by science 10 change-leadership tips backed by science I’ve been speaking on change leadership for over 25 years, but only recently have researchers been able to use technology like functional magnetic resonance imagery (fMRI) to look at the brain and see what actually happens when we’re facing a major organizational change.Most of our daily activities including many of our work habits are controlled by a part of the brain called the basal ganglia. These habitual repetitive tasks take much less mental energy to perform because they become hard wired and we no longer have to give them much conscious thought. So it’s no wonder that the way we’ve always done it not only feels right, it feels good.Change jerks us out of this comfort zone by stimulating the prefrontal cortex, a section of the brain responsible for insight and impulse control. But the prefrontal cortex is also directly linked to the amygdala and that’s the brain’s fear circuitry, which in turn controls our freeze, fight or flight response. And when the prefrontal c ortex is overwhelmed with complex and unfamiliar concepts, the amygdala connection gets knocked into high gear. The result is all those negative feelings of anxiety, fear, depression, sadness, fatigue or anger that change leaders observe in their teams (and often in themselves).But if science helps explain our negative reaction to change, it also offers insights for helping people deal with change:Make the change familiar.If you show people two pictures of themselves, one an accurate representation and the other a reverse image, people will prefer the second because that’s the image they see in the mirror every day. It takes a lot of repetition to move a new or complex concept from the prefrontal cortex to the basal ganglia. Continually talking about change, focusing on key aspects will eventually allow the novel to become more familiar and less threatening.Let people create change.No one likes change that’s forced on them; and yet, most people respond favorably to change they c reate and brain research shows why this is so. At the moment when someone chooses to change, their brain scan shows a tremendous amount of activity as insight develops, and the brain begins building new and complex connections. When people solve a problem by themselves, the brain releases a rush of neurotransmitters like adrenaline and this natural high becomes associated positively with the change experience.Simplify your communication.The prefrontal cortex can only deal well with a few concepts at a time. As tempting as it may be to lump everything you know about the change into one comprehensive chunk, don’t do it. Your job is to help people make sense of complexity by condensing it into two or three critical goals that they can understand and absorb.Don’t sugarcoat the truth.The prefrontal cortex is always on guard for signals of danger. When overly optimistic outcomes or unrealistic expectations are exposed (and by the way, they always are) the prefrontal cortex switches to high alert looking for other signs of deception and triggering the primitive brain to respond with feelings of heightened anxiety.Help people pay attention.The act of paying attention creates chemical and physical changes in the brain. In fact, attention is what is continually reshaping brain patterns. The term attention density refers to the amount of attention paid to a particular mental experience over a specific time. The greater concentration on a specific idea, the higher the attention density. High attention density facilitates long-term behavioral change. Now, one way to encourage people to pay attention is to package new ideas in continually different ways, attention-grabbing ways. A story, a game, an experience, a humorous skit, a metaphor, an image or even a song.Don’t underestimate the power of emotion.According to the neurologist and author Antonio Damasio, the center of our conscious thought (the prefrontal cortex) is so tightly connected to the emotion-generating a mygdala, that no one makes decisions based on pure logic. Damasio’s research makes it clear that mental processes were not conscious of drive our decision making, and logical reasoning is really no more than a way to justify emotional choices. When leaders announce change, therefore, they need to go beyond logic and facts and include an appeal to the audience’s emotions.In addition, remember that emotions are infectious.Like the common cold, emotions are literally contagious. You can “catch” an emotion just by being in the same room with someone. And since emotional leads tend to flow from the most powerful person in a group to the others, when the leader is angry or depressed, negativity can spread like a virus to the rest of the team, affecting attitudes and lowering energy. Conversely, upbeat and optimistic leaders are likely to make the entire team feel energized.Watch your body language.When your body language doesn’t match your words, your verbal message is lost. Neu roscientists at Colgate University study the effects of gestures by using an electroencephalograph (EEG) machines to measure “event-related potentials” â€" brain waves that form peaks and valleys. One of these valleys, dubbed N400, occurs when subjects are shown gestures that contradict what’s spoken. This is the same brain wave dip that occurs when people listen to nonsensical language. So if you state that you are open to suggestions about implementing change, but as you talk about “openness,” you cross your arms in a “closed” gesture - you literally don’t make sense. And if forced to choose, people will believe what they see and not what you say.Give people a stabilizing foundation.In a constantly changing organization, where instability must be embraced as inevitable, a sense of stability can still be maintained. The leader’s role here is to create stability through honoring the organization’s history, detailing current successes and challenges, and creating a powerful vision for the future. And, by using the term “vision,” I’m not referring to a corporate statement punctuated by bullet points. I’m talking about a clearly articulated, emotionally charged, and encompassing picture of what the organization is trying to achieve.Optimize the power of inclusive relationships.Using (fMRI) equipment, researchers found that when someone feels excluded there is corresponding activity in the dorsal portion of the anterior cingulate cortex - the neural region involved in the “suffering” component of pain. In other words, the feeling of being excluded provokes the same sort of reaction in the brain that physical pain might cause. The new change-leadership fundamentals emphasize inclusive and collaborative relationships. Social networks â€" those ties among individuals that are based on mutual trust, shared work experiences, and personal connections are the foundation for organizational success. Anything you as a leader can do to nurtu re these mutually rewarding relationships will also enhance the change readiness within your team and throughout your organization.The biggest difference I’ve seen in the requirements for change leadership is a result of the shift from “the change” to “constant change” â€" and this is more than just semantics. Many leaders have become proficient in managing the occasional (or annual) large-scale transformation. But managers today are facing a flood of continuous, overlapping, and accelerating change that has turned their organizations upside down. And managing people in this environment requires all the communication and leadership strategies we learned in the past â€" and then some.Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D., is an international keynote speaker and leadership presence coach.

Performance Expectations that Make a Difference

Performance Expectations that Make a Difference Performance Expectations that Make a Difference All employees want to know what’s expected of them, and any manager should be able to answer this question. Getting clear on the expectations for a job is required to write a job description, advertise for a position, employee selection, employee orientation, goal setting, feedback and coaching, and annual performance reviews. There was  a 2003 study  conducted by the Learning and Development Roundtable which found that  explaining performance expectations  had the highest return on investment of any manager-led employee development activity. Higher than providing feedback, coaching, giving advice, or individual development plans. The study also found that managers who are effective at employee development can outperform their peers by up to 25%. Explaining performance expectations is important to employees, it improves productivity, and it doesn’t cost a dime. So then why are so many employees still being kept in the dark when it comes to figuring out what’s important to their managers? Why won’t managers do it? Setting Expectations So why don’t more managers do it? Is it that, like a lot of management and HR practices, we make it sound more complicated than it needs to be? If you’ve ever sat through a lesson on how to write  SMART goals, you might come to that conclusion too. It doesnt have to be. Here is a simple, yet effective method: Set aside 30 minutes of uninterrupted time. Turn off your phone, your email, and shut your door.Take out a blank pad of paper and a pen, or open up a Word document.Think about what you would look for in an ideal employee if you were hiring someone tomorrow. Jot those things down.Think back to all of the performance improvement discussions you’ve had with employees over the last few years. Jot the opposite of those things down. For example, if the discussion was about poor customer service, write, “Provide outstanding customer service.” Think about all of the things that are important to you that you  have not  discussed with employees, but you have implied. Add to your list.Think of your best employees â€" what has made them so good? What does their best work look like and how do they do it? You got it, more for your list.Take a look at the generic performance criteria that is provided by HR on the company performance appraisal form. For each item, describe  in your own words  what “good” looks like for your employees. At the end of 30 minutes or sooner, you should have no problem filling up at least one sheet of paper. Whatever you do, don’t go back and sanitize it. It is not  an official HR job description  that has to pass EEO and the department of labor standards. It’s simply a list of stuff that anyone who has worked for you for five years has probably figured out.

4 Questions to ask Yourself Before Starting a New Job

4 Questions to ask Yourself Before Starting a New Job 4 Questions to ask Yourself Before Starting a New Job Can you afford to miss work? Probably the most pressing issue to consider before deciding to take a break from work is expenses. Some people are forced into work immediately due to a mandated start date or financial complications, but for those who can afford it, and really need some recharge time, taking a few days between jobs may help in getting into the right mindset for a new job. If you are unsure about the affordability of missed work, ask yourself the following questions: Is it feasible for you to miss a paycheck? Absolutely make sure you can afford to take the time off before you make the decision. And understand that you may not receive your first paycheck for several weeks depending on the schedule of your new employer. Will you lose any of your benefits? Usually, leaving a job also entails losing health insurance and other benefits. These benefits may end immediately upon leaving your old job or you may have a grace period of continued coverage. If you anticipate any medical needs during your job transition, taking time off between jobs may become an even more expensive proposition. Are you mentally prepared for a new job? After financial considerations are out of the way, it is time to consider your frame of mind- particularly your mental and emotional health. These personal aspects can have a great impact on your performance at work and if there are deficiencies in these areas it may be necessary to take some time between jobs to correct them. The free time can be used to help regulate your sleep cycle, plan a healthier diet, spend quality time with family, friends, or yourself, and get some exercise. If you feel you need some time to reboot, use your days off to get yourself in order so that you can be mentally prepared for your new position. Are you burned out from your last job? Was one of the main reasons you walked out of your most recent occupation due to stress? If so, it may be a good idea to take some time to relax before walking into another stressful work situation. Though you may feel great about getting out of your old position and into a new and better job, you’re probably still suffering from the effects of stress that your old job brought. Strongly consider taking some time off to recharge as your new job will undoubtedly bring its own set of stressors. Do you need some time to reacquaint yourself with unused skills? You may be entering into a job that will challenge you in ways your previous work never did or require the use of skills you haven’t had to practice for a long time. If this is the case, you may genuinely need to take some time between jobs to reacquaint yourself with those tools and skills you will need to succeed in your new position. A few days off may be just the thing to ensure that you are sharp and energized on your first day.
