Our research has shown, and frankly all of us over the past two years have seen the IT executive clearly step to the forefront in the landscape of the most critical roles for enterprise success and transformation. From the beginning of the pandemic the CIO was the hero who got us safe and operational from...
There are more than 10 million job openings in the U.S., so why do so many job seekers remain frustrated by hiring managers who ignore them and online application portals that delete them? There are a lot of jobs out there, but a lot of rejection, too. It’s easier than ever to apply for roles,...
Why is miscommunication common in the virtual workplace? Lack of context. And it’s not just that e-mails and phone conversations lack a person’s visual reaction to what you’ve said. Think about the information you can glean just from the seating arrangement in a physical conference room — who sits next to whom, who’s at the...
Earlier today I spoke with an incredible woman who’s spent most of her career as an activist, working in nonprofits. Her work helped a lot of people, but it didn’t exactly earn her a lot of money. But worse, after a while the constant attempt to right the world’s wrongs got under her skin. It...
With increasing unemployment making front page news these days, you may think your prospects for success this year are dwindling (particularly if you’re already in the market for a new job). Life’s easier and opportunities flow more freely when the economy’s on fire. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t opportunities in a tightening market...

Use your holiday merry making as an opportunity to connect with people that can help make you a success. These networking strategies should help get you started. Bring back the pre-party! Whatever inspiration you want to draw from your crazier college days is up to you, but the idea here is that if someone else...
I was recently teaching first-year students at the UCLA Anderson School of Management how to build relationships for career growth. As in my recent column on Inc.com’s Sales & Networking Resource Center, I discussed “currencies,” or the unique knowledge, talents, interests, connections, etc., that each of us possess, things we can give to others to build...
Newspapers Need Reinvention For years now, the newspaper industry has been virtually paralyzed as it has watched its readership age and younger consumers turn to other media. While they’ve made a few feeble gestures, for the most part, newspapers have seemed to accept this geriatricizing as inevitable. The argument: younger readers were brought up on...
My friend Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision, recently brought his friend Lionel Richie to one of our regular meetings where we brainstorm ideas and exchange candid advice and a healthy dose of mutual admiration. So, with some of the smartest people I know, we held a personal branding strategy session for Lionel Richie. Here’s a...
Ever heard that hard work leads to success? Apparently, that’s wrong. Last month, our poll revealed that Inc.com readers believe the number one reason people get ahead in a company is NEPOTISM. In fact, 48% believe that being the boss’s son is the secret to getting ahead, while only 25% said success comes from doing...
Hey, with the national political process well underway, wouldn’t it be cool if you had grown up with the President-to-be and he owed you a big favor? WRONG! (Sorry, trick question.) As tempting as that may sound, this kind of thinking will actually lead you to real failure in life on so many dimensions. Nothing...
The Bush administrations proposal to cut $119 million from the SBA’s 2005 fiscal year budget doesn’t seem to upset the SBA’s leader, Hector V. Barreto, as Elizabeth Olson writes in a recent New York Times News Service article. Barreto defended the administration’s proposal saying that revisions in the SBA’s most popular loan program will eliminate the need...
We’ve studied what unlocks team potential for more than twenty-one years. Our new research shows how to reclaim 30% of your life and empower hybrid teams.
