Getting help should be simple.

I am a HUGE fan of people sharing feedback, and whenever possible, not anonymously. If you don't have a culture that allows honest, direct feedback, start to change that by providing positive and constructive feedback regularly with your team, your manager, and the larger organization.

Offering anonymity can be a great tool for surfacing hidden issues–but a frequently poor one for solving them.

Excellent crash course in company culture. While we have strong thoughts about good company culture in general, the video does a good job explaining the benefits of each.

They all have pros and cons.

Some companies are shunning remote work, which is certainly their prerogative. However, I would argue that preventing remote work speaks more to the company's ability to manage people than an actual deficiency in the work from those types of employees. I'm a huge fan of Trello in general and I think their guide for remote work is spot on (having worked remote full-time for a few years). Check the guide out!

Great suggestions on independent brainstorming that allow group brainstorming to be more effective.

The hero is faced with a huge—potentially insurmountable—challenge. A random event or object sparks their creativity, and suddenly they devise a brilliant solution to save the day.

"Now, it feels like an adventure." That's how I feel too!

"Individuals who focus too intensely on the details run the risk of developing tunnel vision, neglecting important tasks such as maintaining control of the organization’s long-term vision and objectives..."

Business leaders should maintain strategic vision and leave tending to the details to their managers.

I consider myself a jack-of-all-trades, but I'm not a fan of the negative connotation ("master of none"). I like that I can do a lot of things well, and I think this article is pretty spot on with the pros and cons.

People look down on the multitalented—even the phrase “Jack of all trades, master of none” has a bit of a negative caveat. But there are a lot of hidden perks that come with being a Jack. These are the best reasons you might want to reconsider the notion that a Jack of All Trades can’t be equally as...

Liz Ryan is one of my all-time favorites and I just found an article where she talks about the very thing that I like to help people and organizations with!

"In the weeds we have no perspective. Close to the ground, we are tiny. We can only see a few inches in front of us. When we get altitude, we can see more of what's happening around us and ask important questions."

When you're stressed, the most normal thing in the world is to hunker down and start ticking items off your to-do list. "Maybe if I can get these fifteen items off my plate," you think, "I'll feel better. I won't have so much stress. My boss will get off my [...]
