You may have wondered how to say no to a not-so-great request from your boss. Here’s how.
Innovation Editor Christine Liu tries the one thing that’s seemingly ingrained in our workplace brains: saying no to your boss or co-worker. It’s hard no matter how you slice it, but a clean framework can take the emotion out of the statement and soften the blow. In this episode of Christine vs. Work, Ruchika Tulshyan, an inclusion strategist and author of, “The Diversity Advantage” helps Christine out by presenting a formula and discussing why deflecting a workplace ask can be so difficult.

The Explainer: Blue Ocean Strategy Lees meer
16 Jul 2019
---
When you break the bounds of existing industries, competition becomes irrelevant.
The business universe consists of two distinct kinds of space, which we think of as red and blue oceans. Red oceans represent all the industries in existence today—the known market space. In red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are well understood. Here, companies try to outperform their rivals in order to grab a greater share of existing demand. As the space gets more and more crowded, prospects for profits and growth are reduced. Products turn into commodities, and increasing competition turns the water bloody.
Blue oceans denote all the industries not in existence today—the unknown market space, untainted by competition. In blue oceans, demand is created rather than fought over. There is ample opportunity for growth that is both profitable and rapid. There are two ways to create blue oceans. In a few cases, companies can give rise to completely new industries, as eBay did with the online auction industry. But in most cases, a blue ocean is created from within a red ocean when a company alters the boundaries of an existing industry. This is what Cirque du Soleil did. In breaking through the boundary traditionally separating circus and theater, it made a new and profitable blue ocean from within the red ocean of the circus industry.

What Do I Need to Know About Workplace Etiquette?
When you’re starting your career, navigating the unwritten rules around to how to behave at work can be really difficult. So how do you learn that etiquette?
This week comedian and author Sarah Cooper tells host Elainy Mata how she learned those invisible rules early in her career, why they matter, and which rules she thinks you can bend.
You may know Sarah for her viral lip-syncing TikToks during the pandemic. But before that, she worked as a designer at big tech companies – like Yahoo and Google. And she didn’t just crack the office etiquette game — she also had some fun with those rules. In fact, Sarah’s early comedy is all about office etiquette – like her satirical article “10 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings.”
Sarah and Elainy offer their take on the etiquette of email writing, how to handle yourself in meetings, and when it’s OK to wear your comfy pants to work. Plus, they answer your office etiquette questions.
Have a career question? Let us know at NewHere@HBR.org.
Key topics include: interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, listening skills, office politics, careers.

Jared Spataro heads Microsoft’s Modern Work team, which is looking at the future of work and the technologies that will get us there. They just finished their second annual Worker Trend Index, which analyzes a survey of 31,000 people in 31 countries as well as other data and trends. This year’s index discovered that the people coming back to the office post-pandemic are very different from those who left it two years ago. But many leaders don't fully understand just how different.
This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, HBR Editor Adi Ignatius will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

How to Control Your Emotions During a Difficult Conversation: The Harvard Business Review GuideUploaded 02-03-222 Mar 2022---When you’re in the middle of a conflict, it’s common to automatically enter a “fight or flight” mentality. But it’s possible to interrupt this response and clear a path towards a more productive discussion.00:00 Have you ever lost control during a heated argument at work?00:28 Emotions are a chemical response to a difficult situation.01:35 To stay calm, first acknowledge and label your feelings.02:25 Next, focus on your body.03:32 Use visualizations.04:19 Focus on your breath.04:52 Repeat a calming phrase or mantra.05:08 Ok. Let’s review.Start by taking a deep breath and focusing on your body. Repeat a mantra to yourself such as “This isn’t about me,” “This will pass,” or “This is about the business.” And try to distance yourself from the negative emotion you’re feeling by labeling it: “He is so wrong about that and it’s making me mad becomes I’m having the thought that my coworker is wrong, and I’m feeling anger.” And don’t forget the value of taking a break.

Ten years? Fifty? Business students take their best guesses, and Melinda Gates explains why the real number is centuries away.
Across all aspects of American life, it is most often men who set policy, allocate resources, lead
companies, shape markets, and determine whose stories get told. Meanwhile, what gains have
been made typically haven’t extended to all women. That’s led to a major gap in gender equality in the United States.How long will it take to close that gap? According to the World Economic Forum, the U.S. is still 208 years away from achieving gender equality at this rate of change. But technologist and philanthropist Melinda Gates believes we currently have a rare opportunity to accelerate this timeline. She has a strategy for accelerating the pace of progress and achieving measurable results by 2030.

How can an understated watch brand stand out against flashier, gem-encrusted offerings in China?
Wei Song oversees Greater China for Rochat & Schmid, a 100-year-old Swiss maker of luxury timepieces. China is a critical market for the firm, but sales of watches have stalled there. The firm's competitors are going after China's luxury shoppers, who are younger and flashier than the traditional customer base, with new gem-encrusted products that offer "bling." To compete with them, Pearl Zhang, Song's VP of marketing, wants to launch a campaign featuring a Chinese singer with a huge social media following among Millennials. But Simon Carbonnier, R&S's chief creative officer back in Switzerland, is dead set against celebrity endorsements and anything that deviates from the brand's long-term value of "understated elegance." Should Song fight for Pearl's new campaign--or not? Expert commentary on this case study is provided by Kent Wong and Martin Ganz.

Part one of HBR IdeaCast’s special four-part series, Find Joy in Any Job, with Marcus Buckingham on how to design your work to focus on what you love.
There’s been much talk about the Great Resignation and what’s driving it. The pandemic has exacerbated a long-term problem: many of us struggle to find any pleasure in our work. But quitting isn’t the only the solution. Often, it’s not feasible.
In this special series from HBR, we look at a different path: figuring out what you really love and crafting your current role around that. In part one of four, we dig into the data showing why people feel so disengaged and what they feel is missing from their work.
IdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.

Pricing Strategies for Uncertain Times | HBR IdeaCastUploaded 22-02-2322 Feb 2023---Rafi Mohammed, founder of the consulting firm Culture of Profit, says a crisis or recession is not the time to panic and slash prices. He says leaders should instead reevaluate their price strategy — or develop one for the first time — to better respond to customers during the slump and keep them when the economy recovers. He shares examples of companies across a variety of industries that have created effective price strategies as well as his advice for changing prices in response to Covid-19. Mohammed is the author of The 1% Windfall: How Successful Companies Use Price to Profit and Grow.

01:28 A: Architect: Build your company’s culture and capabilities for innovation.
02:12 B: Bridger: Forge partnerships outside your organization.
03:11 C: Catalyst: Accelerate co-creation across the entire ecosystem.
04:15 Real-world example: Pfizer turns vendors into partners.

Marcus Buckingham: Why "Love" Is the Key to Career Success Lees meer
14 Apr 2022

If you don’t love anything about your work, it could destroy you.
Bestselling author Marcus Buckingham is a researcher and entrepreneur, and has a new book called Love and Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/Love-Work-Find-What-Rest/dp/1647821231/). He says you don't have to love all that you do, but if you have no love for any of your work then you won't be creative, innovative, or resilient.
HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Buckingham, who leads the ADP Research Institute, in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about:
• Love is very specific. It lives in the details. Managers need to meet frequently with direct reports to understand their small-scale, short-term challenges and joys.
• What makes people feel part of a team? It’s not necessarily about whether people work together in person or remotely.
• The dangers of purely transactional work. Doing something you don’t have any love for, just for a paycheck, can damage you as a person.This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.

HBR's Amy Gallo shows how.00:00 Let’s say you disagree with someone more powerful than you. Should you say so?00:30 Before deciding, do a risk assessment01:39 When and where to voice disagreement02:20 What to say ... 04:00 … and how to say it05:38 Ok, let’s recap!How exactly do you voice dissent with your superior? And is it always worth it to do so? First, weigh the risk of pushback or a negative reaction from a boss against the risk of not speaking up. If you do decide to voice your opinion, there are some best practices to keep in mind. State your opinions as facts, avoiding using judgment words. In addition, ask permission to dissent instead of offering an unsolicited opinion. Keep in mind that the final decision is still in the hands of your boss, but being honest and respectful will show them that they have more options.Reading list:How to Disagree with Someone More Powerful than Youhttps://hbr.org/2016/03/how-to-disagree-with-someone-more-powerful-than-youHow to Disagree with Your Bosshttps://hbr.org/2014/11/how-to-disagree-with-your-bossSay No Without Burning Bridgeshttps://hbr.org/2014/06/say-no-without-burning-bridgesProduced by Amy Gallo, Scott LaPierre, and Jessica GidalVideo by Andy RobinsonEdited by Jessica GidalDesign by Riko Cribbs and Karen PlayerFollow 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 #HowTo #DisagreeCopyright © 2021 Harvard Business School Publishing.

Harvard's Arthur C. Brooks on the Secrets to Joy in Your Career

Harvard’s Arthur C. Brooks on the Secrets to Happiness at Work Lees meer
12 Sep 2023
---
To the strivers and workaholics out there, bestselling author and Harvard professor Arthur C. Brooks has a message for you: change your behavior before it’s too late. Brooks was one of you: a pace-setting boss who expected others to work 80-hour weeks just like him, leaving little time for friends and family. He says he was addicted not to work, but to success. And he missed watching his kids grow up.
Today he classifies behavior like his as a pathology that can lead to misery. And he has concrete, actionable advice for increasing your life’s happiness. In fact, he writes about it in a regular column for The Atlantic.
For this episode of our video series “The New World of Work”, HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Brooks, co-author (with Oprah Winfrey) of "Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier", to discuss:
· What’s caused the severe dip in general happiness in the last few years?
· The two traits of those who find true happiness in their work
· The difference between “deal friends” and “real friends”. The real kind are “beautifully useless” and you need them more than deal friends
Happiness is contagious, Brooks says, and just being in a happy person’s vicinity can make you happier. “But,” he says, “even more contagious is misery.”
This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

She does that at the executive level, but she also understands a lot about why motivation can come and go throughout your career, including at the very beginning.

U.S. Soccer's Gregg Berhalter on Rebuilding Trust in the Wake of Controversy

U.S. Soccer's Gregg Berhalter on Rebuilding Trust in the Wake of ControversyUploaded 05-01-236 Jan 2023---Gregg Berhalter coached the U.S. men's soccer team in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where they achieved a memorable victory over Iran before losing to the Netherlands. Berhalter, who was a professional soccer player himself for 17 years, has coached in Europe and the U.S., and for the past four years, he’s been the head coach of the U.S. national team. In the past couple of weeks, he's been under another kind of spotlight. Berhalter's decision to limit the playing time of one of his young players prompted the player's parents to threaten to expose an incident from more than three decades ago in which Berhalter got into a physical fight with his girlfriend at the time, who later become his wife. Berhalter and his wife issued a statement in which he expressed his regret for his action at the time and his cooperation with a U.S. Soccer investigation into the matter.Berhalter sat down with HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius for our video series “The New World of Work.” In addition to the controversy, he discussed:• Leadership lessons he’s learned through coaching teams of highly competitive individuals who may not be used to working together and who are vying for limited starting positions. • How players can stay focused amidst the noise and distractions that come with playing sports at such a high level. (It starts by not looking for validation on social media.) • The differences between talent and character—and how to capitalize on both.This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, Adi will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live — and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

The Ups and Downs of Being a First-Time Manager | Women at Work | Podcast
1 november 2026 · 52 min
Learning to lead other people is a stressful stretch assignment. Much of that stress stems from the misconceptions many people bring into the job. They think they know what the role will entail, and then they start doing the work and realize they don’t know what they’ve gotten themselves into. Gender bias often makes the transition more painful for women since a lot of people, unfortunately, still don’t see us as cut out for leadership, even if they’d never say so to our face.Uploaded 19-10-22Three women who’ve recently moved into management speak candidly about being newly in charge of other people: the surprises, the rewards, and recent challenges. If you’re a new manager yourself, we hope you’ll find comfort in knowing that you’re not alone in any struggles you might be facing— and that you’ll get some ideas for how to deal. And if you’re just curious about becoming a boss, we hope that you’ll come away more prepared for the job and confident that you can do it too.Chapters:00:00 – Intro05:12 – How Did You Become a Manager?09:06 – Challenges as a New Manager15:09 – Getting Feedback from Direct Reports20:00 – Managerial Mindsets/The Double Bind24:36 – How to Handle Performance Reviews29:14 – When to (Not) Take Your Predecessor’s Advice32:55 – Measuring Your Success as a People Manager39:45 – OutroResources:- “Becoming the Boss,” by Linda A.
