In February 2013, US Airways announced that it would merge with American Airlines to create the world’s largest airline. During the acquisition integration process, CEO Doug Parker had to determine how best to combine the two airlines’ core systems, operating processes, and leadership teams, as well as the appropriate scope and speed of strategic changes. Parker knew that his choices would send important signals to employees, customers, and competitors.
Harvard Business School senior lecturer David Fubini discusses how Parker approached those decisions in the case, Merging American Airlines and US Airways.

As Apple has grown, its functional structure and leadership model have had to evolve. (Part 3 of 3)
This is part 3 of 3
Part 1--The Functional Organization: https://youtu.be/5hENFA3CJUY
Part 2--The Leadership Model: https://youtu.be/d5enAGG51PQDeciding how to organize areas of expertise to best enable collaboration and rapid decision-making has been an important responsibility of the CEO. The adjustments Tim Cook has implemented in recent years include dividing the hardware function into hardware engineering and hardware technologies; adding artificial intelligence and machine learning as a functional area; and moving human interface out of software to merge it with industrial design, creating an integrated design function.

Even if you don’t think you’re a natural (or you hate it), anyone can become proficient at this important art using the right tactics and behaviors.
00:00 “Small talk” is a misnomer for such an important part of communication.
01:07 Establish appropriate goals.
01:52 Give yourself permission to pause.
03:35 What if you feel like you have nothing smart to say?
04:24 What if I make a mistake or say something dumb?
05:09 What if my problem is that I have too much to say?
06:04 What tools can I use if none of this is natural to me?
07:53 How do I get the conversation started?
09:00 How do I end the conversation (gracefully)?According to Matt Abrahams, author of "Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You're Put on the Spot", key strategies include avoiding conventional responses in favor of establishing genuine connections, prioritizing brevity while delivering messages, and speaking authentically without the pressure to be perfect—which means daring to be dull. Fear or nervousness need not deter anyone from communicating effectively on the spot.

The Culture of Overwork Takes a Toll on Everyone (Quick Study)

The Culture of Overwork Hurts Everyone (Quick Study) Lees meer
26 Mar 2020
---
The standard work/family narrative is an outdated excuse for what holds women back.
Ask people to explain why women remain so dramatically underrepresented in the senior ranks of most companies, and you will hear from the vast majority a lament that goes something like this: High-level jobs require extremely long hours, women’s devotion to family makes it impossible to put in those hours, and so their careers inevitably suffer.
Not so, say the authors, who spent 18 months working with a global consulting firm that wanted to know why it had so few women in positions of power. Although virtually every employee the authors interviewed related a form of the standard explanation, the firm’s data told a different story. Women weren’t being held back because of trouble balancing work and family; men, too, suffered from that problem and nevertheless advanced. Women were held back because they were encouraged to take accommodations, such as going part-time and shifting to internally facing roles, which derailed their careers.
The real culprit in women’s stalled advancement, the authors conclude, is a general culture of overwork that hurts both sexes and locks gender inequality in place. To solve this problem, they argue, we must reconsider what we’re willing to allow the workplace to demand of all employees.---------------------------------------------------------------------

Cirque du Soleil's Daniel Lamarre on How to Put Creativity at the Center of Your Strategy Lees meer
12 May 2022

“There is no excuse. Creativity has to be at the forefront.” If you don't do that, one day you will wake up and discover your competitors have an edge on you, and then you're in trouble.
Daniel Lamarre is the executive vice chairman of Cirque du Soleil, a position he took after serving for nearly two decades as the circus and entertainment company's president and CEO. He is the author of, Balancing Acts: Unleashing the Power of Creativity in Your Life and Work, which describes how others can unleash Cirque's creative management techniques, even if they’re not in the business of clowns and acrobats.
HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Lamarre in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about:
• Reviving the company after a disastrous Covid-inflicted shutdown of Cirque’s operations and painful layoffs.
• His decision to leave a comfortable position as TV network CEO to “run away” and join the circus, and what it taught him about being true to his own values and ambitions.
• The surprisingly analytical side of Cirque, which relentlessly tweaks and perfects its show formulas based on continuous audience feedback.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.

What Leaders Must Do Today to Address Systemic Racism Lees meer
4 Jun 2020

How do we start real conversations about race in our organizations?
This video was recorded live on June 3, 2020. Research shows that how organizations respond to large-scale, diversity-related events can either help employees feel psychologically safe — or contribute to racial identity threat and mistrust of authority. Laura Morgan Roberts is professor of practice at the Darden School of Business and co-editor of "Race, Work, and Leadership," a book about what organizations to can do to eliminate systemic racism. She discusses how various companies are responding to racism today — and practical ways that leaders at all levels can step up for their colleagues of color.

What Is Strategy? It’s a Lot Simpler Than You Think
30 oktober 2026 · 12 min
What Is Strategy? It’s a Lot Simpler Than You ThinkUploaded 23-02-2223 Feb 2022---To many people, strategy is a total mystery. But it’s really not complicated, says Harvard Business School’s Felix Oberholzer-Gee, author of "Better, Simpler Strategy". 00:00 To many people, strategy is a mystery.00:25 Strategy does not start with a focus on profit.00:52 It's about creating value.01:00 There's a simple tool to help visualize the value you create: the value stick.01:30 What is willingness-to-pay?02:30 What is willingness-to-sell?03:14 Remind me: Where does profit come in again?03:48 How do I raise willingness-to-pay?05:00 And how do I lower willingness-to-sell?06:18 Real world example: Best Buy's dramatic turnaround Companies should simplify and focus on two value drivers, he argues: customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction. By aligning strategic initiatives on these alone, leaders make their workers’ jobs less complicated and improve customer experiences. Oberholzer-Gee is the author of the Harvard Business Review article “Eliminate Strategic Overload” (https://hbr.org/2021/05/eliminate-strategic-overload) as well as the book “Better, Simpler Strategy: A Value-Based Guide to Exceptional Performance” (https://www.amazon.com/Better-Simpler-Strategy-Value-Based-Exceptional/dp/1633699692/).Produced and edited by Scott LaPierreVideo by Dave Di Iulio and Elie HoneinAnimation by Alex BelserFollow Harvard Business Review: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 #Strategy #WhatIsStrategyCopyright © 2022 Harvard Business School Publishing.

While overt discrimination against women may have receded in recent years, she says covert discrimination, including unconscious bias, can be just as pernicious, keeping women from reaching the peaks of success. She pushes for women to find themselves not just mentors offering advice, but a sponsor who will put their own career on the line to advance that of someone they believe in.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.

How To Be Less Distracted at Work – and in Life | HBR IdeaCast
30 oktober 2026 · 34 min
How To Be Less Distracted at Work – and in Life | HBR IdeaCastUploaded 22-03-2322 Mar 2023---Nir Eyal, an expert on technology and psychology, says that we all need to learn to be less distracted into activities that don’t help us achieve what we want to each day. Unwelcome behaviors can range from social media scrolling and bingeing on YouTube videos to chatting with colleagues or answering non-urgent emails. To break these habits, we start by recognizing that it is often our own emotions, not our devices, that distract us. We must then recognize the difference between traction (values-aligned work or leisure) and distraction (not) and make time in our schedules for more of the former. Eyal also has tips for protecting ourselves from the external distractions that do come at us and tools to force us to focus on bigger-picture goals. He is the author of the book Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life (https://www.amazon.com/Indistractable-Control-Your-Attention-Choose/dp/194883653X).This article originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on September 24, 2019.Listen to more HBR IdeaCast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzAU8TPKsJuaxff5Cp0P2DKE_tFyaWOOaYou can also listen to this episode on HBR.org, and wherever you listen to podcasts: - HBR.org (transcript available here): https://hbr.org/podcast/2019/09/how-to-be-less-distracted-at-work-and-in-life- Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-be-less-distracted-at-work-and-in-life/id152022135?i=1000451042611- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4I2X4dbzvqkKZHbebqwEzq?si=4e3193d7bc804984- Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/hbr-ideacast/episode/how-to-be-less-distracted-at-work-and-in-life-64121681- Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLmhhcnZhcmRidXNpbmVzcy5vcmcvaGFydmFyZGJ1c2luZXNzL2lkZWFjYXN0/episode/dGFnOmF1ZGlvLmhici5vcmcsMjAwNi0wNS0wODppZGVhY2FzdC4wNzAx?sa=X&ved=0CAIQuIEEahcKEwiAwI-Z4O_9AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQNQSerie… Lees meer

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/hczW4Bqf3QkEver 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.

Seven questions can clarify what really matters to you and help you build your own life strategy, according to BCG’s Rainer Strack.
00:00 Summarizing a life strategy on a single page
00:20 Where did this idea come from?
00:54 What is a life strategy?
02:41 How do I define a great life?
04:15 How do I assess my life portfolio?
07:40 What portfolio choices can I make?
09:20 Where do I go from here?For more details on all seven questions and designing your own life strategy, read the HBR article: https://hbr.org/2023/12/use-strategic-thinking-to-create-the-life-you-want
In corporate strategy projects, executive leadership teams work through a series of questions to determine how their businesses can succeed. Individuals can use a similar process to figure out how to live a meaningful life. It starts with defining what makes a great life for you and then outlining your purpose and vision. You must also look at your current “portfolio” — the areas in which you spend your time and energy — to see if you’re investing the best of yourself in the activities most important to you. You should consider what research says about how people tend to find meaning and joy in life. Finally, you’ll want to identify areas where you need to make changes, and then ensure you follow through with objectives and key results. This program, Strategize Your Life, has been tested with more than 500 people around the world. With a few hours of work, you can develop a personal life strategy and summarize it on a single page.

Everyone says to “be authentic” or “just be yourself” at work. But what does that really mean, and why does it matter?
Innovation Editor Christine Liu explores this often blurry concept of being yourself while also “being professional.” How do those two things intersect? Are there new rules to learn? Have workplace expectations changed over time? And from the employer’s point of view, what’s to be gained from building a culture where employees can be authentic?
We spoke to Madison Butler, a human resources and recruitment practitioner, about the challenges and benefits of bringing your most authentic self to the workplace.

When you have an idea for a change that would make your workplace better for women, where do you begin? How can you push for a childcare stipend, a company-wide pay audit, a more comprehensive health care plan, or an ombuds office? If you instigate the change, do you have to be the face of it? What are the other roles you can play?Uploaded 23-11-22Two experts in systemic, organizational change explain the behind-the-scenes strategizing, relationship building, and risk management that should happen before approaching the people in charge, who will then need to support, fund, and build out the proposal.

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.

When Kathy Fish became Procter & Gamble’s Chief Research, Development & Innovation Officer in 2014, she was concerned that the world’s leading consumer packaged goods company had lost its capability to produce a steady stream of disruptive innovations. In addition, intensifying competition from direct-to-consumer companies convinced Fish that P&G needed to renew its value proposition to make all aspects of the consumer experience “irresistibly superior.” But making this change would require wholesale transformation from within. Can Fish bring lean innovation to scale at Procter & Gamble?
Harvard Business School assistant professor Emily Truelove discusses the challenges of bringing this established company back to an innovative mindset in her case, “Kathy Fish at Procter & Gamble: Navigating Industry Disruption by Disrupting from Within.” (https://store.hbr.org/product/kathy-fish-at-procter-gamble-navigating-industry-disruption-by-disrupting-from-within/421012?sku=421012-PDF-ENG)

After a year of remote working and spending most of our waking hours glued to video calls, what have we learned?
Many of us have been working (and living) from home for over a year, and our days are spent being camera ready for video calls and virtual events. We’ve been doing this so long that “Zoom fatigue” is all too familiar. At this point, does virtual presence still matter?
In this episode, Christine speaks with returning guest expert Rachel Cossar, a former Boston Ballet dancer turned professional presence coach, about real steps to improve virtual communication and professional success.

It’s about training yourself to pause. Here's how.
Amy Jen Su, author of "The Leader You Want to Be: Five Essential Principles for Bringing Out Your Best Self—Every Day", says that recognizing when you’re about to engage in a bad habit--and being able to find a “magic pause”--is the key. If you’re about to snap at a co-worker, reach for that sugary snack, or micromanage a direct report, there are ways to short circuit these behaviors before they begin. She describes three techniques in detail: having a mantra or “swing thought”, breathing with intentionality, and practicing something she calls the “washing the dishes meditation.”

It’s the least fun social platform, but the most important for your career. Here’s how to make LinkedIn work for you.
While LinkedIn is the central hub of online professional networking, it can also be an overwhelming and confusing place. But your digital persona is more important (and necessary) than ever, so you should probably get good at LinkedIn: How should you think about your profile and activity on LinkedIn, and why is it important to prioritize your time on this platform?
Innovation Editor Christine Liu talks to Madeline Mann, a human resources leader and host of “Self Made Millennial” on Youtube, who explains why LinkedIn matters, how to maintain and grow your network, and how best to use this platform for personal and professional growth.
