HBR IdeaCast: How to Get Out of the Hybrid Work Rut
on open.spotify.com
With some high-profile CEOs demanding workers return to the office five days a week, and others touting the benefits of fully remote work, many companies compromised and ended up somewhere in the middle. But that hybrid compromise can often bring the worst of both worlds. Wharton professor Peter Cappelli and senior HR strategist Ranya Nehmeh have looked deeply at what is going wrong with hybrid – and how leaders can make it right. They explain practical ways to improve meetings, build culture, and inspire commitment from employees in a hybrid model, which is most likely here to stay. Cappelli and Nehmeh are the authors of the forthcoming book In Praise of the Office: The Limits to Hybrid and Remote Work and the HBR article “Hybrid Still Isn't Working”.

Smart People Don't Chase Goals; They Create Limits
on www.joanwestenberg.com
Why? Let me copy a paragraph from the article: Constraints make solutions non-obvious. They force the kind of second-order thinking that goals actively discourage. Instead of aiming for a finish line, the constrained mind seeks viability. It doesn’t ask, “How do I get there?” It asks, “What’s possible from here?”

3 questions you should ask if you want a promotion this year
on www.fastcompany.com
Considering a promotion can be exciting, but it's important to ask yourself three fundamental questions first. Achieving a promotion isn't solely about wanting it or sticking around long enough. First, check if there is a position available within the organization for you to move into. If there is no suitable role, then pursuing a promotion this year may not be feasible. Second, reflect on whether the job you would be promoted to is one that you genuinely desire. Third, assess whether you are prepared to take on the new set of responsibilities that come with the promotion. If you're aiming for a promotion this year, gathering information about these three aspects is essential.

6 Mistakes Leaders Make When Announcing Layoffs
on hbr.org

Leaders make six common mistakes when communicating layoffs: 1) They’re not transparent about the state of the business; 2) They’re not clear on the path forward; 3) They don’t get the tone right; 4) They don’t offer remaining employees the opportunity to ask questions; 5) They don’t bring middle management on board; and 6) They don’t show appreciation to departing employees.

When Your Layoff Anxiety Won’t Go Away
on hbr.org
Excessive worry about job security is a common work-related anxiety. But sometimes, fears about losing a job go beyond the tangible anxieties of economic uncertainty; other times, they are related to deeper fears and insecurities in ourselves. A clinical psychologist at an anxiety specialty clinic outlines five common scenarios—insecurity, catastrophizing, need for certainty, perfectionism, and people-pleasing—and offers strategies for overcoming them and managing emotions.
When Picking a New CEO, Ask Them for a Growth Plan

To Make Your Workplace Fairer, Take Charge of Its Norms
on hbr.org
You won't find workplace norms in the employee handbook, but they shape how things actually get done. From how promotions happen to how meetings are run, unspoken expectations influence behavior-and in uncertain times, clear norms matter more than ever. If you want a fairer culture, you need to help define what “normal” should be.
When You Are Asked to Meet Impossible Goals
on hbr.org
When change is a constant, employees are now experiencing five times more planned change initiatives than they did just a decade ago. Add unrealistic goals, and the result is predictable: disengagement, burnout, and a sharp decline in execution—in short, widespread change fatigue. Leaders who take on impossible goals don’t do it because they lack judgment—they do it because pushing back feels risky to them. The real leadership skill is not figuring out how to do it all; it’s knowing when and how to push back. That’s where strategic refusal comes in. Strategic refusal is a structured method to force prioritization and push back on unrealistic demands that jeopardize team productivity, morale, or well-being. The idea isn’t to avoid responsibility, but rather to protect the team, maintain long-term performance, and ensure sustainable outcomes—all while safeguarding your reputation.
