Not Communicating Your Impact is Killing Your Career
on newsletter.eng-leadership.com
It may be the reason you get overlooked for the promotion or worse, be part of the next layoffs. This is what to do to avoid it!
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
on hbr.org
Corporate boards often rely on backward-looking data when selecting CEOs, leading to flawed decisions. To improve the selection process, boards should ask candidates to create a growth plan that outlines their vision for the company’s future, providing a structured and comparative look at their strategic thinking.
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.

on hbr.org
When leaders misunderstand what empathy truly means, they struggle to practice it effectively—or they fail to practice it altogether. Many leaders neglect to intentionally lead with empathy, and this can have significant consequences: low morale, high employee turnover, burnout, and being perceived as unapproachable. Empathy is essential for motivating, connecting with, and engaging others. This article presents six strategies to help you develop and enhance this crucial skill in your leadership approach.

What People Still Get Wrong About Negotiations
on hbr.org
All too often, negotiators fail to share information with their counterparts about preferences on the various issues, fearful that they will be exploited if the other side knows what they value. They keep all their cards hidden and assume that this is the secret to being a tough negotiator. To elicit the information necessary to create value, resolve conflicts, and reach efficient agreements, negotiators should use four key strategies: building trust, asking questions, sharing information, and making multiple offers simultaneously. A fifth strategy is also introduced: the concept of post-settlement settlements (PSS) to improve deals even after initial agreements have been made.
Contract Negotiations Should Be Collaborative, Not Adversarial
on hbr.org
Traditional approaches to contract negotiation, heavily focused on risk mitigation, are increasingly misaligned with business needs. New research shows that while companies spend considerable time haggling over legal protections, the most common sources of disagreement during contract execution are practical issues like pricing, scope, and delivery. The path forward requires a fundamental shift in how we approach negotiations. This isn’t about abandoning risk management — it’s about recognizing that the best risk management strategy is often creating clear, practical agreements focused on mutual success.
