How to Influence Culture When You're Not the CEO. 6 Polite but Effective Ways to Deal with Unwanted Advice. Homepage. The Dangers of Hiring a Nice CEO. A CEO we’ve worked with – let’s call him “Gary” – prides himself on being a collaborative leader who invests in consensus and builds relationships.

Unfortunately, by the time we met Gary, his habits as a “nice CEO” were about to cost him his job. In speaking with the management team, we saw familiar signs of pain.

President Barack Obama recently commented that in 2008 Hillary Clinton had to do everything he did, but she had to get up earlier to have her hair done. This contrast, which applies in today’s campaign as well, is the metaphoric tip of a multifaceted iceberg of challenges facing Clinton because she’s a woman. Obama went on to note that the media unfairly “called her out” for being tough, while ignoring similar toughness on his side. That, too, can be traced to the double bind that confronts all women in positions of authority. How To Parent Like a German. The first time I went to a playground in Berlin, I freaked.

Dorsey, who is tasked with turning around Twitter, told investors earlier this month the company was focusing on what “Twitter does best”—and a key part of his strategy hinges on Periscope, the live streaming app it acquired last January.

Though live streaming is not a new concept, these apps made it simple for people to broadcast directly from their smartphones. “The core vision is just to see anywhere in the world right now,” Tyler Hansen, Periscope’s lead designer, tells Quartz. In the early days, the team thought that meant viewing people’s pictures from around the world, with some gamification elements, like earning points, thrown in.

A 2013 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management asked HR professionals about the quality of their own PM systems; only 23 percent said their company was above average in the way it conducted them. Other studies uncovered even more disdain. According to the Corporate Executive Board (CEB), a management research group, surveys have found that 95 percent of managers are dissatisfied with their PM systems, and 90 percent of HR heads believe they do not yield accurate information.

Sometimes it’s easy to see why—the employee fears a shift in power, the need to learn new skills, the stress of having to join a new team.
