Harvard Business Review

Business, Careers, Education

At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. We try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work.

We encourage comments, critiques, and questions. We expect our community to be a safe space for respectful, constructive, and thought-provoking discussion. We reserve the right to remove or turn off comments at our discretion. We do not tolerate bullying, name-calling, or abusive language related to identity, including race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, age, or region; spam; copyright violation; extreme profanity; or p*rnography.

  1. Why Great Teams Don't Need to Like Each Other

    Show notes

    Do great teams need to like each other to succeed? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant says no. What matters more is alignment around a shared purpose—and a willingness to challenge one another.

    Uploaded 21-10-26

    In this episode of HBR IdeaCast, Grant joins host Adi Ignatius to discuss his new book, Vibe, and what leaders can do to build stronger teams, improve workplace culture, and foster meaningful connections. He explains why task cohesion matters more than social bonding, how to encourage productive disagreement, and why hiring for cultural fit can leave organizations vulnerable to groupthink.

    Grant also shares practical advice on onboarding new employees, giving and receiving candid feedback, and creating a culture where people feel safe speaking up. Plus, he explains why AI companions can’t replace the messy, sometimes uncomfortable interactions that make human relationships—and teams—stronger.

    Listen to the HBR IdeaCast for more conversations with leading thinkers on strategy, leadership, and managing organizations.

    Series Description:
    Women face gender discrimination throughout our careers. It doesn't have to derail our ambitions — but how do we prepare to deal with it? There's no workplace orientation session about narrowing the wage gap, standing up to interrupting male colleagues, or taking on many other issues we encounter at work. So HBR staffers Amy Bernstein, Amy Gallo, and Emily Caulfield are untangling some of the knottiest problems. They interview experts on gender, tell stories about their own experiences, and give lots of practical advice to help you succeed in spite of the obstacles.

    Think Twice Before Updating Your Brand

    Uploaded 11-10-22

    12 Oct 2022

    ---

    Brands are constantly changing in order to “stay fresh”, but that’s a mistake. Customers stay loyal through habit, not because you've forced something new and unfamiliar on them. Roger Martin, former dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and one of the world’s leading thinkers on strategy, says brands shouldn’t be so quick to throw away their cumulative advantage.

    00:00 Customer loyalty–their consciously choosing your brand–is only half the story.
    01:00 What is cumulative advantage, and why is it important?
    02:14 Just how fragile is this cumulative advantage?
    02:45 Example: Tide laundry detergent forfeits its cumulative advantage.
    04:54 Instagram redesigns a familiar icon. Why?
    06:03 So, should brands never do anything new?

    How to Stop Promoting Incompetent Men (Quick Study)

    12 Mar 2020

    ---

    Are there fewer women in management because we can’t discern between confidence and competence? The popular explanations range from women just aren’t capable of being leaders to women just don’t want to be leaders. According to author Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic however, the absence of women in leadership roles has less to do with women themselves and more to do with how we interpret leadership traits. Confidence – a trait more associated with men – is often misinterpreted as competence. As a result, charismatic, but incompetent men have fewer barriers to reach the top than women. Individuals in positions to promote and hire managers should think more critically about what seems like a leadership trait versus what is an actual leadership trait. They will find that arrogance and overconfidence – the characteristics that get men into management positions – are also the characteristics that cause poor performance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work.

    Disagreements between work colleagues can get even more uncomfortable and tricky to navigate when you can’t work them out in person. Amy Gallo, author of the “HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict”, explains why conflicts are more likely to escalate through text-based communication, and says that even in the Zoom-era a phone call may be the best solution. She also points out that there can be upsides to having to resolve differences remotely. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.

    Joly says people are not a resource, they are the creative engine of innovation and change that companies urgently need.

    HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Joly, author of The Heart of Business: Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism
    (https://www.amazon.com/Heart-Business-Leadership-Principles-Capitalism-ebook/dp/B08CNMLDH1), in the fifth episode of our new video series “The New World of Work,” to talk about:
    • Making meaningful purpose a genuine priority of business operations
    • The “human magic” of empowered and self-directed employees
    • Admitting you don’t have all the answers is a sign of strong leadership.

    By putting people at the center of your company’s purpose, Joly says, we “start with a declaration of interdependence, where you embrace all stakeholders.”

    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.

    Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi CEO, Dr. Rakesh Suri, says the first step in leading his team was to slow down, take a deep breath, and align his team with a shared vision for action. The UAE – of which Abu Dhabi is the capital – was the first country in the Middle East to report a case of the virus in January. As of April 14, the UAE had reported 4,521 cases and 25 deaths. Though the situation is fast-evolving, Abu Dhabi has brought together a range of private and public healthcare facilities to test the population and treat the sick. Dr. Suri has led Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s response, at one point leading remotely from quarantine. He says that now more than ever, leaders must not neglect self-care, know when to delegate, and identify nascent leaders on their teams.
