| How Leaders Fake Psychological Safety | While most leaders want to encourage people to speak their minds, not all of them actually want to hear the truth—and it can lead them to practice a performative version of psychological safety. Data suggests that only about a quarter of leaders develop the skills needed to create psychological safety for their teams. Here are three well-intentioned but misguided ways leaders try to "fake" psychological safety on their teams—and strategies for creating an environment that welcomes dissenting voices. | | | | | | 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. You can use a similar process to figure out how to live a meaningful life. It involves challenging yourself to go beyond the obvious. But you shouldn't give up, because the answers you'll discover are so worthwhile. After all, what's more important than your life? Commit to thinking strategically about it, look forward to the insights you will gain, and enjoy the journey. This program 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. | | | | | | Research: Setbacks Can Actually Boost Your Career | Many of us will face a setback at some point in our careers—perhaps we'll be passed over for a promotion, fail to get the job we want, or even be asked to resign. Because such experiences can shake our confidence and make us doubt our worth, trying to shield ourselves from them is instinctive. But what if by focusing on the obvious negative aspects of setbacks, we miss their silver lining? If you've hit a big pothole on the road to success, take heart. Research shows that setbacks can galvanize your career in unexpected ways that make you more successful. Three practices are key to turning them to your advantage. | | | | | | Talent Management in the Age of AI | The world of work is changing fast and the most important thing to do is realize that the old playbooks, especially around talent management, will not work—now, it's time to adapt. Leaders should focus on three big shifts that will set their businesses up for new levels of success in the age of AI, writes LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky. The first shift? Redefine jobs as a collection of skills and tasks, not titles. | | | | | | The Rise of the Meta City | The common perception that large superstar cities are declining as workers and businesses spread across the map is too simplistic. Recent research identifies the rise of a new type of city, the "Meta City," which combines elements of physical clustering with digital connectivity. Instead of becoming less important, corporate locational strategy becomes even more so. It entails selecting and managing across a portfolio of global locations for various functions, including corporate headquarters, innovation centers, and satellite offices—and more importantly, talent attraction and retention. | | | | | | |
