Ever wonder how accurately women measure their own strengths? Recent Linkage research suggests, not very well.

Job analysis and evaluation used to be one of the staple tasks assigned to the HR department, but could this method of classifying job descriptions and allocating pay grades soon be consigned to the scrapheap? The problem with hierarchies. Job analysis and evaluation is very much tied in with the notion of a governing hierarchy. The trouble with such a system is that high-performing and motivated employees can soon become disillusioned when their efforts are not appreciated or rewarded, particularly if there is little or no chance of promotion to the next grade. Are flat organisations smarter?

There’s a repression that still runs deep in the way we communicate, even in our relatively open and liberated age.

It isn’t a careful, diplomatic silence that will advance our careers. Oh Captain My Captain. Escaping Obscurity.
