As a reader of this blog, you know (because of who you are, nothing to do with me) that anyone who tries to manage by relying on authority 100% of the time will fail miserably in the professional world. You bark once, someone probably does what you need them to do. Bark three times in row? They've already started plotting to hasten your exit. And when the people who work for you do that, it's never pretty. Managing people is more art than science.  As I think back to the best managers I've ever had, I found these things to be common threads: 1. There was never any question who the boss was.

Communication is the bedrock of all relationships, whether professional or personal. Getting it right can be particularly hard in the workplace , where people with wildly different ways of thinking and talking are all heavily invested in the topics under discussion. We risk causing offence or difficulties, and fear of that risk can be just as damaging, leading people to hold back key information.

A bunch of people have sent me this article making its way around the internet that claims that you shouldn’t use Times New Roman on your resume. Like so much resume advice that focuses on the look of your resume rather than its substance, it’s wrong and you can ignore it. If you read the article closely, you’ll notice that this wasn’t an actual study of how hiring managers perceive different fonts. They asked three typography specialists which typefaces people should use. Typography specialists — people who care passionately about fonts. Not hiring managers.
