A look at the ethics of business from an HR and Aristole-esk perspective

the double-bottom-line: keeping both the financial aspects of profitability and sustainability in tune with being a moral organization (aka "Don’t be evil.")

Confirming what most people already suspected: happiness improves productivity, life satisfaction, and a slew of other indicators. It’s so obvious, but why do so many managers feel that they can make their subordinates miserable?

In my studies of Women and Leadership we talk about the Labyrinth as being a newer model over the Glass Ceiling. this dicussion of the Glass Cliff is interesting, though I feel like it’s just one challenge within the Labyrinth. I love Ghelani’s mindset, however, treating the Glass Cliff as a challenge, to "leap over the Edge of Glory."

A lot of people are afraid to admit they are weak. Leaders, remember that being human isn’t a weakness.

For the followers, being a supportive role can be one of your most important tasks, and probably a good way of being recognized for your effort!

It’s always sad to me how appearance plays into things like this. It seems inevitable, but there’s a socioeconomic barrier that is sometimes difficult to jump when it comes to style, both in how to afford to dress well before you make the big bucks, and learning what to wear (and how to wear it!).

One technique that Kastelle suggests as a way to cope with having your ideas shreddid is to band together. Recently I was at a conference for Women and Leadership, and the speaker suggested to always try to have (at least) three women in the boardroom, to have proper support. I think that the number 3 is probably a good minimum number when considering any banding-together approach, as one or two peple are very easy to dismiss.
