Working for a Tough Boss by Suzanne Bates - Jun, 2011 Shakespeare once said, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” If you are a boss you may feel frustrated when you get feedback that people perceive you as tough.

Recently I came across an article on Boston.com with tips on dealing ... |

After a long day of ferreting out client information and formulating presentation strategies, I like mindless, no-thinking-involved entertainment. Chuzzle provides it. Briefly, you match three (or more) of the same color fuzz balls by moving the columns up and down or left and right. They giggle, explode and accumulate points. New fuzz balls drop into place until you’ve exploded enoug... |

How to Be Strategic in Your People Operations by Emily Chardac - Jun, 2011 I think it’s human nature to make assumptions on employees, candidates, and the general public based on your cultural background, religious practices, moral upbringings, and past life experiences. By no means is this a personality default, but something to be aware of. The challenge with getting in the habit of doing so is putting you at risk of not being able to think outside the box.
