GUEST POST from Pete Foley In this blog, I return and expand on a paradox that has concerned me for some time. Are we getting too good at innovation, and is it in danger of getting out of control? That may seem like a strange question for an innovator to ask.

GUEST POST from Mike Shipulski What it takes to do new work: Confidence to get it wrong and confidence to do it early and often.

A bi-annual poll of U.S. marketing leaders found that social media investments have declined to their lowest level in seven years.

By 2026, global corporate spending on wellness programs is set to top $94.6 billion, yet anticipated improvements in well-being are not being realized, and, in fact, mental health needs are continuing to rise around the world. Drawing on a large body of recent research, the authors argue that well-being programs are failing, in part, because they focus on individual solutions rather than the broader systems that affect workers.

In our busy lives, it’s hard to find enough time to pause and reflect. But if we never make the time, we may just end up running fast in the wrong direction — and this is especially true when it comes to our careers. That’s why, once a quarter, it’s useful to run through this three-step exercise, or do a “career detox.” The first step involves turning inward and asking yourself a series of reflective questions focused on whether you’re still happy with your current path.

You know the space is new when you don’t have the right words to describe the phenomenon. When there are two opposite sequences of events and you think both are right, you know the space is new. You know you’re thinking about new things when the harder you try to figure it out the less you know. You know the space is outside your experience but within your knowledge when you know what to do but you don’t know why.

Pay-for-performance (PFP) is considered one of the strongest tools to motivate employees, yet despite its popularity, it can sometimes create stress for workers that results in decreased performance, creativity, and engagement. New research suggests that how employees view their supervisor has a role in determining whether workers view PFP as a motivating challenge, leading them to achieve new heights, or a stressful threat that impacts their work.
