New research in behavioral science has revealed that cynical thinking stands in the way of success in the workplace. Cynics, it turns out, earn less money, report lower job satisfaction, and are less likely to be elevated to leadership positions. That’s because success is not the winner-take-all battle that cynics believe it to be. Cynicism, in fact, can bleed workplaces of creativity, openness, and morale, and the bottom line — whereas the people who succeed at work tend to so by building trust

If I was a client I’d be getting fairly hacked off- different people, different approaches, styles, methods of working and that nagging feeling it does not fit any bigger picture.

Few companies have a clear idea of where strategy making ends and execution begins. As a result they develop strategic plans where they’re not required and fail to develop strategic plans where they are. To help prevent this happening to your Graham Kenny offers a few dos and don’ts: (1) Don’t develop strategic plans for functions; (2) Confine “strategy” to the business level; (3) Keep strategy and action separate; and (4) Be careful how you use the terms “strategy” and “strategic.

As a sales professional or a member of a sales team, here are some questions I want you to ask yourself: What do you do when new competition shows the potential to disrupt your sales cycle?

High stress at work can destabilize people’s ethical compass, putting them at heightened risk of ethical lapses. When employees focus solely on achieving their targets, deadlines, or personal financial goals at the expense of ethical considerations — when doing the right thing feels burdensome compared to seemingly less-costly shortcuts — they can teeter on “ethical burnout.
