There is too much fundamentally wrong with too many work places if people feel better after spending much less time there.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The case for the 4-day work week continues to build:

-Focus improves: we spend 35% less time on nonwork websites
-Efficiency climbs: we work smarter and waste less time in meetings
-Life gets better: we have more time for leisure, connection, reflection

This illustrates the problem of performance management perfectly. A significant number of these examples of “performance metrics” don’t have anything to do with performance at all. Some poor advice here from @AnalyticsinHR

@CoyneoftheRealm It’s not clear the standard…if any…against which you judge him. Can journalists not act in a private capacity?

[Barry Conchie @BarryConchie]

@CoyneoftheRealm Excuse me…was he acting on behalf of CNN, or as a sibling?

An important part of leadership is admitting to mistakes and showing genuine compassion. We see this here from one of our Presidential candidates.

@DTWillingham @vinwalsh I couldn’t disagree more. You reach and report the conclusions consistent with the evidence and data. If that’s repetitious then get over it. You learn something with every confirming study.

I teach “How to look busy by tying up entire organizations up in meaningless paper chases”, but people keep calling it HR.

Having watched my father die of cancer, the answer is an emphatic NO.

Death: can our final moment be euphoric?

Study sheds light on the process of death and questions if people experience a state of euphoria during their final moments.

What a depressing indictment of modern education. It doesn’t have to be this way.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

School requires you to learn about things after the answer has already been decided.

Life requires you to learn about things while the answer is in the process of being decided.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Yes, we all have blind spots: weaknesses we can’t or won’t see.

But we also have bright spots: strengths that aren't visible to us.

Teammates bring out the best in us when they hold up a mirror, so we can see our hidden strengths and put them into action.

@psychmag I always enjoyed the Munnery quote except for circumstances where the crowd was escaping from an indiscriminate person wielding a gun.

@PMarencoHR You seem to think that a single study provides evidence to support your claim, whereas it’s evidence from a single study that would completely refute it. Want to bet that study exists…?

[Barry Conchie @BarryConchie]

@PMarencoHR It’s in the eye of the beholder Pietro. Is this is your default response to criticism? I’m not ignoring facts, just pointing out that sweeping generalizations are unscientific.

[Barry Conchie @BarryConchie]

@PMarencoHR Keep it cool? Seriously?

[Barry Conchie @BarryConchie]

@PMarencoHR From your article - “What happens is that organizations and consultants measure both engagement and performance at the same moment in time”. This is factually incorrect.
