They’ve finally made it: They’re in a senior executive role. Whether they’re an SVP, EVP, or C-level executive, the assumption is clear: They’re a master of their craft and the kind of leader who no longer needs handholding.

What makes some managers more valuable than others? Organizations tend to assume the answer lies in motivation and control: good managers are those who inspire effort, build team morale, or enforce incentives effectively. But, perhaps, the secret sauce isn’t how hard managers push; it’s how well they place. In new research spanning 200,000 employees and 30,000 managers in nearly 100 countries, I find that managers create value—for both their organizations and those they manage—by matching people to roles where they fit best. #Research #Managers #Shape #Employees #Careers
Many leaders of growing organizations bemoan employee resistance to change. But the reason most change efforts fail is that leaders suffer from the hero complex. David M.

A chemical engineer by training, Angela Nakalembe worked in the sciences and management consulting before landing at YouTube as the company’s engineering program manager for trust and safety. At YouTube, Angela explains, AI has become a first line of defense against harmful content. The technology not only accelerates content moderation tasks but makes the process more humane, by filtering out problematic content before it reaches a human reviewer. To combat the proliferation of AI-generated content that may be hard to discern from assets created by humans, YouTube, its parent company Google, and others have joined the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity Alliance to establish standards for the origin of […]
Even as the pressure to innovate grows, many companies are finding it harder and more expensive to bring new ideas to life. This slowdown is often attributed to rising R&D costs, longer development timelines, and market uncertainty. But our research shows something different: Many organizations already have the ideas they need.
