Hosted by HBR · EN
At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. We try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work.
We encourage comments, critiques, and questions. We expect our community to be a safe space for respectful, constructive, and thought-provoking discussion.

Widespread Digital Miscommunications — and How to Dodge Them
Yesterday00:04:43Tap to summarizeCommon Digital Miscommunications — and How to Avoid Them 17 Apr 2020 --- It’s both difficult and crucial to hit the right tone. As Covid-19 spreads across the world, more and more of us are starting to work from home. In light of this global shift (and all of our heightened stress levels), it’s crucial to take steps to avoid miscommunication when working as part of a virtual team. Researchers who spent the last four years studying the science of emotions and their intersection with our lives at work share how to best communicate in the digital age. How do you avoid sending a passive aggressive Slack (“let’s chat.”) or email (“just bumping this up in your inbox!”)? How do you hit the right tone over text? Did you go too far by adding that exclamation point? Based on the following HBR article: 10 Digital Miscommunications — and How to Avoid Them by Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy https://hbr.org/2020/03/10-digital-miscommunications-and-how-to-avoid-them --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We enlist the foremost experts in a wide range of topics, including career planning, strategy, leadership, work-life balance, negotiations, innovation, and managing teams.

Applying Porter’s Five Forces to Fix U.S. Politics | HBR IdeaCast
Yesterday00:31:35Tap to summarizeApplying Porter’s Five Forces to Fix U.S. Politics | HBR IdeaCast 2 Feb 2023 --- Katherine Gehl, a former CEO and the founder of the Institute for Political Innovation, and Michael Porter, a professor at Harvard Business School, apply his Five Forces framework to explain why U.S. politics are dysfunctional. They argue that the Republican and Democratic parties make up an industry duopoly with high barriers to entry and low consumer power, and that the resulting lack of competition incentivizes these two dominant players to avoid compromises with majority support. Gehl and Porter provide specific innovations on how to enhance competition and better serve the public, including nonpartisan primary elections and ranked-choice voting. Gehl and Porter are coauthors of the new book The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy and the HBR article “Fixing U.S. Politics.” This episode originally aired on HBR IdeaCast on June 23, 2020.
