Bite Size Business Tips

LinkedIn is telling your employees not to be loyal to you

Iyas A · Jun 2, 2023 ·

They’re telling everyone that their employer doesn’t care about them. There are two agendas at play here. First, bad news gets noticed. If I tell you that your employer doesn’t care about you, you’re far more likely to read my post than if I tell you that your employer cares. Newspapers have known this forever, […]

Feedback can hurt. But we need to stop thinking all pain is bad.

Iyas A · May 11, 2023 ·

I found this on a school report from when I was 12. It’s wonderfully honest. I’d wager Mr Thomas was really thinking “The kid’s a bit shite. But as he’s large, we can use him as an obstacle in defence.” But he was worried about my feelings. So he softened it up. Though it’s still […]
