Many people feel guilt about what they've done or didn't do in their worklife: from knowing teammates will pick up their slack to guilt-tripping a romantic partner into earning all the income. And then there's lying on a resume or stealing from your employer: exaggerating hours billed for, padding expense accounts, taking sick days so you can see the Giants play, fooling around on the Internet for a couple hours at work, etc.
Is corporate life that bad? Worse? Better? Columbia Business School's Ray Fisman and Harvard Business Review Press's Tim Sullivan will take us through the logic--or seeming lack thereof--of these organizations.
Whether you're a corporate leader, a non-profit drone, or simply want a look into the window of what it's really like in corporate America beyond what you watch in Mad Men or The Office, I think you'll enjoy this segment of Work with Marty Nemko on Feb. 24, 2013.
As America becomes ever more diverse and our economy becomes ever more global, careers as a translator, interpreter, and in making communication culturally sensitive are ever more in-demand. That will likely accelerate further when "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" occurs in the U.S.
Dr. Mark Goulston did a great job in his previous appearance on Work with Marty Nemko a few years ago.
So I decided it's time for an encore. Goulston's current focus: helping to develop leaders who can maximize people, planet, and profits while not risking their job--indeed becoming beloved. Goulston also is the author of the just-published book, Real Influence: Persuade Without Pushing, Gain Without Giving In. He'll be my guest on the Feb. 3, 2013 edition of Work with Marty Nemko.
On the Feb. 10, 2013 edition of Work with Marty Nemko, I'll talk with Stanley Chao, author of Selling to China: a guide for small to midsized businesses. I have read the book, cover-to-cover and it truly is an eye-opener, and very authoritative, indeed definitive.
Work with Marty Nemko is heard every Sunday from 11 am to noon on KALW, 91.7 FM, San Francisco.
