Great Expectations
One bad habit shared by many of us is getting stuck in negative thought patterns and expecting the worst possible outcome in every situation.

Salary and Self-Esteem
Since becoming a CEO, Elizabeth Miles, a co-founder and chief executive of Iken Business Ltd., a legal software company based in Bristol, U.K., has been “shocked to find that (on average) women employees are grateful for pay increases, whereas men expect and demand more.

Last week, a new study confirmed something essential about women, something that refuses to budge, even though many say it’s long past time.

The Dignity of Work: Transforming the One-Size-Fits-All Workhouse into a Custom-Fit Workplace
The inefficiency of slavery is now obvious, but to George Washington it came as a revelation. While on a visit to Philadelphia, Washington noticed that free men there could do in “two or three days what would employ [his slaves] a month or more.” His explanation-that slaves had no chance “to establish a good name… Continue reading
