Does servant leadership work in organizations?

Servant leadership is the idea of serving others out of love instead of ego and expecting nothing in return. Is this an effective leadership style? I'd like to think so. Does this work in management? #business #psychology #management #marketing #sociology

Why is journalism dying and what are the skills of a competent journalist?

There are some great journalists who work for The Atlantic, The New York Times, and other sources. I was talking to a friend the other day about potential careers and she said I may be a journalist. She thinks that we need GOOD journalists; not just people who write about pop culture. I do...

This may sound silly, but WHY doesn't instant success happen to most people?

I'm a freshman in college and I tend to be an idealist... I don't expect to be "instantly successful" out of college because according to my dad, that's unheard of/rare. But WHY are most people NOT instantly successful. Why is it such a long process? What keeps people from being instantly...

Why do we like linear trajectories? Aren't the best careers NON-LINEAR?

https://byrslf.co/your-career-is-not-a-path-2a7a02956078#.c2eo8tv9v This is probably one of the best pieces of advice about careers that I've seen. We set our lives up for linear trajectories... (college, grad school, job, marriage, kids, etc) but what if you step OFF the track? After all,...

Does living and growing up in a cosmopolitan area affect an individual's creativity?

People are who are intelligent aren't necessarily intellectual. I read a piece by a professor at Swarthmore College about how intellectual people see links between ideas and theories. Also, the majority of people in my town are part of the "Creative Class." Does the rise of the creative class...

Why is empathy and emotional sensitivity so important today in marketing?

Being a highly sensitive person is quite challenging at times, but I hear from people and mentors that it's important to be empathic. Knowing what makes people tick FASCINATES me. #business #marketing #communications #strategic-communications

Is metacognition and right brain learning starting to revolutionize the way we think about learning and how we teach kids in school?

Sometimes I wonder if schools tend to favor left-brain dominant children. I think through images, I like theories, I'm intuitive, and I have no sense of time. (But I'm time sensitive). #psychology #education #higher-education

How can idealism and realism be combined to create a true visionary in entrepreneurship?

Visionaries are visionaries because they're crazy enough to believe that one day their idea will come true. Idealism and realism both play a role in becoming a visionary. Empathy and creativity also influence a visionary's actions. There are finders and makers. Finders are the idea people and...

How can systems thinking be used in sociology, business, and psychology?

I attended a lecture on systems thinking and I think in terms of networking. Things are always linked together somehow and the entire human race belongs to many different systems. #business #psychology #marketing #networking #sociology #social-networking

Intuition is advanced pattern recognition while sensing is information that is only verifiable. I know business does require logic but it's also important to see the implications of an action and it's important to speculate. I watched a video about rational intuition and I think that idea could...

How can the idea of agency help me when making career decisions?

Agency is the ability to make choices in the world. People are called into different subject positions and once an individual is called into a subject position they lose agency. #psychology #english #sociology

Why is college treated like a commodity and not a privilege?

Many Americans view the concept of college differently. I think education is a right, but college is a privilege and it shouldn't be that way. #college #higher-education

Is it true that balancing wisdom and knowledge really contributes to a strong character?

I read an article on Forbes called "Why Most People Will Never Achieve The American Dream" and the writer mentioned that many leaders "don't balance knowledge (the head) and wisdom (the heart)." And it's not just what you know it's what you DO with what you know. #business #management...
