Face to Face Communication Still Matters. Are You Surprised?

Given Mayer’s appointment to the role at only 37 years old and pregnant with her first child, one might assume she would be an advocate for the flexible work/life balance for which so many parents of young children strive. This edict struck me as a significant step back in making the business world more hospitable for working parents.

Who knew? Observations from Charles Duhigg’s The Power of Habit

I could write a book about Charles Duhigg’s best-selling book called The Power of Habit... but I won’t because I could never do it any justice.
