The authors contend that sustainability should be thought of as the common ground shared by a company's business interests (those of its financial stakeholders) and the interests of the public (its nonfinancial stakeholders). A fruitful way to think strategically about a company's sweet spot is to think in terms of minimization and optimization.

As labor markets became slack, HR shifted its focus to relentless cost cutting. Because it was hard for employees to quit, pay and every kind of benefit got squeezed. But now the pendulum has swung the other way. The U.S. unemployment rate has been below 4% for five years (except during the Covid shutdown), and the job market is likely to remain tight. So today the priorities are keeping positions filled and preventing employees from burning out. Toward that end HR needs to focus again on taking care of workers and persuade management to change outdated policies on compensation, training and development, layoffs, vacancies, outsourcing, and restructuring. One way to do that is to show leaders what the true costs of cur- rent practices are, creating dashboards with metrics on turnover, absenteeism, reasons for quitting, illness rates, and engagement. It’s also critical to prevent employee stress, especially by addressing fears about AI and restructuring. And when firms do restructure, they should take a less-painful, decentralized approach. To increase organizational flexibility and employees’ opportunities, HR can establish internal labor markets, and to promote a sense of belonging and win employees’ loyalty, it should ramp up DEI efforts.":1,"#Giant leaps can happen in short spans of time.

Her TALK maxims will inspire you to evaluate your conversations through a new lens and level up your own game when it comes to communicating and connecting with others.":1,"#Brooks recommends starting the process by seeking to understand the other person’s experience. Then, you can acknowledge what you’ve learned, express care for the person, show remorse for the wrongdoing, and express a promise to do better in the future, all while being humble and avoiding a request for forgiveness. Brooks encourages you to make the moment about the other person instead of drawing it back to yourself.":1,"#Conversations sometimes require apologies. When accomplished in the right way, this conversational skill can undo harm and bring you and a conversation partner closer together.

The ingredients are acknowledging what the other person is saying, affirming the other’s perspective, illustrating where you agree and disagree, hedging what you claim, using positive framing, sharing personal stories that shape your viewpoint, and avoiding “explanation words” that make you sound dogmatic and condescending.":1,"#Even with the best conversational stewardship, differences in emotions, beliefs, and motives can make a conversation difficult. Visible and invisible stumbling blocks can trip up gifted conversationalists. However, reverting to the TALK maxims can help you work your way to smoother ground.":1,"#Dealing with Difficult Conversations":1,"#Brooks encourages you to ensure that every participant has access to “airtime” to speak and share ideas. You can foster inclusion by shifting topics to welcome those on a conversation’s outskirts. Specific strategies can include acknowledging and giving credit to newcomers, adding humor, and building a good conversational structure to steward group conversations to be healthy, helpful, and fun.":1,"#Group conversations bring new challenges. As a group’s size increases, so does the number of stories, ideas, and jokes that can be shared. However, the odds of motives, preferences, decisions, and feedback coming into conflict grow as well.":1,"#More Minds, More Coordination":1,"#The fourth TALK maxim is <em ljsid-1=\"\">kindness</em>. Brooks explains that good topics, questions, and levity keep conversations alive, but kindness is what makes people in a conversation feel respected and valued. It requires more of you than being nice or saying the right thing. Brooks states that you must also recognize and restrain your egotistical human instincts and prioritize other conversational needs—namely, what’s important to others. She coaches you to show kindness by speaking respectfully and listening responsively, both of which show that you’re enjoyable to be with and demonstrate that you see and strive to know the person you’re engaging and believe them to be worthy of your care.":1,"#The third TALK maxim is <em ljsid-1=\"\">levity</em>. Levity in a conversation breaks the doldrums of work talk, schedule-setting, long-winded complaints, and sputtering chit-chat. Brooks explains that the focus of this maxim shifts dialogues from informational to relational. Rather than brainstorming together, giving or receiving advice, asking and answering tough questions, persuading a person to your opinion, or signaling and earning status, you can actively elevate the moods of both participants and make the time you spend together more fun and satisfying. Brooks suggests being playful, funny, or silly with <em ljsid-3=\"\">affiliative humor</em> that brings everyone together rather than <em ljsid-5=\"\">aggressive humor</em> that involves targeted put-downs or insults.":1,"#The second TALK maxim is <em ljsid-1=\"\">asking</em>. When you ask thoughtful, discerning questions, you can help your conversation partner feel safe and comfortable, and you may inspire them to co-create the conversation with you. Brooks explains that asking questions does more than improve a conversation; research shows that people who ask more questions are better liked. The questions don’t need to be dazzling or brilliant to have an impact. Questions that reveal your curiosity and genuine interest in another person raise your likability factor. She also explains that the questions don’t need to be benign. You can ask sensitive—and even intrusive—questions, which are often received far better by strangers and acquaintances alike than you might believe. The key is to ask well by showing your interest and good intent.":1,"#The first TALK maxim is <em ljsid-1=\"\">topics</em>. Brooks describes topics as the “building blocks of conversation” and asserts that mastering them is essential, largely because what you talk about impacts the conversation’s success. Having a set of topics at the ready can be immensely helpful. However, keep in mind that those that may be a good choice with someone you’re familiar with may differ from those that work well with a new acquaintance. That’s why topic management is a valuable skill to build. When you learn to choose and steer the conversation toward mutually rewarding topics, the discussion can be positive and productive for both parties. Brooks coaches you to move from small talk to tailored talk that could interest the person you’re speaking with, incorporating follow-up questions, disclosures, and opportunities for your partner to share personal details that may illuminate common ground or open the way for deeper discussion.":1,"#Brooks developed the <em ljsid-1=\"\">TALK</em> maxims to achieve these goals. They serve as a set of reminders to help you balance how informational and relational you intend to be with a conversation partner so you can connect, savor your time together, advance your own goals, or protect yourself, depending on what the moment requires.":1,"#Navigating the TALK Maxims":1,"#Real conversations are messy and complex. For instance, a transcript of your everyday conversations would likely include nonsensical sentences, half-finished ideas, and bouts of circular logic with numerous interjections.

Philosopher Immanuel Kant, etiquette expert Emily Post, and self-help entrepreneur Dale Carnegie have all provided guidance to help you stay on the side of “social niceties.” However, Brooks cautions that more maneuvering is needed to handle everyday conversations. She explains that you must master the arts of self-reading, mind-reading, and room-reading with people who may think and experience the world in ways that wildly differ from your own modes of thinking. All the while, you must be mindful of the conversational context and purpose embedded in the discussion for the dialogue to be successful.":1,"#Clicking this link will redirect to relevant products for the Author Alison Wood Brooks.":1,"#AI First":1,"#Vision without action is nothing more than a daydream.

These organizations benefit not just from having a strategic plan, but from undergoing the strategic planning process itself. In 10 Steps to Successful Strategic Planning, Susan Barksdale and Teri Lund detail how the planning process unites organizational leadership and enhances communication of critical information. Today's marketplace demands that employees, work groups, and organizations have a clear understanding of their roles, the products and services that they offer, as well as the processes that they use to create and market those products and services.

Even as people express concern over the government’s methods of data collection, they call on it to more forcefully regulate privacy protection and put new laws “on the books.” However, how privacy is defined and how it is protected varies greatly from country to country. In Privacy on the Ground, Kenneth A. Bamberger and Deirdre K.
