CEO shares a âsecret trickâ for deciding to quit your toxic job: 'It can make it much, much clearer' - CNBC

Toxic bosses are far too common: They're the reason 57% of employees have quit a job, according to one report.

"Defining your personal values can be tremendously powerful at navigating an issue like this. Not only which values are the most important to you, but [also] which ones you actively oppose," Garrett told the Harvard Business Review's "New Here" podcast earlier this month. "We don't always know why we have negative feelings about the workplace, but if you've taken the time to define your values, it can make it much, much clearer."

You should probably consider leaving your job if you are completely opposed to your boss's approach on a moral level. If the problem isn't quite as severe, like a communication issue, you might be able to find a way to deal with your frustrating manager, Garrett said.

Cocaine: How do you destroy two tonnes of illegal drugs? - BBC News

Cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis and heroin are among the drugs which smugglers attempt to bring to Ireland.

In September, one gang was foiled when law enforcement in the Republic of Ireland made the largest ever drug seizure in the history of the state.

Over two tonnes of cocaine was recovered after officers stormed a cargo ship off the County Cork coast.

Manage Your Work, Manage Your Life - Harvard Business Review

Senior executives have discovered through hard experience that prospering at their level is a matter of carefully combining work and home so as not to lose themselves, their loved ones, or their foothold on success. To learn how they reconcile their professional and personal lives, the authors drew on five years’ worth of interviews with almost 4,000 executives worldwide, conducted by students at Harvard Business School, and a survey of 82 executives in an HBS leadership course. The stories and advice of these leaders reflect five main themes: defining success for yourself, managing technology, building support networks at work and at home, traveling or relocating selectively, and collaborating with your partner.

Some intriguing gender differences emerged in the survey data. For example, men still think of their family responsibilities in terms of breadwinning, whereas women often see theirs as role modeling for their children. And male executives tend to praise their partners for making positive contributions to their careers, whereas women praise theirs for not interfering. Executives of both sexes consider the tension between work and family to be primarily a woman’s problem, and most of them believe that one can’t compete in the global marketplace while leading a “balanced” life. “Earnestly trying to focus,” the authors conclude, “is what will see them through.”

Work/life balance is at best an elusive ideal and at worst a complete myth, today’s senior executives will tell you. But by making deliberate choices about which opportunities they’ll pursue and which they’ll decline, rather than simply reacting to emergencies, leaders can and do engage meaningfully with work, family, and community. They’ve discovered through hard experience that prospering in the senior ranks is a matter of carefully combining work and home so as not to lose themselves, their loved ones, or their foothold on success. Those who do this most effectively involve their families in work decisions and activities. They also vigilantly manage their own human capital, endeavoring to give both work and home their due—over a period of years, not weeks or days.

Hong Kong’s year of protest now feels like a mirage - The Economist

Among the Braves. By Shibani Mahtani and Timothy McLaughlin. Hachette Books; 336 pages; $30 and £25

On July 21st 2019 Hong Kongers witnessed an attack so notorious that, like the felling of the twin towers or the Tiananmen Square massacre, they came to refer to it by numerical shorthand: 721. On that evening scores of gang members, known as triads, stormed Yuen Long, a rural metro station. There, in train carriages and on concourses, they set upon anyone they suspected of returning from that day’s pro-democracy protests.

Gwyneth Ho, then a 28-year-old journalist for Stand News, an online-news site, rushed to the station to livestream the violence. Even as triads beat her to the ground with bamboo sticks, she managed to keep filming. That bravery made Ms Ho’s name and eventually propelled her into politics. However, the authorities were no longer willing to tolerate opposition: they locked her up and shut down Stand News. The trial of Ms Ho, who stands accused of endangering “national security”, is ongoing. The verdicts for her and 46 other activists being tried on similar charges alongside her are expected later this year.
