A new development in Mannheim, Germany, is the ultimate walkable community.
It’s possible that some people might own a car in a new neighborhood designed for Mannheim, Germany. But they won’t be able to drive up to their doors: The entire neighborhood is car-free, with parking hidden underground.
Studies show flexible hours are the second most important benefit. Here’s how some employees are getting more control over their workday.
A new study by career site FairyGodBoss shows that, after compensation, flexible hours trump every other factor when women are deciding on a job offer, regardless of their age or whether they have children. A recent study by McKinsey & Company finds that millennials of both genders are more likely to accept a job offer from a company that offers flexible work schedules.
Online dating is a billion-dollar industry, but swiping for new friends is still a little awkward for users and investors.
In 2016, finding a romantic partner or a casual fling through a smartphone app is more or less mainstream. A study published in 2013 found about a third of newly married couples met online, and a Pew Research Center survey released last year found most American adults agree that “online dating is a good way to meet people.”
One man’s run-in with a Roomba holds a lesson in the ways social platforms are transforming customer experience.
I was a couple years late to the party, but last winter I joined the 9 million-plus people who’ve watched the YouTube classic, “Cat in a Shark Costume Chases a Duck While Riding a Roomba.” The title is pretty much self-explanatory. But after I finished watching (and laughing), what I was really interested in was getting myself a Roomba.
“Any fool can make a point,” says writer Jeff Goins. “The truly creative person makes a connection.”
Most of us value creativity even if we do so for different reasons. Maybe you’re an entrepreneur trying to hit on your next big idea. Or maybe you’re somebody with a creative side hobby. So even while many of us are looking for our inner artist, only some think to ask themselves what’s the actual value of creativity in the marketplace—a question that isn’t always easy to answer.
Are your coworkers self-sabotaging? Here’s how to help them help themselves.
Have you made an effort to remove “weak” words from your vocabulary?
This primary season has been full of surprises—but it also holds some important lessons for leaders.
As one of the most unconventional U.S. presidential primary seasons in recent memory, the candidates on the stage couldn’t be more different. However, the race to secure their respective parties’ nominations holds some important lessons for business leaders. Here are the key takeaways.
You can learn a lot more about a company’s culture and values from its social media presence than you will on its website.
Facebook is a great place to connect with friends (or to procrastinate when you really need to be working on a project), but it can also be a great source for your next job search.
The Simpsons has one of the strongest, most complete visual brands on Earth. What happens when you tear it apart?
Why are the Simpsons yellow? According to Matt Groening, that unmistakable hue was chosen because it was unmistakable. “An animator came up with the Simpsons’ yellow and as soon as she showed it to me, I said: ‘This is the answer!'” the show’s creator once told the BBC.”Because when you’re flicking through channels with your remote control and a flash of yellow goes by, you’ll know you’re watching The Simpsons.”
The ways we look at geopolitics are hopelessly out of date. Military might and the power of nation-states aren’t what they used to be. Now it’s all about who’s the most connected.
Power in the 21st century means something very different than it did even a few decades ago. Military might, territory, and physical borders often aren’t as important as trade partnerships, resources, and infrastructure. When you think about who will be the global superpower of the next 100 years, consider this: China has a paltry military compared to the U.S., yet it is the number one trade partner of twice as many countries.
