Read More How To Turn A Work Friend Into A Real Friend
If you turn a work acquaintance into a true confidant, you’ll have more fun at work—and improve your life too.
Friends make life better, and work is an easy place to meet potential friends for a simple reason: We spend a lot of our lives there. If you are fortunate enough to have a work friend who is also a real, rest-of-life friend, you score several upsides.

WWE Superstar John Cena Lays Out The True Meaning of “Authenticity”

A company’s shareholder value doesn’t necessarily reflect its value to the wider world: how useful its products are, the good it does for people, how much it tries to minimize social and environmental harm. With that in mind, a new survey asked people to rank companies for their perceived “purpose”—the extent to which they stand for something other than making money.
How To Use Snapchat To Get A Job
Using a cleverly designed geofilter, one job candidate targeted his preferred employer and got the job.
Anyone who’s ever dismissed Snapchat as a just vehicle for sexting or silly face-swapped selfies should take a second look. The mobile app that traffics in disappearing messages was just used as a vehicle to apply for and land a job.
Dismantling The Myth Of The Self-Reliant CEO
A survey sheds light on how startup CEOs deploy a battery of coaches, therapists, and support groups in order to thrive.
Mark Zuckerberg. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Tony Stark. Only one of those four is fictional, but all share in a popular mythology that the most successful CEOs are independent visionaries who create value through sheer inspiration and force of will.
