Interviewing people involves trying to tease out a bit of personal colour. Sometimes I already know what that is or might be. That is certainly the case with Nigel Oseland who I have known for many years, know to be from Wolverhampton and who studied psychology and computer science at Keele University in my home town. He went on to focus on environmental psychology while working at the Building Research Establishment in Watford in the late 1980s and 1990s.

COVID-19 expedited work, management, and business ownership changes, with future CEOs needing tech-savviness, adaptability, and strategic acumen. CEOs will be forced to be accessible and personable enough to incentivize low turnover rates while simultaneously remaining shrewd enough to impress shareholders.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.
The phrase "comparison is the thief of joy" might be the kind of cliché that makes you roll your eyes — and yet, it's an idea that is, scientifically, pretty accurate. In today's episode, psychologist Laurie Santos — a Yale professor and host of "The Happiness Lab" podcast — discusses some of the surprising evidence behind what does and doesn't make us humans happy.
They spend their days ensuring the team they lead is working at its optimal performance. And they spend their other days ensuring their bosses, often C-suite leaders and upper management, have everything they need. So, managers find themselves living in the forgotten middle, a term called “middle child syndrome” in families, or “middle management syndrome” at work.
The shift to hybrid workplaces has introduced a unique set of challenges in communication and collaboration.

Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation. In finance, where precision and process rule, navigating change can feel especially disruptive.
Most building developers try to maximize their profits by developing all their owned land. But Angelos Michalopoulos and his wife, Vassiliki Petridou, are opting for the opposite approach.

Your dog or cat probably does it every morning and after rousing from a long nap: a long, deep stretch, the type that’s inspired the names of yoga poses. We humans mostly stretch as a quick pre- or post-workout activity, though we have something to learn from our four-legged friends. Studies have shown that regular stretching has proven benefits ranging from increased flexibility and range of motion to improved blood flow and injury prevention.
A police department in Golden, Colorado, recently transitioned to a 32-hour workweek — a significant shift from the traditional longer hours associated with law enforcement.

The trend towards shorter workweeks has gained momentum globally, especially as remote work has become more prevalent, allowing for increased flexibility.
