How Fintech Can Deliver on Its Social Impact PromisesFinTech companies are seeing enormous investor interest on the back of promises of providing services to the financially underserved — a clear example of social enterprise that can do well by doing good. Yet while the industry has increasingly become synonymous with impact potential, fintech companies and investors have little insight into whether the industry is actually living up to its grand promises. Without more rigorous approaches to identifying and measuring impact, investors will continue to guess at the impact these companies. The authors provide several pieces of advice for how FinTech can better disclose their social impacts.

How to Recover from Work Stress, According to ScienceTo combat stress and burnout, employers are increasingly offering benefits like virtual mental health support, spontaneous days or even weeks off, meeting-free days, and flexible work scheduling. Despite these efforts and the increasing number of employees buying into the importance of wellness, the effort is lost if you don’t actually recover. So, if you feel like you’re burning out, what works when it comes to recovering from stress? The authors discuss the “recovery paradox” — that when our bodies and minds need to recover and reset the most, we’re the least likely and able to do something about it — and present five research-backed strategies for recovering from stress at work.

Design Physical and Digital Spaces to Foster InclusionOften, strategies around making organizations more anti-racist focus on changing hearts and minds. Sometimes this isn’t enough, however, and can result in backlash or increased self-segregation among white employees. In these situations, leaders should consider using design principles to create the spaces in which employees of different races can interact more frequently. Specifically, they should focus on creating casual intergroup encounters in both digital and physical spaces.

Research: Why CEOs Shouldn’t Take All the CreditAs a CEO, it’s only natural to want to take credit for unexpected positive outcomes — especially if your compensation is tied to self-reported updates on company performance. But in a recent study, the authors find a hidden cost to taking credit for success. Their analysis of 23,000 media articles about more than 350 CEOs showed that when CEOs credit their strategic decisions for unexpected positive earnings, they are more likely to be blamed for negative results in the future (and more likely to be fired as a result). Conversely, when leaders are humble and take less credit for positive outcomes, they are less likely to be blamed or removed from their positions when earnings fall. In light of these findings, the authors argue that CEOs should take a long-term approach to impression management by erring on the side of humility when times are good, so they’ll be less likely to be blamed if and when the tides inevitably turn.

Design Your Organization to Match Your StrategyAn organization is nothing more than a living embodiment of a strategy. That means its “organizational hardware” (i.e., structures, processes, technologies, and governance) and its “organizational software” (i.e., values, norms, culture, leadership, and employee skills and aspirations) must be designed exclusively in the service of a specific strategy. Research suggests that only 10% of organizations are successful at aligning their strategy with their organization design. Some of the problem is a gross misunderstanding of what the word “alignment” actually means in this context. When it comes to executing strategy, alignment means configuring all of the organization’s assets in the service of your stated strategy and making sure there is no confusion about what each part of the organization does to bring it to life. If you’re embarking on executing your company’s strategy, here are six ways to make sure your organization is designed to do it successfully.

How the Best Teams Keep Good Ideas AliveMany leaders feel stuck. They know that employee perspectives are crucial for retention and innovation, but they struggle to single-handedly create a culture where employees are empowered both to speak up with ideas and to see them through — where it’s the good idea that matters, rather than the role or status of the person who initially raises it. Based on their research on “voice cultivation” — the collective, social process through which employees help lower-power team members’ voiced ideas reach implementation — the authors have identified several tactics leaders and their teams can use to help ensure good ideas make it to implementation: amplifying, developing, legitimizing, exemplifying, and issue-raising.

38 Smart Questions to Ask in a Job InterviewThe opportunity to ask questions at the end of a job interview is one you don’t want to waste. It’s both a chance to continue to prove yourself and to find out whether a position is the right fit for you. In this piece, the author lists sample questions recommended by two career experts and divides them up by category: from how to learn more about your potential boss to how to learn more about a company’s culture. Choose the ones that are more relevant to you, your interests, and the specific job ahead of time. Then write them down — either on a piece of paper or on your phone — and glance at them right before your interview so that they’re fresh in your mind. And, of course, be mindful of the interviewer’s time. If you were scheduled to talk for an hour and they turn to you with five minutes left, choose two or three questions that are most important to you. You will always have more time to ask questions once you have the job offer in hand.

Office Politics Don’t Have to Be ToxicOffice politics might seem unpleasant, but the ability to build relationships, access opportunities, and influence others is critical for anyone’s professional development. Unfortunately, research has shown that employees from underrepresented groups are often excluded from the informal mechanisms of office politics, hindering their ability to advance. In this piece, the authors describe how toxic organizational cultures can lead these employees to disengage from the political arena, ultimately harming their career prospects, while inclusive cultures can foster participation in healthy office politics. Based on both an analysis of in-depth interviews with ethnic minority employees in the UK and a broad array of prior research on politics, leadership, and inclusion, the authors offer five strategies to help organizations build healthy cultures, in which all employees are able to engage in and reap the benefits of office politics.
