Asking questions is a powerful way to build trust, exchange ideas, and unlock value in organizations. And it is a skill that can be honed to make work conversations more productive, say Leslie K. John and Alison Wood Brooks, professors at Harvard Business School. In this classic episode, they join former host Sarah Green Carmichael to talk through insights from behavioral science research. They share techniques to adjust the frame, tone, and type of questions to improve results—whether you're looking to get information, find solutions, or just get someone to like you. Brooks and John wrote the article “The Surprising Power of Questions” in the May–June 2018 issue of Harvard Business Review.
Burnout culture is everywhere - case in point, a lawsuit brought against Goldman Sachs earlier this year by a former employee claiming that the relentless workload required by the firm led to heart problems and depression.

Andy Molinsky, professor of organizational behavior at Brandeis International Business School, says that there are actions we all can take to get out of our safe zone and achieve our goals.

In this week's episode, Felix, Mihir and Bloomberg's Sarah Green Carmichael discuss the writers' strike in Hollywood. Why do we suddenly see a strike during “the golden era of television” and amidst intensifying streaming wars? What are the thorniest issues? How do they speak to challenges for knowledge workers more generally? Plus, why you should love meetings. (We are not kidding!)
Andi Owen, the CEO of MillerKnoll, recently went viral for telling employees not to ask about bonuses during a company-wide meeting, adding, “You can visit pity city, but you can't live there.” The company said Owen's comments were taken out of context and that she is committed to her team. But in a still newly post-Covid world and workplace, Owen's advice about traveling to Pity City struck a nerve. There are so many tensions still at play in blue-collar and white-collar workplaces: work-from-home, wages, and balancing work and gratification – all in the shadow of a pandemic that took about seven million lives globally. Sarah Green Carmichael has written about work culture, including the “Pity City” boss, childcare, and the merits of hybrid work as a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion.

Popular stereotypes of successful CEOs as charismatic white men with Ivy League degrees who never falter under pressure are often misleading.“[T]he CEOs I get to know up close and personal really look nothing like this image of perfection. And so we decided to dig into this with the data,” says Elena Botelho, who co-leads the CEO Genome Project and advises top leaders. Botelho tells IdeaCast host Sarah Green Carmichael that actual success in the C-suite has more to do with being decisive, staying adaptable, and delivering reliable results.Key topics include: leadership development, leadership transitions, decisiveness, adaptability, and results.HBR On Leadership curates the best case studies and conversations with the world's top business and management experts, to help you unlock the best in those around you.

Is the U.S. next to build a Chinese-style walled garden that keeps out unwanted companies and governments? Also, we review Southwest's operational collapse during the holidays. Is legacy technology to blame? Did the company really underinvest?

Felix, Mihir and Sarah Green Carmichael debate how to best fight misinformation. What is the role of liability? Can we leave the battle against fake news in the hands of the internet platforms? Can we fact-check our way out of this crisis? The three hosts also discuss the corporate withdrawal from Russia.
Heidi Grant, a motivational psychologist, has studied successful people and what makes them tick.

Whether you are just getting started or have been in the entrepreneurial world for a while, there are several assumptions out there that we have been told along the way. Today, Abby interviews @sarahgreencarmichael from the Bloomberg Opinion (and formerly at Harvard Business Review) to dig into debunking the myths we have learned about going part time, taking less pay, and feeling like our corporate jobs are more secure.If you are questioning a transition, this is going to be a good one to tune into!Let's connect!INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET SARAH: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinionMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen
When the work keeps piling on, there comes a time when everyone needs to say no. But how do you do so without offending your coworkers or hurting your career? Former host Sarah Green Carmichael, and Karen Dillon, the author of the “HBR Guide to Office Politics,” talk about the best practices on saying no to work when you're overwhelmed.
What if you had a heart attack, but instead of calling your spouse or partner to get medical attention, your first thought was, "I need to meet with my manager tomorrow; this isn't convenient?" This is precisely what Jonathan Frostick, an IT lead at HSBC, experienced and explained in a LinkedIn post that went viral. A post that caught the eye of Sarah Green Carmichael, an editor with Bloomberg, and she needed to know more about why someone would think about a meeting before calling for medical help. Sarah talks us through the process that led her to research and writing multiple articles about workaholism. A critical takeaway from Sarah's work is that workaholics often pin the blame anywhere but on themselves. Instead, it's your overbearing boss, an always-on company culture, or rising economic inequality. However, we have the power to control what we do, the ability to "reframe" our experience to choose what is best for us. During our conversation, Sarah shares tactics on reducing workaholism from learning how to embrace trade-offs to developing other identities outside of our work/careers.

When I saw some data that challenged my assumption that some women opt out of the workforce to raise children or care for family members, I knew I had to talk to the author to explore this further!
One of my favorite podcast has always been Harvard Business Review's IdeaCast, which Sarah Green Charmichael hosted for many years. I had the opportunity to meet Sarah here in Boston in 2019 and she kindly accepted my invitation to be a guest on my podcast. Sarah Green Carmichael is an editor with Bloomberg Opinion. She was previously managing editor of ideas and commentary at Barron's, and an executive editor at Harvard Business Review, where she hosted the HBR Ideacast.

Over the weekend I devoured John Eldredge's new book, Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices For A World Gone Mad. A line in his introduction had me hooked as he was laying out the purpose of the book, “I found myself flinching when a friend texted and asked for some time. I didn't want to open email for fear of the demands I'd find there…It made me wonder -- am I becoming a less loving person?” How I wish that line didn't resonate when I read it. But it did. Towards the final pages of the book Eldredge diagnoses what is really going on, “these are symptoms that we're running on fumes.” Chaos is a gas-guzzler and has a high emotional fuel burn rate especially for those in the service and “helper” industries. As you build and grow your business, here are low to no-cost steps you can take to both re-fuel while burning less fuel. First, make time for a daily walk. This may or may not be your regular sweat-exercise. The goal with a walk is to get outside. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Americans spend 93% of their life indoors. Eldredge puts it in a deeper perspective saying that if you live to be 100 years old, 93 of those years have been spent indoors. In her article The Daily Routines Of Geniuses, Sarah Green Carmichael reflects on the outdoor walking habits of the greats like Dickens (3 hours per day), Tchaikovsky (2 hours per day), and Kierkegaard who would “often rush back to his desk and resume writing, still wearing his hat and carrying his walking stick. I have been taking a walk most days just around my street (it's a big circle) for the last few years. It is restorative. Second, time block your week. We have business owners tell us regularly that time blocking their week has been one of the most clarifying disciplines they have installed. One business owner even told me a few weeks ago, “it has literally changed my life.” Why? Time blocking your week means that you own your week instead of your week owning you. Time blocking means that when someone reaches out to you to connect, then you get the share the times you are available while feeling confident in the times that you are not available. We delivered a powerful webinar called Owning Your Schedule: Stop Wasting Hours Every Week On Small, Boring Tasks That Never Really Add To Your Life. You can watch the replay here: http://bit.ly/bophiringwebinar One humble suggestion as you layout the hours of each day in your time block. Go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. There is typically not much good happening late, and there is a whole lot of peace and quiet if you are willing to get up early. Third, find a private workspace without distractions. The open office concept is cool to look at and yet is killing focus and deep work. We rent a space in town where we have the majority of our in person, and online client interactions, but then I retreat to my upstairs home office overlooking my backyard most Mondays and Fridays. Those are the days that I spend preparing for the Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Although we have minimal general foot tracker in our conference room space, distractions still abound. In most cases, your workspace as an owner is too accessible. You don't have to rent a separate space. Do you have a home office, or a study room at the local public library, or a corner booth at Panera bread with a powerful set of headphones? Time block segments of your week at your private office where no one except your loved-ones can find you. Finally, ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. I wish I had come up with that, but it is a line from my favorite author and thinker Dallas Willard. Theologian Robert Banks points out that “our society is rich in things, but poor in time”. Last week I sat with a dear friend in Nigeria for a little over an hour and then mentioned that I needed to head to the next meeting, his response was quiet and simple, “you can be late.” The West African context is rich in relationships and time, but poor(er) in things. Even writing this I am already looking forward to the next thing...as I am sure you are too as you read or listen. Stop. Go for a walk. But you respond, “none of that will work for me...you don't understand my world.” Then you will need to embrace chaos. But you don't have to.

I always love speaking with individuals at the low end of the learning curve. So many emotions are on the surface, but by the time someone hits the sweet spot, they often don’t remember how hard it was to do the things that now come easily. In an attempt to capture this movement along the learning curve, today’s podcast is in a new format: part one was recorded back in December, when my guest, Sarah Green Carmichael, had just left her position as Executive Editor at the Harvard Business Review. I’ve known Sarah for ten years, and this was a BIG jump. She was comfortable at her job and loved her colleagues, but she was clearly at the top of her curve. It was time to jump…but that didn’t make it an easy decision. Conquering her fear, Sarah accepted an offer to work as a Managing Editor of Ideas at Barron’s. In part two of the podcast, we catch up with Sarah several months later, after she’s had time to settle into her new role. We discuss the steep part of her learning curve, what happened in her first few months, what surprised her, and where she is on her learning curve after an unexpected new curve came her way. I loved discussing Sarah’s “jump,” because her story is so similar to many I’ve heard across the country. When you’ve grown complacent in your job but it’s not “bad,” is it worth the leap? It’s uncomfortable at the top of the learning curve, but it’s uncomfortable at the bottom, as well. Complete Show Notes, Links and Transcript - https://whitneyjohnson.com/sarah-green-carmichael

Every entrepreneurial success story has a strong visionary that's able to recruit countless others to help them along the way. Being willing to ask for help isn't only critical in the early days of building something. It can help you avoid mistakes at every level, filling any gaps in your knowledge, your network, your experience, and much more. Still, for many asking for help is not natural. It's easy to feel like you're inconveniencing someone while adding no value to them. Fortunately, this is mostly a false line of thinking.We start this episode by discussing how to get over this initial feeling of self-doubt by first understanding that every successful person has gotten help from someone else to get to where they are, and by using negative visualization to realize that the worst that can happen if you ask for help is, well, absolutely nothing. Next, we break down the most effective way to get others to help you, especially if you're approaching important people. Start by using whatever you can to your advantage (your friends, classmates, colleagues, your expertise, etc.) and prove to others that you're serious about what you're trying to accomplish. Lastly, we suggest offering value whenever you can, giving examples from our past, and being as specific as possible when asking others to help you. In the spirit of Thanksgiving we wanted to close this episode by thanking a few of the people that helped us in impactful ways this year, including Jordan Harbinger of The Jordan Harbinger Show, Sarah Green Carmichael of HBR, Georgie Mihaila of Goalcast, and Tanya Klitch of Forbes.com.

In this special episode, HBR IdeaCast host Sarah Green Carmichael introduces Harvard Business Review’s new podcast “Women at Work,” about women’s experiences in the workplace. This episode about being heard tackles three aspects of communication: first, how and why women’s speech patterns differ from men’s; second, how women can be more assertive in meetings; and third, how women can deal with interrupters (since the science shows women get interrupted more often than men do). Guests: Deborah Tannen, Jill Flynn, and Amy Gallo.
Sarah Green Carmichael, Senior Editor at Harvard Business Review and host of the HBR IdeaCast podcast, joins host Stew Friedman to discuss research that shows overworking is actually LESS productive, and that time off is important on Work and Life.

Sarah Green Carmichael is a Senior Editor at Harvard Business Review and host of the award-winning HBR IdeaCast, where she’s interviewed Stew a couple of times. So this episode turns the tables. Sarah edits HBR.org, which has won the Webby Award for Best Business Website the last two years in a row. She is a regular speaker and moderator at conferences like SXSW, the Drucker Forum, and Thinkers50. Prior to joining HBR, she was a sportswriter (her one major shortcoming is her unthinking devotion to the Boston Red Sox), taught middle school students, and worked as a researcher for Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Ellen Goodman. Her writing has been featured in many periodicals and magazines. She graduated magna cum laude from Brown University. Stew and Sarah talk about the growing problem of young people working too many hours, why this is an increasing risk in contemporary business life, and some practical ways to avoid the resulting burnout. Sarah labels it “work obsession” as opposed to “workaholism” or even “work martyrdom” to take the emphasis off hours worked and focus instead on the emotional investment we are placing on work, at the cost of our humanity. What, after all, is the purpose of a human life, she plainly asks? Work matters, but it may not need to be the primary feature of our brief moment on the planet. For many, after all, this is a matter of choice, right? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The habits of successful people are something almost everyone is interested in – it doesn t matter if you re a creative, a stay at home mom, or a CEO. If there were a switch we could throw that would make us more creative most of us would do it. What is it that makes those who are ultra successful stand apart from the rest of the crowd.? Dane s guest today, Sarah Green Carmichael is a person who s taken a deep dive into the subject over the years. What she s observed is not commonplace knowledge – which is exactly what we want to uncover on this podcast, so we truly appreciate Sarah being so generous with her insights. If you take the time to listen to this conversation you ll hear the heart of a woman who cares not just about success, but about achieving it in ways that are healthier for you as an individual. Sometimes working smarter is not what you think. As Dane asked Sarah Green Carmichael about what she s learned in the realm of the habits of successful people she was quick to point out that the idea of working smarter rather than harder is not always the issue. We tend to think that the advent of technology is what enables us to make that distinction but in reality, technology often becomes just as much or more of a distraction to quality work as anything we ve struggled with before. Sarah points out that before we ask if we re working smarter we need to understand the way the human brain is wired to work and the limitations that wiring brings. Her suggestion is that we optimize our capacity for what it is rather than push it to be more than is possible and that as a result, smarter work will happen. It s a hard concept to explain in a paragraph so make sure you listen to what Sarah has to share on this episode. Why the path to gender equality is not so clear cut. Based on writing Sarah Green Carmichael has done for the Harvard Business Review, Dan asked her about her current thoughts when it comes to gender equality in the workplace and in the business world in general. Her perception is that it s not so much an issue of a glass ceiling anymore, but rather like a glass obstacle course. Women press forward with dedication and professionalism but run into obstacles that pop up along the way – and it s not always easy to know if those barriers are because of sexism or have more to do with people in the process who are simply jerks who are hard to work with. But she s got some great advice for women about how to navigate that obstacle course, so be sure you take some time to listen. Sarah s a generous woman who wants to help you succeed – no matter if you re a man or a woman. Personal development needs to take more into account besides your speciality. Did you ever consider that in order to stoke your creative fire you need things that are outside your discipline or area of expertise? Sarah Green Carmichael suggests that we need to fill our personal development plan with those other thing that seem unrelated but that serve to broaden our perspective about life and the world we live in. It gives us a wide angle view of everything when we do – including our particular area of specialization. You can hear more great insights like this on this episode of Converge. All business and personal development resources are NOT created equal. As you know, there are lots of tools out there to help you on your road to success. But discerning which are truly worth your time is tricky at best. It s always good when you get a glowing recommendation on a resource from a trusted friend or mentor. We hope that this episode of the podcast serves as that for you. Dane s conversation is with Sarah Green Carmichael, an editor at the Harvard Business Review – an online and offline publication that Dane believes is the cream of the crop when it comes to business resources. You ll hear Dane highlight how the HBR has been beneficial in his own career and why he thinks every creative or entrepreneur should consider a subscription to the publication. His guest Sarah also shares how you can make the most of the HBR free options as well, so there s something for everyone on this episode of Converge.
