A theme we keep coming back to in the Management Café is the importance of context. In each situation there are many variables that influence what happens. For example the company culture, our manager, our team, the particular task and our own capability. Sometimes we have to accept that the current context is not good one for us and we're not going to perform at our best. This can be hard to reconcile, many of us have an expectation that we can handle all challenges. But this realisation, that the context isn't right for us, also brings opportunity. The opportunity to be patient and understanding of ourselves (or others). The opportunity to change the context. Or the opportunity to save ourselves the wasted effort and pain from trying something that will never succeed in that context. So... how do you identify the context that works for you? And can we make progress even from the situations which don't work? Join hosts Tim Burgess and Pilar Orti for coffee and find out! 00:15 mins In episode #74 Pilar shared a story of how a change of context, in this case working with a different team, improved her performance delivering training. 3:30 Acknowledging that the context isn't right for us can open the door to trying something different. 4:30 Tim had an experience recently with a colleague who decided that the organisational culture wasn't a good match. And so they made the decision to leave. This freed the person, and the organisation, to move forward. Pilar references Laszlo Bock's book "Work Rules" and how he incorporated this into the culture at Google. If someone wasn't performing well, then you could work with them directly but also change the context - maybe a different part of the organisation. Or maybe they were best suited to a different organisation. 6:25 Unfortunately companies and employees can sometimes misrepresent or misinterpret their preferred context during the hiring process. Ideally we'd be aware of what environments work best for us and aim for companies and roles that can accommodate us. 7:45 Things can also be quite different to how they appear on the surface. Pilar talks about a case study of a distributed company with a very flat leadership structure. However this organisation had an unofficial hierarchy and a founder dynamic that meant employees struggled to be heard. 10:00 How to identify the context that works for you? It's a big question, especially early in your career. Tim suggests that even a process of elimination, a trial and error process of identifying what doesn't work, is still good progress. 11:15 This is hard to recognise in the moment. But with hindsight we can make sense of what was or wasn't helpful to us. 12:50 We can save ourselves a lot of pain and wasted effort by understanding what will and won't succeed within our context. Pilar shares an anecdote of someone who tried to apply a productivity initiative within an organisation only to violate a cultural norm. This can be one of the big indicators that a context isn't right, when our vision of change is vastly different to the organisation's. We might need to find a new place to work! 16:20 Tim remembers a time when he badly misread the culture of his workplace because his manager had done such a great job of shielding him. A painful lesson which resulted in him being out of a job within 6 weeks of his manager leaving. 17:30 Nini Fritz of The Work Happiness Project shared something that helps her identify when it's worth applying efforts to bring about organisational change. When we see people share our desire for the outcome but they are struggling with implementation, we have the best chance to improve the context. What about you, dear listener? Is this something you think about? How can you tell when the context is right or wrong for you? We'd love to hear from you!

The book explores the unique organizational culture and the unconventional approach to management practiced at Google.The book starts by highlighting the importance of hiring the right people for a company. Bock emphasizes the need to focus on attributes like learning ability, problem-solving skills, and leadership potential rather than only looking at experience and credentials. He also advocates for creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, as different perspectives can lead to better decision-making and innovation.Next, Bock delves into the importance of giving employees autonomy and trust. He argues that micromanagement stifles creativity and motivation, so leaders should provide clear goals and guidelines while allowing their team members to work independently. Google encourages this through initiatives like "20% Time," which gives employees a portion of their workweek to pursue their own projects and ideas.The book also emphasizes the significance of ongoing feedback and effective communication. Bock believes that regular check-ins, coaching, and candid conversations between managers and their teams are crucial for personal and professional growth. He provides practical advice on how to conduct performance evaluations and deliver feedback in a constructive manner.Furthermore, Bock discusses the significance of creating a supportive and positive work environment. He encourages leaders to foster psychological safety, where employees feel comfortable taking risks, sharing ideas, and challenging the status quo. Google focuses on well-being programs, such as

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The (Allegedly) Best Business Books, published by Joseph Lemien on September 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Epistemic Status: Mostly my own subjective opinions. You should read this as though each statement has a hidden "in my opinion" or "I think" attached to it. TLDR: I've read a lot of business books, and here I share my impressions of some of the most popular ones. Some are definitely worth reading, depending on what you are looking for and what you already know. There are also several which I recommend avoiding because reading them would be a waste of time. Intro I read a lot, and I often find myself interested in business books. While these books are sometimes directly related to business and can help you be a better manager/leader/employee, some also can help you with self-control, decision making, or other areas of life. This is especially true if you are interested in increasing your competency in some area of life that can be applied to work. Thus, regardless of whether you want to be effective in altruism, in egoism, or in something else, these books might be helpful for you. (I put this together fairly quickly without having anyone review it, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are some typos or other simple errors in it. Please do let me know if you notice something like.) "Business book" is an odd genre. There are several different types: Sometimes it is a sort of curated memoir or biography, either of a company or of a person (like Shoe Dog, or The Ride of a Lifetime) Sometimes it is an attempt to distill and portray the underlying ideas behind a person's success or failure (such as Winning, or Billion Dollar Loser) Sometimes it is moderately good information but it could have been a 5- to 15-page essay instead of a 200-300 page book (The Checklist Manifesto and Measure What Matters both spring to mind) Sometimes it is a slightly more objective/valid/rigorous attempt to share best practices, either as a result of research or experience (First, Break All the Rules is a decent example, as in Work Rules!) Sometimes it is more of a general self-help or self-improvement book that happens to be applicable in some professional contexts (such as What Got You Here Won't Get You There, and Never Eat Alone). Sometimes it is a summary of research, taking years or decades of scientific investigation and making it palatable/digestible to a popular audience (like Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, and The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business) Many of the business books I've read didn't provide me with much value. So what should I do? Well, I'm going to offer my perspectives on some of the most popular and well-known business books so that the people reading this can avoid the bad ones and steer toward the good ones. I'll only write a few sentences about each book, but if you have specific questions about any of the books, feel free to let me know and I'll try to elaborate a bit more. I'm not being particularly scientific about this. I've found a few lists of "best business books" on Goodreads, looked at which ones I've read, and shared my opinions on them. I'll exclude a few that aren't very related to business, but I'll generally try to cast a fairly wide net. I also should note that I am not really doing research for these beyond skimming some reviews to refresh my memory, so most of what I write is from memory, from my notes, or from cursory Google searches. I hate that I feel the need to include a caveat, but this is the internet, so here it goes: just because I dislike a book and you like it, does not mean that you need to get angry and write impolitely. If you loved a book that I hated, that is okay. If you hated a book that I enjoyed, that is okay, too. If you have useful or interesting perspectives to share, please share ...

Episode #166 // Debate is raging about the merits of remote work versus on-site colocation, exposing some real issues for leaders. One of the lighter discussions is on whether people should be allowed to turn their cameras off during Zoom meetings. This has generated some interesting debate in the wake of a research study published recently in the Journal of Applied Psychology.I released an episode a couple of months ago that deals with a few of these types of issues — Ep.154 Return to Work Rules — in which I developed a framework to guide you through the decision-making process. In this episode, I go a little deeper into some of the ways these issues can affect you and your people.I address the Zoom question, in typical “No Bullsh!t” fashion; I give a comprehensive example of what can happen when you let your people take on an air of entitlement; and I give you some rules of thumb for delivering the best outcome for your organization, while still maintaining critical relationships with your people.

In this episode of our Global Solutions series, Pietro Straulino-Rodríguez, Carlos Colόn-Machargo, and Shir Fulga address laws regarding remote work in Canada, Mexico, and Latin American countries. The speakers discuss several topics associated with remote work, including workplace safety, employee privacy, the provision of equipment, and expense reimbursement for utilities (e.g., internet service). In addition, the speakers cover the various wage and hour issues involved in tracking employees' hours, paying overtime compensation, and engaging employees only when they are scheduled to work. (Note: In the time between the recording of the podcast and its airing, the Ontario government introduced a new bill entitled Bill 27, Working for Workers Act, 2021, which, if passed, would mandate the implementation of “right to disconnect” provisions under the Employment Standards Act, 2000.)

Human beings work more than they do anything else in life. This fact is a great reason to pursue an enjoyable occupation; the kind of work that brings a feeling of accomplishment, pride and if you are really fortunate, a sense of freedom and joy. So why do so many employees see their jobs as just a paycheck or a means to an end? Why do good workers stay in dehumanizing jobs with dysfunctional management and toxic cultures? A handful of the world’s companies have cracked the code on workplace culture. Not surprisingly, Google is one of them. The world’s companies continue to study Google’s culture and ask, “Why are Google employees so happy?” “How does Google create a fun environment for its people?” “What can I do in my own organization to replicate Google’s success?” Laszlo Bock, Google’s innovative Senior Vice President of People Operations, offers his best answers to these puzzling questions in his book Work Rules! Bock shares valuable insights and experiences from 15 years as a leader of Google’s strategy to attract, develop and retain the world’s top talent. He credits Google’s distinctive management philosophies and its unique approaches to people, culture, talent and leadership as the reason why Google is recognized as the most sought-after place to work on the planet. Bock draws on what he believes to be true and the latest research in behavioral economics and human psychology and asserts that any team can be built around the same principles Google has used to become a dynamic workplace filled with happy, creative and productive employees. Work Rules! is a simple playbook for leaders and organizations to strike a balance between creative freedom and structure that generates success in the quality of life as well as market share. And it is easier than you think. Bock himself even admits it’s not rocket science.
A Winning Segement: 3% GDP growth, Work Rules back for Welfare
Note from the New Tech City team: Hello! As you'll hear above, we're renaming our show, and we want your help! OK, on with the regularly scheduled podcasting... In 2014, only 30 percent of all Google employees were women. Break the numbers down farther, and only 21 percent of Google executives were female; in technical jobs, only 15 percent. The numbers are even worse for African Americans and Hispanics — and not just at Google, but all over the tech industry. Diversity is a big gaping hole for the companies who claim to be solving the world's problems, and it affects user experience of their products for at least half of the planet's population. So we wanted to go beyond those pretty charts and mea culpas to find out: What are the people ingenious enough to optimize plate size in their company cafeterias actually doing to address the problem baked into our culture? Laszlo Bock, head of Google's People Operations (aka HR), and author of a new book called "Work Rules," gave us three examples of tactics they've have been trying to shrink the gender gap. We're very curious to see how well the new numbers bear them out. 1. Unconscious Bias Training. Googlers have to go through a training about diversity that starts with optical illusions — two things that look the same, but measured separately, really aren't — and moves on to more concrete workplace scenarios. The idea is, everyone has errors in their judgment. It's not pointing fingers. "If you go to somebody and talk about diversity or gender issues, the typical reaction is 'Well, I don't have a problem,' or 'Well, I just disagree.' And then there are a bunch of people in the middle who are like 'Oh my God diversity training? Do I really have to spend time on this?'" Bock says, "If you talk about 'we all have these biases,' it totally short circuits this." 2. “The nudge.” Engineers at Google usually nominate themselves for promotion. Women — surprise, surprise — weren't nominating themselves as often as the men around them. So Alan Eustace, the person who was in charge of engineering at that point, decided to send a little email saying simply, "We've noticed that women aren't nominating themselves and, hey, you should be!" It worked, Bock says, and way more women got promotions. "We did that for about three six month periods and then Alan forgot to send the email. And the rates went back down," Bock says. Just call it nudging, not nagging. 3. Extend family leave. Women were dropping out of Google at a much higher rate than men were after having a kid. So, Google extended its family leave policy from three months to five months. "This is one where we stumbled into it because it's the right thing to do, and we were fortunate to find the data supported us afterward," Bock says... and women who had been leaving at twice the rate of men before the change, started leaving at the same rate as men. The rate dropped by 50 percent." Another surprise? Paying more for maternity leave saves money. The cost of finding and replacing a good-to-average employee is much, much higher than two extra months of leave for a new parent, Bock says. Google is, of course, the kind of company that can afford to run tests on happiness at the office. So we want to know: For those of you who work with fewer free snacks, what do you think needs to happen to solve gender issues at the office? Let us know in the comments below.
