contributed post –. From consulting to construction at some point in your career, you are going to be asked if you can do a rush job. That is whether you squeeze a project for a customer into a, particularly short deadline. Of course, it really pays to know whether it’s smart to take on such a job, or whether it’s better to turn it down flat before you even get asked.

In the business world, when a hardworking, well-respected employee says, “I’m moving,” it can often be viewed as a critical blow.

Moving Forward Powerfully In-Spite of Limitations. Ever worked with someone who doesn’t remember to follow through on things? The person who makes it a habit to procrastinate and is often not organized. The one who waits for the last minute to work on that very important project? Ever wondered what causes a person to be this way? It’s easy to judge someone as lazy, and to even lose trust in a colleague who is unreliable or doesn’t show up fully.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

Most of us have gotten so used to clicking the little blue “thumbs-up” in Facebook or the little heart in Twitter that we don’t give it a second thought. It’s only when we start seeing repeated ads for oat milk or cricket bats that we realize something else is going on behind the scenes. Social media platforms have found a way to match the things we “like” with the things that advertisers are selling - even when the relationship isn’t completely obvious.
