How to Lay Someone Off with Care, Compassion and Dignity

A few days after being let go, a Philadelphia-based content marketing professional posted on LinkedIn : “Here’s what getting laid off feels like: You just got hit by a bus. And now, before you’ve had a chance to assess your injuries or even collect your stuff that’s scattered all over the street, you have to catch another bus. But do you really want to get back on a thing that just hit you? Are you even capable of walking to the bus stop? Do you have bus fare? Do you still have a wallet? You don’t know.” They go on to explain that the following period after being fired is spent in a daze, wherein “you don’t even know where you’re supposed to go or where you even want to go.” For some HR managers, knowing they have to fire someone brings an awareness that they are creating this disorienting and upsetting confusion for someone else, and that can be difficult. For others, they aren’t aware or concerned about those feelings; they’re just moving through their pile of tasks without much car...

Self-Healing Pain and Finding Inner Peace with Charles Clay

After incurring a catastrophic back injury during a snowboarding trip in 2008, Charles Clay felt hopeless. Time and time again, doctors told him that he would need to undergo surgery or he may never move the same again.

‘Power Doesn’t Come from a Title’

Amityville—the Long Island village where young Bill McDermott grew up, went to school and bought his first business. Today he’s the chairman and CEO of servicenow , but prior to this position, he served as CEO of SAP. Perhaps it’s the now-buffered but still evident “Lawn Guyland, New Yawk” accent in McDermott’s voice or the sheer earnestness with which the youthful 61-year-old infuses his conversation, but when he tells you that his most valuable business principles — Give the customer what he wants. Treat people with respect. Sweat the details .—were acquired via the small transactions of his youth, you believe him.

10 Ways to Stay Motivated From People Who Refused to Quit

Being an entrepreneur is rough. Things never go as planned and often take 10 times longer than intended. There are plenty of highs and lows. Many times, it feels as though it would be easier to just give up and throw in the towel rather than stay motivated.  These 10 driven entrepreneurs and members of The Oracles share the No. 1 tip they use to stay motivated, persevere and achieve smashing success in the face of challenges. 1.
