I Started Letting My Children Get Bored. Then, Something Amazing Happened. As a proud dad to two young children, I love my kids. Most of the time. But there's a specific set of circumstances that proves especially challenging for my wife and I: going out to eat with friends--who don't have kids. Whenever we'd head out to a restaurant, it was almost impossible to have a conversation. Basically because after a few minutes, we were always faced with the same complaint: "I'm bored." So, like many other parents I know, we'd resort to what we knew would keep them occupied and give us the best opportunity at salvaging the evening: We handed over the iPhone. I always felt a little guilty doing it, like I was cheating. I'd even defend my actions to my friends, saying something like: "It's the only way we'll get to talk." Of course, it only started with these dinner outings. Once my children realized that there was the potential for instant entertainment, they started asking for the phone (or tablet) more and more. At the doctor's office: "I'm bored. Can I watch a cartoon?" Long car trips: "I'm bored. Can I play a video game?" Waiting in line, anywhere: "I'm bored. Can you give me something to do?" Many times I gave in...but deep down, I knew it couldn't be good. Then, about a month ago, I read this great New York Times article by Pamela Paul: Let Children Get Bored Again.

The Lesson Of The Kraft Heinz Nosedive: Radical Cost-Cutting Is Out, Brands Are Back Marketing budgets became a key target for the frugality drive of companies ever since the last recession. Last year, budgets had decreased from 12.1% of average revenues in to 11.3% the previous year, according to consulting firm Gartner. Predictably, with a focus on cost-cutting rather than growth, the financial health of corporate America is deteriorating. According to an analysis of the 2017 Fortune 500, 53% of corporates had experienced an after-tax profit decline, while only 47% saw profit growth. Marketing, once the driving force of America's consumer society, has been in retreat for over a decade.

Here's How Google Trains World-Class Managers (Using A Bit of Data Science Helps) Google is known for having some of the best managers in the world. Ever wonder how they train them? Let's take a look at Project Oxygen and how its findings helped Google's managers gain such a stellar reputation. What is Project Oxygen? Project Oxygen was a research study at Google that had relatively inauspicious beginnings. Developers at the company had long complained about bad management stifling innovation, so Google's People Innovation Lab decided to conduct an experiment: Its principals hired statisticians to evaluate the differences between high- and low-rated managers. Included in that analysis was data from past performance appraisals, employee surveys, and interviews. Some observers assumed that the Project Oxygen analysis would prove that manager quality does not impact individual team members' performances. Others thought it would impact individual performance. Unsurprisingly, the latter camp was right. Continued here Read TradeBriefs every day, to improve business results!
