How Freelancers Could Determine The Next Presidential Election | Fast Company | Busines... - 0 views

  • 53 million voting-age Americans
  • Politicos, meet freelancers.
  • More than one in three Americans (34%) is doing some type of freelance work
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • freelancers’ economic reality is so different from what most politicians understand. Freelancers are simultaneously entrepreneurs and precarious workers. They’re small business owners and workers. That’s why you’re starting to hear echoes of their concerns in the rhetoric of both Rand Paul and Elizabeth Warren.
  • Up-and-down income. Double taxation. No benefits. No safety net. And a government and culture that still doesn’t understand them or the way they work.
  • The bottom line is that this type of gig work is here to stay, whether we choose to embrace it or not.

  • As each of us votes with our feet and allies ourselves with new generations of institutions, we’ll abandon the old ones, leaving them to drift into obsolescence and setting in motion a reshaping of broad arenas of economic and civic life.
  • communities of practice to drive learning and performance improvement. Once again, deep personal relationships were a key to driving capability building. In addition to those essential relationships, it’s key that members of this community represent diverse backgrounds–critical for the creative tension that often arises from confronting different points of view. We’ve found through our years of research and writing that this mix greatly increases the potential for innovation.

Why Your Department Needs Social Media - Advice - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  • Social media is crucial not only because it provides a fast way to share information, but also because it makes faculty workloads more transparent.
  • What’s also crucial about Facebook and Twitter is that they make clear the fact that faculty workloads stretch beyond teaching. Announcements of the talks we give, the articles we write, the exhibits we organize, the fellowships we win, and our media appearances emphasize that some of us work on contracts in which about half of our time is supposed to be devoted to research.

Fostering women leaders: A fitness test for your top team | McKinsey & Company - 0 views

  • Part-time or other flexible work policies are a sore spot; they look great on paper, but few employees take advantage of them: McKinsey research has found that less than 1 percent of men or women did so at companies offering such options at the executive level. Clearly, policies that aren’t much used are great opportunities for management discussions, and while these conversations can be uncomfortable, they can also lead to new ways of working.
