Monthly Highlights, February 2022

Inefficient meetings and incessant emails can zap you of your energy, but did you know they’re also detrimental to your organization’s performance? Pointless interactions can affect your company’s productivity, speed, and innovation, but the right tools and techniques can help. This month, our featured stories look at why high-quality collaboration is key to getting work done, as well as why women in corporate America are exhausted, stressed, and burned out—and what leadership can do to avoid a talent crisis. Other highlights in this month’s issue include the following topics:

the connection between purpose and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics, and how to embed them in organizations’ lived experiences
how business leaders can respond to the three-phase ripple effect in the economy
how companies can rebuild their price-negotiation capabilities and long-term resilience
the five trends shaping the sporting-goods industry in 2022
