It’s clear that managers play a key role in the lives of their employees at work and influence employee’s perceptions of their place of work.
Concurrently, an article published in the Huffington Post has outlined some of the best and worst management traits, looks at employee motivation and the creation of a ‘business culture of agility’. I’ve decided to react and summarise accordingly. Continue Reading…
Dev Randhawa discusses an expert’s thoughts on risk management.
I’ve decided to maintain a theme of being aware of taking risk this week, as I’ve also reacted to an article about the dangers of ‘low hanging fruit’ and summarised accordingly.

Dev Randhawa discusses management styles.
A recent piece in the Huffington Post’s management section has laid out three poor styles of management for start-ups – I’ve decided to look at them and see if they’d have any use in a sector outside of the start-up sector, which is mostly focused on the wider tech industry. Continue Reading…
Dev Randhawa discusses management.
If a recent article in Fast Company is to be believed, it appears that traditional management is facing some pretty stiff competition from new trends such as ‘distributed leadership’ and ‘holacracy’.

Dev Randhawa discusses likeability as a factor for CEO success.
Traditional wisdom says that ‘current financial performance’ often decides a CEO’s fate. But according to Forbes, in a poll of 286 organizations that have fired their CEOs, the most popular reason cited for taking this decision (at 31%) was ‘poor change management.’ This raises questions about what it takes to make a business a success. Does CEO ‘likeability’ play a role and if so, how large? Continue Reading…
