How To Approach The Boss When Conflict Arises At Work

4/25/2013

I'm quoted in Jacquelyn Smith's new article for Forbes on how to handle conflict in the workplace.  As Smith writes, "Sometimes the hardest part of your job isn’t the work; it’s the people."  She's put together a list of 10 great tips on how to approach your boss and find a resolution to get back to a peaceful and productive environment.
"There are the work-specific problems related to promotions, salary disparity, lack of recognition for achievement, or shared responsibility among a team. There are also more general issues with personal space and privacy; and then there are plain old personality conflicts"

I love these kinds of stories!  (And not just because I would love a piece of cake right now.)  This British fellow did a great job of leaving his position with the Border Force to pursue his dream of focusing on his cake business - he wrote his resignation letter in icing on a cake.  And he picked up a lot of press along the way!

Contracted Nation

Amid last week's disappointing news reports of slowed hiring and people dropping out of the labor force altogether, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also released info in its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary (JOLTS) that indicates people are quitting their jobs and picking up work in a freelance capacity.  This has been discussed in numerous other studies, including this recent one from Intuit that made headlines for claiming that by 2020, 40% of Americans will be freelancers.  This report also pointed out 19 other demographic, economic, social, and technology trends to watch over the coming decade, including interesting comments on the reduced costs associated with starting a small business, how seniors are "unretired", and the rise of niche markets.
