Our weekly roundup of workplace news from around the web.
- Nuggets from a New York Times Q&A with Adam Grant about his new book, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World: “Even if we don’t see ourselves as supercreative or as wild nonconformists, we have insights every day about how the world around us could be better. It might be a better way of running meetings in your office that would be less mind-numbing. It might be a little twist on a product or a service.”
- Also in NYT, a reader asks “The Workologist” that age-old question, “How can I tell my boss to leave me alone when I take a vacation day?”
- HuffPo explores how to bring more humanity into the workplace: “In spite of all the technology enablement, the majority of office workers continue to ‘clock in’ to their white collar factories and sit at their soulless desk, looking at a computer screen and waiting for the time to pass when they can ‘clock out’ to get on with their lives.”
