I use to give my opinion and “pushback” when appropriate. Not encouraged in my current team so I got tired of the constant struggle and lack of appreciation and biased perception of performance. Now I just keep my head down.

It's good to create an atmosphere where people feel the freedom to chime in if they have an opinion that seems to go against the current. But it has to be managed so you don't get people being contrarian just for the sake of it. That's easier said than done, but over time one gets better at assessing what ideas have merit and what's grandstanding.

Some courses of action are so obvious, or are so low-risk that people can’t get stir up enough emotion to argue against them. Forcing people to disagree, or creating a contentious work environment can backfire. As others have stated, just creating a safe space for people to disagree and still be respectful will allow arguments to happen naturally. The other key is hiring a team with diverse experiences and backgrounds.

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete. Today, I received an invite for a coffee chat with a consultant. I’m of course going to do both, but the emails make it seem like they are almost two separate paths/disconnected processes. Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card.

I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
