- #82: Gallery boost for your business is no team building time-waster
Trying to make sense of visual art is a good way of exploring perceptions and practicing to see differently.

This cubicle shows how much you respect your employees and visitors, and how much they respect your company.
1 min - #80: We will feel nice if you stop being a nice boss
Can a nice boss really make a difference? Will it boost your confidence, your performance, your commitment? I don’t think so.
1 min - #79: Be warned, your smiley face can trigger my glaring frown
Researchers have shown that it can backfire on you to make positive statements about yourself, which you don’t really believe. I think the same happens when someone who sprouts can-do affirmations to boost his aura triggers my nonsense detector.

People in the same context may experience it differently.
1 min - #77: A trade in noisy disagreements is not a meaningful debate
What happens in Washington is not a debate.
1 min - #76: It’s time to change your default setting

1 min - #75: How to prevent unintended thinking consequences
It’s wiser to sound foolish before than look stupid after.

You must be able to imagine the future and to explain how best to act today to prepare for that future.

About NonsenseAtWork
From the publisher's feed
Boost your career and success by learning to deal with the nonsense of pleasing a boss, playing nice with colleagues, making subordinates productive, and living a life. (Why should you learn to deal with nonsense at work? Because nonsense stops you from being successful. Nonsense is always at work. It never stops. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there is always some sense in nonsense, if you look for it. And if you are willing to look for it, time and again you will find that you can make the nonsense at work work for you.)
