Here’s some key takeaways from this episode: 

Don’t just believe article headlines because it’s an high status publication

“What we do know is that what we’re about to discuss are big company problems. But presented as if they are problems for all organisations.”

Don’t buy into generic research findings

“Employees want equal opportunities for advancement. Employees want managers to recognize their strengths. These feel like generic statements that anyone would say”

Make sure you’re comparing like for like

“What they didn’t describe was how effective or useful they are. To make it simpler.. it doesn’t tell me the outputs of the efforts. So to me this article is comparing to different things ”
