Leading Through Polarizing Times

On election day in the U.S. we talked with Harvard Business School's Frances X. Frei to discuss how we can best navigate the emotional and personal challenges of this moment.
In 2017, Frei helped Uber's leaders rebuild trust with each other and the public. The co-author of "Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader’s Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You," Frei researches how leaders can design their strategy, operations, and culture for organizations and individuals to thrive. She discusses with us: how to compartmentalize politics and work; a playbook for working with colleagues on opposite ends of the political spectrum; and the powers of inclusion and resilience in pushing forward.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We enlist the foremost experts in a wide range of topics, including career planning, strategy, leadership, work-life balance, negotiations, innovation, and managing teams. Harvard Business Review empowers professionals around the world to lead themselves and their organizations more effectively and to make a positive impact.

#HBRLive: Is Tesla's Patent Sharing a Good Idea?
Beep! Bzzzt. That incessant knockbrush! Work message notifications run nonstop all day, every day, and there doesn’t seem to be signs of stopping. It’s exhausting.Uploaded 02-11-23In today’s global, remote, WiFi-powered workspaces, the majority of async communication is conducted through email, direct message, or system notifications. Responding to this bottomless stream of requests can be time-consuming, not to mention stressful and mentally taxing. I needed some advice. How do I avoid getting burned out by work messages? What are some things I can do to set boundaries? And how do I create a healthier relationship with my inbox? I sought answers from Daniel Sieberg—Director of Innovation Marketing at Moody's Corporation, Co-Founder of Good Trust, and author of The Digital Diet. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by work notifications, Daniel suggests setting communication boundaries with your team clearly and early, reframing the immediate urge to respond, and digging into your notification features and settings to better manage incoming pings.
