Scholars who use jargon in academic writing are a little bit like men who drive Hummers: both are compensating for some kind of inadequacy. Across three studies, Brown and his colleagues found that people tend to use more jargon i…lnkd.in/gT3Z8V2a lnkd.in/gdxe-GxV

This exchange does not inspire a great deal of confidence in the leadership of the new Chief Twit.

Men and women each face significant challenges throughout their lives: some shared, some in greater measure, some unique. Last week, I attended an excellent presentation by Dr Amanda Green and Tia Van Heurck of the Movember Foundat…lnkd.in/gpmbm_jA lnkd.in/gCnKGHpM

Growth mindset -- a belief in the malleability of one's skills and capabilities -- has been a topic of great interest among psychologists and educators, ever since the seminal research of Carol Dweck. But how effective are #growthm…lnkd.in/gRkQANaH lnkd.in/gGg3gnxj

It's R U OK? Day again. I think it's a great initiative for raising awareness about #mentalhealth issues. And yet, I find myself a little bit dissatisfied about the implications of the occasion. My biggest concern basically boils down to the idea that it…lnkd.in/gg9PUine

"Shall I stay or shall I go?" was the question famously asked by the Clash. Many organisational leaders are rightly concerned by employee attrition, as departures are both costly and disruptive. Organisations like Deloitte have dev…lnkd.in/gAZdNuTN lnkd.in/gCfGUK-m
