Welcome to #BestBlogs, the weekly curation of the world of work.
The latest ideas on organization life, personal collaboration and the politics of work from practitioners around the globe are collected here so you may become more effective, perhaps even more satisfied, in career.
Every week our themes emerge organically and this week our writers share their insight on being more effective in our professional life. What are the tools and choices we can make to be more human in a modern world?
