The goal, apparently, is to address the escalating youth mental health crisis by protecting kids from the isolation and self-esteem issues smartphones create. I don’t think phones are harmless, but I can’t help feeling skeptical about these policies’ real intentions.

Do you like to make others happy? Probably. Extending care and kindness feels good. Too much of a good thing, though, can cross a line. Kindness can become people-pleasing when you develop a habit of prioritizing the needs of others over your own, say Jan Yuhas and Jillian Yuhas, relationship consultants and coauthors of Boundary Badass: A Powerful Method for Elevating Your Value and Relationships.

These days, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is much more than just a buzzword. Your customers and investors are looking to do business with companies that support causes they believe in, such as health, education and environmental preservation.

Too often, people are promoted to leadership and then left alone to sink or swim. In fact, one survey found that 85% of new manager s have never received formal training. And it is an increasingly pressing issue, because leadership today is arguably harder than it’s ever been.
