The Daily Stat: Sunlight Makes You More Willing to Take Risks

August 30, 2013 Sunlight Makes You More Willing to Take Risks A study at an outdoor parking lot in Singapore shows that the sunnier the weather, the more severe are drivers' parking violations, and an analysis of 40 years of Major League Baseball data reveals that stolen-base attempts are more likely during day games than night games, says a team led by Nicholas Reinholtz of Columbia University. Humans' tendency to take greater risks while the sun is shining may have evolved as an adaptive behavior, the researchers say.

Management Tip of the Day: Leaders, Stop These Behaviors Now

August 30, 2013 Leaders, Stop These Behaviors Now If you want to empower, engage, or motivate others, don't just focus on increasing your positive behaviors. Pay attention to the things you need to stop doing at the same time. Here are three to avoid: Judgmental body language. No one likes perceived condescension. Watch out for scowling, furrowed brows, and quizzical or sarcastic looks (as if to say, "Are you stupid?"). While seemingly harmless, each of these subtle darts creates a considerable amount of relationship damage. Interrupting. It's almost impossible for people to feel safe if the boss takes up most of the airtime or cuts people off. Do more listening than talking, and let people finish their thoughts. Being inconsistent. It's hard on employees to wonder who is going to show up: "smiling, charming, funny boss" or "judgmental, intense, snapping manager." Try to keep your tone and personality consistent so people know what to expect. Adapted from "Which Behaviors Must Leaders Avoid?" by Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins.
