I came across an HBR post from a few years ago that identified six components of great company cultures: Vision. Values. Practices. People. Narrative, and. Place. Um, no. That's like saying a beautiful home consists of four walls, a roof, and a door. All beautiful homes have those things, but they don't distinguish the beautiful from the ugly. Yes, how you design your workspace impacts your culture, as do the stories you tell internally and externally about who you are and what you value, but th

It was a perfect (if somber) example of how an event can create what PR pro Adele Cehrs termed a “ SPIKE ,” or a Sudden Point of Interest that Kick-starts Exposure, for a

In Zimbabwe, a safari group in the country is taking a lead role in responding to the death of Cecil the lion at the hands of a trophy hunter. In the U.S., meanwhile, American animal-rights groups are denouncing, in the harshest of terms, the popular lion’s death.
