Dr. Tracey Wilen-Daugenti, Vice President and Managing Director of Apollo Research Institute, was recently interviewed on the Going Home with Mark Cope show on News talk KXYL, where she discussed some of the findings from her new book Society 3.0: How Technology Is Reshaping Education, Work and Society. Dr. Wilen-Daugenti also shared ideas from her book in an article titled Global Economy will Transform Working and Learning, published on the Everything Small Business Journal website and in an article titled The Easy Way To Avoid Long-Term Unemployment Discrimination, posted on Business Insider. Dr. Wilen-Daugenti recommends a proactive strategy for coping with unemployment. She advises out-of-work individuals not to wait for their next full-time job. Instead, job seekers should remain active, productive, and visible to the community--for example, by volunteering for a board or a non-profit organization, or offering consulting services in their field. Findings from Dr. Wilen-Daugenti's book are also discussed in an article titled The Rise of Women In The Workplace Is Changing Everything published in Athens Report.

Women Negotiate for Win-Win Solutions
Women are both effective and ethical negotiators, according to current research by Apollo Research Institute. After interviewing more than 130 female executives and entrepreneurs about their negotiating style, researchers have determined that most women prefer a transformational, win-win approach to negotiation. Women tend to achieve solutions that work for both parties. They listen attentively and empathetically, and both share and elicit information about each side's needs, preferences, goals, and motivations. This style of negotiating not only produces better outcomes than a more competitive approach, but also helps build long-term relationships between parties, a vital advantage in today's networked workplace.
If you are a female business owner or corporate leader (director-level or above), please contact us to participate in our ongoing research on women in the workplace.
Future Work Skills 2020:
Cognitive Load Management
As if the daily deluge of email, help tickets, and IMs wasn't enough to send today's workers running for shelter, they may soon endure a new storm of information. Broader data harvesting via sensors, search engine alerts, and other inexpensive feedback systems will enable continuous information capture from unexpected sources.
Those who can transform these data into successful sales, inspired customer service, and proactive safety measures without becoming overwhelmed will provide special value to their organization. Cognitive load management—the ability to filter information for importance, while wisely maximizing cognitive functioning using various tools and techniques—will help workers adapt to this new reality. It's one of 10 crucial workforce proficiencies revealed in Future Work Skills 2020, a report by the Institute for the Future for Apollo Research Institute.
