That's the exact kind of anti-collaborative person who Sarah Paiji Yoo tries to steer clear from when hiring new employees. And I think that is a must-have for every team member that we bring on," Paiji Yoo, the CEO and co-founder of eco-friendly cleaning product startup Blueland, tells CNBC Make It. "Folks who understand that a different set of inputs, a lot of times, lead to a better outcome." But the primary goal is simple: bringing people together to solve problems and learn something new," Gardner added. They know something different that I don't, and I can learn a lot from them.'"

McKissack, 63, is the founder and CEO of Washington D.C.-based construction firm McKissack & McKissack, which she launched with $1,000 from her savings in 1990. She churned through employees who weren't the right fit in her company's early years and the business struggled, she says. These three red flags stand out the most when McKissack is hiring employees or evaluating her current talent, she says.

There have been many changes at Meta and the RTO stance may cause more unrest, an expert told CNBC. Other tech firms that ordered staff to work in the office some or all of the time sparked backlash. AdvertisementAdvertisementMeta's stance on remote work shows it's talking tough, but given that other tech companies have faced a backlash over RTO directives, it's unlikely that Meta will have an easier ride. The new policy could be disruptive for Meta staff and affect trust within the company, according to one expert. "Establishing trustworthiness is an essential part of being a leader, and it takes empathy to create that trust," Gardner told CNBC.

The latest twist in Meta's return-to-office saga doesn't reflect well on CEO Mark Zuckerberg, says a Harvard University expert. Meta established a widely encompassing remote-work policy in 2021, before announcing its intention to move toward a hybrid schedule in June. Employees can still apply for full-time remote status, the memo noted. "Leaders must make sure that they're practicing transparency, and that their actions match their words," Gardner says. "Establishing trustworthiness is an essential part of being a leader, and it takes empathy to create that trust."

Of the many traits people bring to the workplace, one stands out as an absolute "trust breaker," according to a Harvard career expert. It's "taking credit for other people's ideas," says Heidi K. Gardner, a professional leadership advisor and distinguished fellow at Harvard Law School. And that inability to appreciate other people's contributions is a huge red flag for me." Teamwork is crucial for any company's success, and by extension, your own success, Gardner says. "If somebody takes credit for someone else's work or ideas, they are not trustworthy in that sense."
As Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to let go of 10,000 more workers in his company's latest round of layoffs, a Harvard University expert says she "takes issue" with the way some of them are being conducted — namely, over email. A bevy of ex-Meta employees have spoken with media outlets or posted on social media about getting laid off via email in recent weeks. Jennifer Haynes, a former Meta technical recruiter, filmed herself checking her email and learning that she'd been laid off in real time. On March 13, one day before Zuckerberg's layoffs announcement, a share of Meta stock was worth $180.90. This story has been updated to reflect that similar reports of recent layoffs though email have emerged from Amazon and Twitter.
These people shouldn't just have different knowledge domains. A groundbreaking study by Harvard Business School professor Boris Groysberg found that workers, especially men, often take their professional networks for granted. Communities created through Slack and similar messaging tools are a great way to spur virtual forms of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and knowledge distribution. Previously, she was a professor at Harvard Business School. Heidi earned master's degree from the London School of Economics, and a second PhD from London Business School.
