TIAA CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett has four words of advice for anyone looking to be a better boss: Talk less, listen more. Each month Duckett, 51, hosts "jam sessions" with small groups of employees so they can share their ideas, concerns and perspectives with her directly. It can be hard to encourage people to speak candidly in front of the CEO, but Duckett says she has a go-to question she "always" asks employees to get them talking. By asking that one question, you "immediately connect" with your employees, Duckett said. Making "Coffee and T" a recurring meeting on her calendar has helped Duckett create a culture where employees feel "heard without judgment," she wrote on LinkedIn.

I spent some time alone after things ended, but by the end of 2012, I was ready to re-embrace online dating. Within a few years, my fellow millennials and I were reportedly spending 10 hours a week on dating apps. "Dating apps are designed to be a miserable experience," Stephanie Rodgers, the founder of the forthcoming dating app Verb, said. Increasingly, it feels like dating apps make things more monotonous and cumbersome to incentivize us to pay for upgrades. And while dating apps' cost in terms of harassment, threats, and violence is paid disproportionately by women, its financial cost is disproportionately paid by men.

The popularity of online dating has grown steadily over the past six years. According to the online data platform Statista, the online dating industry was worth $1.89 billion in 2019 and is predicted to grow to $3.15 billion in global revenue by the end of 2024. However, it's worth noting that the fall of traditional flirting isn't entirely dependent on the rise in digital dating. According to Paruolo, Gen Zers have a greater understanding of their preferences and boundaries when dating compared with other generations, which means they are more likely to form real emotional connections.

His poor dad earned a substantial income but always struggled financially; his rich dad became one of the wealthiest individuals in Hawaii primarily by running businesses. While rich dad wasn't educated in the traditional sense, he understood money — and agreed to pass on that understanding to Mike and Kiyosaki. The former, according to rich dad, will "shut down your brain" and create a "lazy mind," while the latter forces you to be solutions-oriented and get creative.

To the Editor:Re “‘Selling Out’ Isn’t an Insult to Gen Z” (Sunday Business, May 26):Francesca Mari captures the zeitgeist that we in the social sector are battling: Even as the world’s challenges are more visible than ever, the percentage of graduates putting their full-time energy toward tackling them isn’t growing. Not only do we need this generation tackling world challenges as soon as possible, but as Ms. Mari’s reporting points out, graduates’ early destinations shape the people they become. Research about the impact of the Teach for All network’s two-year teaching commitments shows dramatic effects on participants’ beliefs about the roots of inequity and how to address it. Before we blame the young people, let’s consider what we’re doing as a society to foster their sense of agency and intentionality about where to put their time and energy. As parents, influencers and educators, we need to foster choices that will shape the future we collectively want to see.
