The best employees Mark Cuban has hired aren't the ones with unwavering confidence or sharp business acumen. "For me, the number one thing is you reduce stress rather than create it," Cuban, 66, told CNBC Make It at an event announcing his AI partnership with Google. "There's a lot of people that are just a whirlwind and everything seems to be difficult, causing a lot of unnecessary stress." Research has shown that stress seriously impacts productivity and job performance, and it's estimated to cost American businesses more than $300 billion every year. With all this in mind, Cuban said, "the greatest value you can offer a boss is to reduce their stress."

Paris CNN —Days before taking part in the Paris Olympics, Tom Daley already felt like he had won a gold medal, such was his joy at having his kids at the competition with him. On Monday, the British diver got his hands on an actual medal, too, winning silver alongside partner Noah Williams in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform. That marked the fourth medal of Daley’s long Olympic career, dating all the way back to the Beijing Games in 2008 when he competed as a fresh-faced 14-year-old. “It’s the happiest I’ve been in diving in all these years because diving wasn’t necessarily my top priority,” he told reporters. The silver medal adds to the gold and two bronzes that Daley already owns, but the 30-year-old has many titles besides Olympic medal winner.

☆ This type of employee is more prone to burnout, says Ivy League stress expert—here's why
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-13 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

You don't need to hate your job to experience burnout. For her new book, "Burnout Immunity," Wiens interviewed hundreds of people working in high-stress environments, including hospital employees, police chiefs and financial executives. She found that the people at the highest risk of burnout aren't just those with demanding jobs — they genuinely love their work and routinely go the extra mile. While identifying yourself through your work isn't necessarily bad, it makes you vulnerable to burnout if you make too many personal sacrifices and lose sight of your own self-care. Much of the same vulnerability to burnout exists in people who are passionate about their work and prioritize their employer's needs and goals over their own, Wiens notes.

☆ If you do these 3 things when you're stressed at work, you have higher emotional intelligence than most
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-02 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Research dating back decades has found that emotional intelligence is the greatest predictor of success in the workplace. Having a high EQ can also help you manage stress and curb burnout, according to Kandi Wiens, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Master's in Medical Education program. For her new book, "Burnout Immunity," Wiens interviewed hundreds of people thriving in high-stress environments, including hospital employees and police chiefs who remained motivated and optimistic while working as first responders at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Wien suggests paying close attention to how you cope with stress to gauge your emotional intelligence at work. As Wiens explains in "Burnout Immunity," cultivating healthier responses to stress can prevent burnout, which stems from chronic, unmanaged stress.

☆ Ivy League stress expert: This 'underrated' skill can help you beat burnout and be happier at work–here's how
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-24 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Stress at work is inevitable — but embracing it can help you become stronger, smarter and happier, according to one Ivy League expert. According to Wiens, the "most underrated" skill successful people use to stave off burnout is shifting their stress response from "fight-or-flight" to "challenge." You're probably familiar with fight-or-flight, the stress response that can happen when you encounter a perceived threat. Wiens discovered this correlation by studying people thriving in high-stress environments, including business executives and police chiefs. Practicing this alternative response can boost your resilience in the face of stress and, in turn, lead to better health, emotional well-being and productivity at work – even during periods of high stress, Wiens discovered.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday remembered Byron Wien, a famed investor known for his annual "Ten Surprises" list that was considered an essential read by many on Wall Street. "He was an optimist, always on the lookout for new ideas and the young people who believed in them." Cramer said he always pored over Wien's "Ten Surprises" list, which was published for 38 consecutive years. To Cramer, some of Wien's ideas may have been "outlandish," but he said they always made him think. In the late 1980s at a dinner of managers hosted by Wien, Cramer recalled pitching a story about personal computers becoming as powerful as mainframes, thanks to new chips made by Intel .

People look at Apple Inc's new iPhone 14 as its models go on sale in Beijing, China, September 16, 2022. The iPhone 14, which went on sale last week, is the most repairable iPhone since the iPhone 7, which came out in 2016, repair advocate and tools vendor iFixit said in a blog post. "Apple has completely redesigned the internals of the iPhone 14 to make it easier to repair," wrote Kyle Wiens, founder of iFixit. The high-end iPhone 14 Pro models don't use the new, more repairable design, according to iFixit. This year's repair-friendly design on the iPhone 14 is in contrast to other iPhones and many Android devices that use glue and tight tolerances that make it more difficult to fix older phones.
