Experts say phone calls can resolve conflicts better than digital communication. AdvertisementPicking up the phone really is the best way to figure things out when issues arise with colleagues, experts say. "And, I think, to me, it's an example of how often the best thing to do is just to pick up the phone." Phone calls, in comparison, allow for real-time, personal discussions "where tone and emotion are conveyed much more clearly," McLean said. But phone calls, in general, also help build better relationships in the long run, Sundaram said.

The U.S. economy added a whopping 254,000 jobs in September, nearly 100,000 more than economists expected. The unemployment rate, which was expected to hold steady at 4.2%, slipped to 4.1%. Wages also rose more than expected month over month. To be sure, the new data also has traders pricing a smaller quarter percentage point interest rate reduction at the central bank's November meeting. "Fed cuts should be slower and I continue to think (and the data supports it) that the current neutral rate is well above 3% (economy chugging along on 5% yields for over a year)," said Tchir.

AdvertisementIt's not rocket scienceRinne said some signs of a glossing workforce are people not talking about tough issues at all or talking only behind their manager's back. If that's happening, leaders need to do some self-reflection, Rinne said, and ask themselves if they've been glossing.

Zimbabwe is home to more than 84,000 elephants, Farawo said, around double its “capacity of 45,000,” he added.

LONDON — The U.K. economy continued to flatline in July on a month-on-month basis, flash figures published from the Office for National Statistics showed Wednesday. Britain's economic growth was up 0.5% in the three month to July, slightly below economist expectations and the 0.6% recorded in the second quarter ending in June. The U.K. economy had recorded modest but steady expansion almost every month so far this year, having emerged from a shallow recession at the start of the year. Finance Minister Rachel Reeves said the print left her "under no illusion" of the challenges faced by the U.K. economy. But she added that further movement in interest rates anticipated from the Bank of England could help ease wider growth pressures.
