How Do You Hire the Best People? (Work Management Roundup)
Welcome back to the weekly Work Management Roundup where we bring you the week's best reads in business, work, productivity, and management. This week, we take a look at startup hiring and how the search for the best is fraught with the best intentions but because we use the same old playbook, we often overlook more obvious ways to find the best, most creative talents. Plus we have tips on pitching to investors, and strategies for being more creative. Read on! We Hire the Best, Just Like Everyone Else (Coding Horror): Interesting opinion piece by Jeff Atwood on how all startups say they're hiring the best and yet, statistically speaking, 80% of those startups will likely fail... so how do you measure "the best?" And how do you ensure you don't turn away people just because of hidden biases? Perhaps the objective should be: hire the nuttiest risk junkie adrenaline addicted has-ideas-so-crazy-they-will-never-work people no matter where they are in the world? You Must Chill! 4 Ways to Keep 'Social Road Rage' Out of the Workplace (Entrepreneur): If you've ever argued about politics on Facebook, then you know what "social road rage" is. But how do you keep this type of incendiary misunderstandings from happening at work? Here are 4 tips for communicating and especially delivering feedback online. Creative People Say No (Medium): A Hungarian psychology professor once invited 275 creative people to be interviewed for a book he was writing. And a full third of them said "No" -- often with the best responses possible. The truth is, we have to say No to some things in order to stay creative for our real priorities. Tips for Producing the Best Investor Pitch (Tech.co): Here are three major tips for when you're ready to pitch your company to investors — based on what top VCs and successful entrepreneurs advise other young companies. If you want your team to work at velocity, then Andrew Schrage, CEO & Co-owner of Money Crashers suggests: “Clearly designate who is responsible for each segment of your project. Your staff needs to know exactly who is in charge of what, regarding the project in question. That way, they’ll know who to go to for help and who to follow up with as they move towards project completion.” #wrike Copy and paste the URL into your browser to read more tips for teamwork in the full blog post:------->>>>>>> http://bit.ly/18TeamTips A photo posted by Wrike (@wriketeam) on Feb 25, 2016 at 6:47am PST More Work Management Reads Think About This: Top Agile Marketing Resources: 50 Examples, Training Resources, and More (Docurated) Google Ventures On How Sketching Can Unlock Big Ideas (FastCo Design) The Rise, Fall, and Rise of Bitly: How a Free Link Shortener Became a Real Business (Medium) Go Try This: Become a Super Connector: How to Work With 1,000+ Influencers (Sumo Me) 3 Super Simple Gmail Hacks to Boost Productivity Now (The Next Web) 10-3-2-1-0 Formula to Get More Done (Early to Rise) Browse The Work Management Roundup on Flipboard If you use Flipboard on your mobile device, then you can check out these links via The Work Management Roundup magazine.

What Makes a Great Team? (Work Management Roundup)
Welcome back to the weekly Work Management Roundup where we collect the best links to articles on work, productivity, teams, and management.

3 Enhancements to Custom Fields for Better Work Management
In December, we introduced the ability to add Custom Fields to folders in Wrike. We've now added three new capabilities to help you get more from Custom Fields. 1) Duplicate data from Custom Fields — To make it easier to use Custom Fields in project templates, we've added an option to copy the values in custom fields when duplicating a folder. 2) Rollup Custom Fields in summary views — When viewing a parent folder, you can now display custom fields from subfolders. For example, inside your Marketing Team folder there is a subfolder for Marketing Campaigns, where you've have added a custom field called 'Priority'. When viewing the parent Marketing Team folder, you can now select to display the 'Priority' field that is part of your Marketing Campaigns child folder. 3) Join and merge fields — Sometimes users will create the same custom field in different projects. Originally, when these projects were combined into one view, each of these custom fields would be shown side-by-side even though they're intended to be the same field. For example, a budget field could be added independently to three projects and when combined into one view there would be three separate fields for budget. Now: If the fields have identical names, Wrike will now automatically join these fields into one, combining the data from each. If you don't want to merge these fields, you can easily undo the auto-merge. If the fields have different names (e.g. Budget, Planned budget), you can also manually merge fields into one column by highlighting each of the fields you want to merge and then selecting 'Merge field' from the column drop down menu. If there are values for the same task in both fields, none of the data will be lost. The data from the first field will be shown and you'll see an alert indicating the value from the second field and if you wish you can undo the merge or overwrite the data from the first field. We hope these enhancements help you get even more out of your Custom Fields. Stay tuned for more improvements to Custom Fields and Table View — coming soon!
Startups: How to Do PR, Find Investors, & Deal with Failure (Work Management Roundup)
Welcome back to the weekly Work Management Roundup, where we bring you the best reads from around the web on productivity, work, and management. This week, we shine a spotlight on startups: how to do PR before you launch, how to find investors, what to ask job candidates, and even how to deal with failure. Read on! 10 PR Strategies to Follow When Launching a Startup (Pressfarm): You don't just launch on the day itself, you need to prepare weeks before. This article walks you through 10 steps to do BEFORE the official birth of your startup. This Is Why So Many Entrepreneurs Can’t Find Investors (Fortune): In this opinion piece by Wrike CEO Andrew Filev, he argues that startups should move away from asking for investors in order to finance their product development. Instead, new companies should bootstrap until their product gains an audience and some traction before seeking funding. We Got 10 CEOs to Tell Us Their One Killer Interview Question for New Hires (Quartz): While some of these questions resemble the eternal favorite "Where do you see yourself in five years?", there are a few that are unique. Whether you're searching or hiring, it's a good idea to take a look at what these CEOs consider the killer question that reveals the most about job candidates. Treat Failure Like a Scientist (James Clear): With each experiment a scientist does, every failure becomes a data point that eventually leads to the right answer. Therefore, when failure comes, instead of sobbing in the pouring rain, roll up your sleeves and try again. The Quarter of a Trillion Dollar App Bonfire (Medium): When 80% of the 1.2 million apps in the App store are considered "zombie apps" because they have so few users, it prompts the question: how did there get to be so many? The simplest answer: developers built their apps without first figuring out if there was a real audience for their product. A team is united when it sees the same vision. Anant Mediratta, CEO & Founder of WiseCalvin says: “Get your team on the same page, aiming for the same goal. Sit down with the team and explain your short- and long-term goal, and be open to their suggestions. Discuss how you have planned to hit those goals, and then assign each of them their respective work.” #wrike Copy and paste the URL into your browser to read the full blog post: ------->>>>>>> http://bit.ly/18TeamTips A photo posted by Wrike (@wriketeam) on Feb 24, 2016 at 7:19am PST More Work Management Reads Think About This: Why I Quit Google Inbox (Medium) E-Commerce: Convenience Built on a Mountain of Cardboard (The New York Times) How People Learn to Become Resilient (The New Yorker) Go Try This: 7 Tips for Getting More Responses to Your Emails (With Data!)

A Brief Guide to Better 1:1’s — For Makers and Managers Alike (Medium): If you keep canceling or moving your 1:1, you're sending the message that work is more important than your people. Here are 8 tips to starting, and sustaining your one-on-ones with your direct reports.

Swearing in the Workplace: Announcing Part 1 of Wrike's 2016 Work Management Survey
Some people say sitting is the new smoking, others would say it's actually... swearing. In a time where working from home is common, polos and khakis are replacing suits and ties, and cursing like a sailor is seen as an expression of passion for your work, the fine line between work and home grows thinner and thinner. We decided to dive into the world of informal communication in the office and see how thin that line actually is. We ran a survey across 1,542 workers addressing language and informality in the workplace. Turns out, the majority of people do swear in the workplace (57%), however 41% feel that swearing is too casual and unprofessional. Here are some other findings from our survey: 49% say they occasionally swear in the workplace, while 25% say they swear daily More women (60%) admitted to swearing than men (55%), however men who do swear in the office do it at a higher frequency than women 94% say they swear more in face-to-face conversations vs. email or online communication 66% say they are more likely to swear if their boss swears, while 25% report "it doesn't matter" 33% would not consider accepting a position in an organization in which swearing is strictly banned Check out the complete findings from part one of our 2016 Work Management Survey: What are your thoughts on swearing in the workplace?
