The ‘empathy advantage’ of great women leaders
A study by Associate Professor Management and Human Resources Jasmine Hue, published in The Journal of Applied Psychology, determined that bosses who were attentive to employees’ emotional needs helped workers stay engaged during the pandemic. Hu specializes in “servant leadership,” an empathy-driven management style uniquely suited to modern realities. While servant leaders can be any gender, the style fits with “female leaders’ stereotypical characteristics of being nurturing, relationship-oriented, and tending to emotional needs,” she says.

'Stupid' and 'insane': Some billionaires vent over tax plan
Elon Musk isn't happy. With a personal fortune that is flirting with $300 billion, the Tesla CEO — the richest person on earth — has been attacking a Democratic proposal to tax the assets of billionaires like him. Brian Mittendorf, the Fisher Designated Professor in Accounting, says this could lead to an increased utilization of donor advised funds, which allow for generous tax deductions.

The ‘Great mismatch:’ Why aren’t companies with record openings connecting with applicants?
Interviews with career and human resources experts, companies, business leaders and job seekers found continued concern about the economic impact on companies and individuals as jobs go unfilled. Some said the biggest problem is a shortage of qualified applicants. Others say good candidates are ignored or offered inadequate pay, and many people who need jobs still struggle with access to affordable child care and fear of catching COVID-19 at work. Professor of Management and Human Resources Howard Klein says there's a mismatch happening between the job search strategies of individuals and the expectations of employers.
