Read College of Business Dean Lynne Richardson’s latest column in The Free Lance-Star: Diversity and Inclusion.
Much is being written about diversity and inclusion these days. While the term “diversity” is probably not new in your vernacular, perhaps the word “inclusion” is.
We’ve been talking about diversity for decades. Originally, creating a diverse workplace meant ensuring that we had people with different ethnicities and genders represented.

Read College of Business Dean Lynne Richardson’s latest column in The Free Lance-Star: Having an Opinion with no Experience.
I seem to hear more and more stories about people expressing an “expert” opinion when they’ve not had personal experience with the subject for which they have an opinion.
It reminds me a bit of when people who don’t have children have all of the answers about raising children.

Read College of Business Dean Lynne Richardson’s latest column in The Free Lance-Star: Bad Boss.
Dear Bad Boss,
Your staff complains about you. You’re a micro-manager. Or maybe you’re a detached manager, showing little interest in your people or the work they do.
Or maybe you put such pressure on your employees that they feel stressed all the time and hate coming to work. Of course, because of this, productivity suffers.
Maybe you have incredibly high expectations that are unachievable, especially because you either don’t know to hire or you don’t train your folks. There is no possible way for the folks in your organization to reach your ridiculous expectations.
Whatever the reason your folks don’t respect you, I want to thank you.
