  • Conflict avoidance starts with communication
    One way to minimize conflicts in the workplace is to focus on effective communication with your team members, writes Diane Helbig of Seize This Day Coaching. "Tell them the goal, your expectations, the consequences of meeting, and not meeting, those expectations, and your reasons for your decisions." When someone isn't doing a good job, explain your expectations once more, and ask for their input, she writes. Small Business Trends (7/3) LinkedInFacebookTwitterGoogle+Email this Story

Also, be respectful of reporters to avoid annoying them. SmartBrief/SmartBlog on Social Media (7/6) LinkedInFacebookTwitterGoogle+Email this Story

  • What the Affordable Care Act means for the health care industry
    It's hard to predict the full impact of the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the health care law, but it seems clear more customers will enter the health care industry, Tom Searcy writes.
