What’s next for the eurozone?
The eurozone is in recession. It’s been struggling through energy price shocks, inflation, and political uncertainties.
Women are still less likely to aspire to leadership in business
Can the aspiration gap be explained by “self-stereotyping”? This is when individuals internalize gender stereotypes, voluntarily conforming to gender norms.
“For women, this can mean internalising a more communal stereotype, which leads them to view themselves as less similar to a leader. Unsurprisingly, such women do not tend to aspire to leadership positions.” - Ekaterina Netchaeva via the Conversation

The Open-Plan Office Is Dead
How do you lure people back to the office? Geoffrey James bounced three ideas:
Instead of making rigid rules like 4 days a week in the office, what if you changed the layout and allowed people to focus more? Private offices with shared common areas might be a good idea to consider.
A home office is associated with back pain, dining chairs, and small screens. How about offering ergonomic tables, high-resolution screens, or new chairs?
Lastly, communicating is time-consuming and expensive. Can you compensate people for coming to the office? Offer a discount on tickets, fuel contribution, or even shortened working hours.
