Join our Twittter/Pinterest conversation with Fashion Designer, Lando Ortega tonight at 6:30 (PT).

Lando provides us with his expert opinion on the following:

• Does fashion or style matter? Why/Why not?
• What kind of impact does styling and fashion have on women?
• How do we dress for who we really are (vs. who we wish to be) – body type, fit, style, fabric, drape…?

Please feel free to interject with follow up questions and thoughts after our guest has responded to the current question. Thank you!!!

Turn Enemies into Allies (#HBRchat)

Below is a link to the recent #HBRchat (Twitter discussion forum) with Harvard Business Review.

This popular weekly chat is moderated by @HBRexchange. One of the more engaging chats on Twitter.

If you have a moment to follow the transcript from yesterday’s chat to see how it works, we’ve provided a link below.

Yesterday’s chat was especially interesting in that everyone had varying perspectives on whether or not and how much rivalry affects productivity in professional teams. Good exchange by all.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

What 3P had to say:

@UneFrancofille @MikePWeiss re: competition should stay “on the field”. Separate professional from personal. #HBRChat

Rivalry is selfish; Your responsibility is to do what’s best for your entire team — not undermine it. #HBRChat

@svsashank : #Agreed. Leaders are obligated to create a culture of professionalism and integrity. #HBRChat

HBR:

Workplace rivalries can be so destructive, it’s not enough to simply ignore, sidestep, or attempt to contain them. Instead, effective leaders must turn rivals into collaborators—strengthening their positions, their networks, and their careers in the process. In fact, it’s important to think of these relationships not as chronic illnesses you have to endure but as wounds that must be treated in order for you to lead a healthy work life.

This week’s #HBRchat is based on the HBR article “Make Your Enemies Your Allies” by Brian Uzzi and Shannon Dunlap. http://hbr.org/2012/05/make-your-enemies-your-allies/ar/1

Q1. Have destructive workplace rivalries affected your career? How?

Q2. How can you redirect a rival’s negative feelings towards you?

Q3. Have you ever had success working with a one-time rival or seen others?
