There are two types of micromanagers: those who are aware that they micromanage and those who are unaware that they are. This post is intended to assist leaders in recognizing the signs of micromanagement and providing strategies for more effective leadership. How to Determine Whether You're a Micromanager It's unlikely that your employees will accuse you of micromanaging. They'll either leave your department or complain. They may even inform your boss, but you will remain in the dark. You'll believe you're simply "checking in," but they'll believe you don't trust them. When you think you're assisting by stepping in, they'll see it as an intrusion. You won't know for sure if you're a "micromanager" unless your employees complete an anonymous survey or you conduct an honest assessment of your leadership behaviors, such as: An excessive desire to "check in" constantly changing course Controlling a process that mus...

Politicians, scientists, and environmental activists are meeting in Montreal, Canada, this week to negotiate a global agreement to protect the planet's dwindling biodiversity. Some of these discussions are expected to center on how to protect the plants, animals, and microbes whose genetic material serves as the foundation for life-saving medicines and a variety of other products. This is referred to as "access and benefit sharing," and it is governed by an international agreement known as the Nagoya Protocol. Delegates at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference, also known as COP15, will meet in Montreal to discuss how to update the agreement for the coming decades. They plan to look specifically at how marginalized communities, such as Indigenous Peoples, can benefit from the often lucrative therapeutics and cosmetics derived from resources on their land. This is becoming a more pressing question as rapid advances in genetic sequencing lead to breakthroughs in a vari...

The countries have brought a significant piece of their homeland to an international stage, allowing fans to partake in their cultural practices. With over 30 nations taking part in this year's World Cup, the field has become a melting pot of cultural expression once again. South Korea and Brazil, in particular, have made an impact by bringing a significant piece of their home to an international platform, allowing fans from all over the world to partake in their cultural practices. The World Cup, which is watched by millions around the world, not only allows teams to demonstrate their skills, talent, and sportsmanship, but it also breaks down cultural barriers. The cultural expression of the World Cup 2022 is diverse and captivating, whether it is in celebrating their victory, performances, or jerseys. It is not unusual for Brazilian players to break into a dance and demonstrate their intricate footwork. Tshabalala and four of his teammates performed the "African Macarena...

Thiago Silva, a Chelsea defender, returned to action for Brazil in the World Cup last night, in what will be his final World Cup as a player.

And his stats last night, as he helped Brazil knock out South Korea, demonstrated his clear importance to any team he plays for.

 If your partner doesn't want to have sex very often, there might be more going on than you think. Here are some things that might make you feel bad. Photo by Ketut Subiyanto Trouble with money Since money problems are a leading cause of breakups (here are some other signs you might be headed for a divorce), it shouldn't be a surprise that even the most happy couples can fight over money. Crystal Hollenbeck, EdD, a licensed mental health counselor in Orlando, Florida, says that if you don't deal with financial stress in your relationship, it can lead to negative feelings toward your partner, fear and anxiety, broken trust, signs of depression, and a lack of sexual desire. "Mixing finances, making a budget, and agreeing on financial goals as a couple will make the relationship feel more close, trusting, and safe." There is simply too much to do. It's hard to sit on the couch with your partner and watch a TV show or go to a nice restaurant for dinner without che...

A Clean Beach with Restaurants and Cafes Besides having beautiful beaches with white sand and clear sea water, at the beachside restaurant in Indrayanti, you can have a romantic dinner under the stars. When we got to Indrayanti beach, the sun wasn't up yet. Even though the wave was moving away, two sea snails moved slowly in a crack in the rock. A group of teenagers talked and posed for pictures every once in a while. In the west, it looked like three people were running around trying to catch the waves, while others were chilling out in the middle of the gazebo and eating fresh young coconuts with fruit. Some inns with a "back to nature" theme stand proudly at the base of the hill, while a stilt house and huts that look like traditional Papuan homes stand near the water. A yellow jet ski was stacked up in the corner of the restaurant. The beach with the rocky cliffs is on the east side of Sundak Beach. It has a different view than some of the other beaches in ...

Train cars are big, heavy, and hard to move around. They are notoriously hard to move to new places off of their tracks, and because of their strange shape, most people wouldn't think to use them for anything else anyway. But some creative people are turning old train cars into homes, offices, and even hotels in the spirit of recycling, green building, and shipping container homes. With the mortgage business in trouble and more people moving toward green housing, it makes sense to use train cars as homes. Like shipping containers, it's not too hard to convert your own car, as long as you have the means to get it to its new location. Cabooses seem to be the most popular choice for living in a train car, but many dining cars and sleeping cars are also being turned into homes. If you can pay between $8,000 and $45,000 for an old car, a few thousand more to move it and put it on your property, and whatever it takes in materials and labor to turn it into a home, you can have on...

One group of obese women in a study published in the journal Obesity ate 700 calories for breakfast, 500 for lunch, and 200 for dinner. Another group ate the same foods, but only had 200 calories in the morning and 700 calories at night (lunch stayed the same).  After 13 months, those who ate a big breakfast lost 18 pounds, while those who ate a big dinner lost only about 7 pounds. If you eat this one breakfast, you'll keep burning calories all day. photo by...
