The Constant Battle of Leadership: Balancing Empathy...

R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation;... ·

2024/10/24

As a leader, balancing kindness and empathy with being tough is one of the hardest challenges you’ll face. If you’re too empathetic, people may take advantage of your good nature, driven by their own self-interests. But if you’re too ruthless, you risk creating a culture that feels cold and uninspiring. The key is finding a balance between being firm and setting clear boundaries while also encouraging and supporting others. It’s a constant struggle, but embracing this balance is what ultimately

if you innovate and do anything that is novel, people will have no idea what it actually takes. They will think that they know what it takes based on what they saw on TV and they will make strong assumptions that you are not successful.Get used to people patronizing you, but you smileand you say I’m terribly sorry, but you don’t understand. And then you walk by them giving them a wink. You know that in a decade, they will wonder how you did it.

I Struggle to Do Good Research Without Seeking Status...

R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation;... ·

2024/10/22

I have to push against the constant desire for status. I desperately struggle with this.It’s an incredibly difficult skill to master. I deeply want people to “like” me and to prove that I’ve ‘made it’ in some way. But to do good research, I have to remind myself that those things don’t matter, and I need to slow down to do the right thing.This involves treating others with respect, and looking at the bigger picture. Creating a fairer, more supportive academic environment requires time and resources,

2024/10/22

#Academic research creates both misery and enjoyment. The joy comes from the misery.There’s something deeply satisfying about being dismissed by others.“Screw you, I will show you to all of you who dismiss my work or ideas.”That disregard fuels my drive, turning spite into energy. Spite is incredibly powerful.I want to quit “exercising” everyday — running and swimming sucks, but I say “screw you to the world, and do it anyway.”I will never prove to you my worth, but I certainly can use your snobbish

Why You’ll Never Be a ‘Winner’ in Academia—But You...

R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation;... ·

2024/10/21

In academia, we often measure ourselves by arbitrary standards: the school we attended, our accomplishments, or how others view us. It creates a world of winners and losers, where some are always seen as better based on superficial traits. The truth is, you can’t fix that system. Others will always see the world this way, and you can’t change their perspective.But what you can do is take time. Very few people take time for others, and when you do, even though it may seem like it harms your career,

R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation;... ·

2024/10/19

Life’s complexities don’t fit neatly into extreme categories, and trying to force them there is exhausting. Focusing on nuance and the gray areas is far more meaningful than living in polarized extremes. It’s time to embrace the fact that most things in life can’t be simplified into either/or—there’s so much more to understand in the messy, complex middle.

After two decades as an academic researcher, I understand that I will never be a good researcher.I’ve come to realize that I’m not cut out for the opportunism and ruthlessness that seem to drive success in this field. I’ve always felt a step behind, out of sync with what’s required to get ahead. I am more out of place than anything.Academia is an emotional career.The longer I stay, the more self-doubt I have.I “should” have left already, or should I?While the only thing that will allow me to keep

No one is coming to rescue you, especially when you're striving to make things happen. You'll often find yourself wishing for support that never arrives, and when you do take action, not everyone will appreciate it. The key is to push forward, relying on your own determination to keep going, even when the path feels lonely.

Being too productive in academia often scares me. Academic productivity for its own sake often leads to various issues. What is too productive? I don’t know, but I know that there are many choices that are made to get there.To truly understand what productivity means, you have to look behind the scenes. It's not just about hitting numbers; it's about understanding the context, what those numbers represent, and the hidden dynamics at play. Without that deeper insight, it’s easy to misjudge what

I’ve reached a point where academia no longer fascinates me as it once did. Now, I feel ready to step back and focus more on becoming an academic entrepreneur. The fear of stepping away to fully commit to the R3ciprocity Project has faded, and I no longer feel the need to play the academic game to impress others. My true calling lies in making the Reciprocity Project a meaningful tool for those struggling in PhD life. Research is tough, and without a platform like this, many will continue to

If you're inside the academic research profession, it often feels like you're working nonstop, leaving you puzzled about how successful people in the field manage it. From the outside, people often think academic researchers don't do much beyond teaching. Both perspectives are completely off the mark. To truly understand the demands of academic research, you need to step into the field and experience it firsthand.

Researchers Aren’t Paid to Think, They’re Paid to Write

2024/10/15

The expectation isn’t thoughtful reflection—it’s output. If you believe the job is about deep thinking, you’ll be disappointed. The reality is simple: your career is measured by how much you write, not how much you think. Success hinges on producing an enormous amount of written work. Knowing this upfront is key to surviving and thriving in academia. You get paid for publications, not contemplation.

2024/10/14

The reason most of us don't become billionaires is rooted in our very humanity. While the potential is there, and we can choose that path, many of us don’t because we are pulled by diverse human desires and needs that often lead us in different directions. Our emotional, social, and psychological drives shape the choices we make, sometimes steering us away from the relentless pursuit of wealth in favor of more immediate, personal satisfactions.

How do I know that I'm doing the right thing in scientific research and development? The honest answer is—I often don't. Understanding what's truly valid and reliable requires an extraordinary amount of effort and even then, certainty remains elusive. I've come to realize that science isn't so much about uncovering absolute truths as it is about convincing others that what I've done is legitimate.It's less about finding the "right" answer—which may be impossible—and more about continuously

Most people are afraid to act because they're terrified of what others might say, or they believe they don't have time, or they cling to any number of excuses. It's always the same old story. I used to be one of them.But if you want to make significant progress, you have to push through those moments when you don't want to do it, when it doesn't feel easy, and keep repeating every day.

As a business professor, I feel increasingly nervous when I see students with undergraduate education solely in business and economics. If we want to train good decision-makers, we must teach them that there's a bigger world beyond self-interested individuals and profit margins. We need to encourage students to pursue goals not just for profit but for the greater good.We are all just tiny parts of a complex system, and our actions have far-reaching consequences.

We often get mixed up in our level of analysis, believing that our local situation is the primary cause of the issues we face. In reality, it's the broader market forces or institutions that are creating these problems. This perspective shift encourages us to take a deep look at our circumstances and recognize that challenges we attribute to our immediate environment may actually be rooted in larger systemic dynamics. By understanding the true sources of our difficulties, we can better navigate and
