Denver is among the most popular destinations in the nation for people moving from one state to another, according to a report Thursday from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Stellar performance doesn’t excuse bad behavior. Check just how much damage one bad apple can bring to your team–and your bottom line. You know the type. They can’t work with others. They’re negative, volatile, and often disruptive. Some people call these toxic employees “bad apples.” Another way to think of them? “Hurricane” employees–because the damage they cause extends far beyond themselves. Will Yakowicz at Inc. magazine summarizes the cost…

There are a number of ways candidates can reverse engineer…

Unemployment is not easy… Especially when you’ve been out of a job for more than six months. You don’t know what day it is, you don’t have to wake up early (at least not for work), and you’ve developed a not-so-friendly relationship with your computer. Related: The 3-Step ‘Beat Unemployment’ Plan In the more extreme of cases, your bills may be piling up and you don’t know how to pay them or you’ve moved in with a friend or family member until you…
Fostering trust doesn’t have to be daunting. Employees are often suspicious and don’t trust management. Everyone has had a bad boss in the past, and that experience can taint future interactions, unless good bosses are sensitive to this baggage. You can’t take suspicion personally, but you do need to address it. Distrust can drain employee productivity and motivation. It can keep communication from flowing freely, too, which means you miss out on…
When you are busy running a business, providing a culture of communication is often not as easy as you would think. Working long hours day to day with the same people can breed complacency, which takes away from an environment of great performance. In a fast-growing, fast-moving company, providing ongoing feedback to your employees can fall by the wayside, but it is a critical component to better performance. The most obvious way to give feedback…

To some this sounds unlikely, so here are a couple of ways to get started and add this strategy to the search. In our increasingl…

The region, which also includes the cities of Boise and Salt Lake City, “extends from the foothills of the Rockies to the coastal ranges that shelter the Pacific Coast,” as the magazine defines the area. The Inland West region had the biggest population g…
We were setting up the classic “jumping bridal party” photo and I said, “When I count to three, everyone jump. “Wait,” someone said. “Do we actually jump on three, or is it one-two-three and then we jump, like on four?” “Jump on three,” I decided. As they moved into position I offhandedly said, “Three shall be the number thou shall count…” and almost everyone laughed. (; skip to the 1:30 mark.) Business Communication with recognizable quotes can…
What to do when a long-time career no longer satisfies. If these 5 characterizations describe you, it’s time to explore your next move: You’ve simply had it. You may have made all the right moves and been awarded great promotions and raises, but you still wake up one day realizing, “I don’t want to do this anymore.” There’s enough discomfort or meaninglessness in your work that you don’t want to continue for one more year (or one more day). The s…
Call it instinct, intuition or just a hunch — all smart business professionals know what it’s like when somethining simply feels right (or wrong). Making a decision based on this sixth sense may not seem wise at the time, but as any successful entrepreneur can tell you, the best business decisions aren’t always based on logical analysis. Paying attention to your hunches may give you an uncanny ability to dodge a bullet or grab the brass ring and…
