Kaiser, president of Kaiser Leadership Solutions, Ryne A. Sherman and Robert Hogan, chief science officer and president of Hogan Assessment Systems, respectively. Such leaders are rare, they write, but the meta-skill can be developed through understanding how you behave in certain circumstances and getting comfortable with doing "what does not come naturally."

"By setting aside time for effective communication, using the right tools, having a clear agenda, and taking note of key points, leaders can ensure that their remote teams are getting the full picture, even on the smallest of screens," Arruda writes.

Hire Smart

"Stay" interviews can help employers identify worker needs Conducting "stay" interviews can help employers better meet staff members' needs and improve retention by giving people a chance to express concerns and provide insights about their work experiences. Dick Finnegan of C-Suite Analytics recommends conducting the interviews in person and one-on-one, and he says the conversation should center on particular workplace issues, employee input and ideas for improvement, not an individual's job performance.

New Order, 1986 (Steve Rapport/Getty Images)

New Order's "Blue Monday" was released in the UK 40 years ago today.

That said, genius doesn't exist in a vacuum, so here's a look at sources New Order drew from for the track, and some of the notable successors that were created in its wake.
