Welcome to episode #25 of Heads Up!, a weekly podcast summarizing research, writing and retweets that I think communicators will find interesting.

Here are this week's stories:

  • Our Biases Undermine Our Colleagues’ Attempts to Be Authentic (Tina Opie and Edward Freeman)
  • Does Diversity Actually Increase Creativity? (Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic)
  • Want Your Employees to Trust You? Show You Trust Them (Holly Browser, Scott Lester & Audrey Korsgaard)
  • How to Become A Master Storyteller (Clifford Jones)
  • 5 Acts of Appreciation That Drive Employee Engagement, According to Science (Marissa Levin)
  • Why MailChimp Doesn’t Let New Hires Work For Their First Week On The Job (Marti Wolf)
  • How Enterprise Social Chat Feeds Into Productivity (Andrew Pope)

But I don’t want this to just be what comes across my screen. If you see things you think I should talk about here, share them with me. Could be a new infographic. Or a great case study. Perhaps a webinar. Send a Tweet to @learnicology or an email with the link to headsup@learnicology.com.
