    Implementing a Results-Only Work Environment

    Results Only Work Environment, or ROWE, is a management strategy adopted by Best Buy where employees are paid for productivity, not just activity. A Results Only Work Environment focuses on achievement instead of solely being at work. Employees control their own work calendars and the focus is on how much work they get done, not […]

    5 Tips for Your Next Virtual Book Tour

    Book tours are a staple in promoting new books in the publishing world. An author is expected to travel to dozens (and sometimes well over 100) locations to promote their book, sign copies, and speak to fans.
