“By self-promoting, you look cold, not ideal to work with,” Dr. The hiring managers gave the dual promoter nearly 1.5 more points on a scale of 1 to 7 when it came to warmth, and ranked the dual promoter more than a point higher on overall impression.

One of the self evaluations described only the work of the individual the other took some credit while also acknowledging the contribution of the colleague. In one study they conducted, they asked a group of hiring professionals to evaluate two hypothetical co-workers who had completed a joint project and then written self evaluations that would be used to consider them for a role. VanEpps and his colleagues-Einav Hart of the George Mason University School of Business and Maurice Schweitzer of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania-wanted to see if the solution is what they call dual promotion. Researchers have referred to the trade-off as the “self-promotion dilemma.”īut Dr. When trying to decide whether to give credit to somebody, people often feel they have a trade-off between making themselves seem competent and coming across as likable.

Playing nice and sharing credit works quite well.” “You can instead brag about your strengths and accomplishments while also saying something positive about the skills and talents of other people involved, too.

“We don’t want people to shy away from an opportunity to highlight their accomplishments, but bragging can seem so off-putting and cringy,” says one of the researchers, Eric VanEpps, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business. It turns out that when it’s important to impress someone-say, in an interview for a new job or a promotion-simply bragging about your successes isn’t as effective as talking about both yourself and your team, the professors say.

While the results are promising in terms of government efforts to promote smarter growth that builds "in and up" instead of out, they also reveal that government could be doing more to facilitate redevelopment and influence its sustainability character, particularly in weaker markets.The Best Way to Brag About Your Accomplishments: Don’t Take All the Credit If you want your accomplishments to really sing, give someone else’s hard work a shout-out, a study finds Using property assessment data and cleanup records, the research finds that redevelopment activity has been extensive in both scale and character, particularly in Toronto where the real estate market has been strong. This article examines the character and extent of brownfields infill development that has taken place in three Ontario cities (Toronto, Waterloo, and Kingston) since the provincial policy shift in the early 2000s. In Ontario, Canada's most populous, industrialized, and brownfield-laden province, a suite of progressive policies and programs have been introduced to not only facilitate the assessment and remediation of the brownfields supply, but to also steer development demand away from peripheral greenfields and towards urban brownfields in a manner that considers a wider regional perspective. Abstract : The reuse of brownfields as locations for urban intensification has become a core strategy in government sustainability efforts aimed at remediating pollution, curbing sprawl and prioritizing renewal, regeneration, and retrofitting.
