Quarterly financial reports are an important way for companies to communicate with the capital market, and they clearly affect firms’ access to debt and equity capital. However, the most scarce and sought after resource for many modern, cash-rich companies is not financing but people: human capital. For example, 27 percent of U.S. employees voluntarily changed jobs in 2019, costing firms an estimated $475 billion. For perspective, the total interest expense reported by public companies was $467 billion, indicating that the cost of voluntary employee turnover is comparable to firms’ external cost of debt. Total turnover-related costs are even larger when taking into account the productivity losses from employees who consider leaving but ultimately stay.

A new industry-specific analysis of data from the latest Women in the Workplace report, a McKinsey collaboration with LeanIn.Org, reveals a leaky pipeline from which women are falling out in greater numbers as they progress up the career ladder, resulting in significant inequality at the top. Consistent with previous years, women in financial services continue to experience a “broken rung” at the first step from entry level to manager—where they are significantly less likely than men to be promoted (for more about our research, see sidebar “About the research and findings”). At the same time, women leaders have taken on the additional responsibilities of supporting employees and investing in diversity and inclusion during the COVID-19 pandemic—but they aren’t being rewarded for this critical work.

Courage to become a leader
Arrogance is fear in disguise. Humility is courageous.
False humility lives like a flinching dog with its tail tucked between its legs. You lose your dignity.
False humility is betrayal of yourself. When you hide from your aspirational self, you extinguish yourself. You are less. The world is less.

In 2021, the renewable energy industry remained remarkably resilient. Rapid technology improvements and decreasing costs of renewable energy resources, along with the increased competitiveness of battery storage, have made renewables one of the most competitive energy sources in many areas. Despite suffering from supply chain constraints, increased shipping costs, and rising prices for key commodities, capacity installations remained at an all-time high. Wind and solar capacity additions of 13.8 GW in the first eight months of 2021 were up 28% over the same period in 2020. Many cities, states, and utilities set ambitious clean energy goals, increasing renewable portfolio standards and enacting energy storage procurement mandates.

In the semiconductor industry, it's not just a chip shortage slowing things down. A labor and skills gap is also making its mark. Even in the digital age, it is people that are essential to manufacturing. However, demand is far outstripping supply. A shortage of qualified semiconductor engineers is proving to be a systematic constraint on the industry’s growth, compounding supply chain issues caused by the global pandemic.

Numerous research studies have shown that over 70% of potential buyers are self-educating via Google searches, asking friends and colleagues for suggestions via social media, and reading freely available online content before they even bother to alert a salesperson they’re in the market for a product or service. And that’s important to you because until those invisible buyers decide to turn off their Klingon cloaking device, they’re what I call an Invisible Sale. They can see you, but you can’t see them.

How to not do anything stupid:
Young managers succeed by aspiration, openness, and NOT doing anything stupid.
Make a list of 10 stupid things you don’t want to do in the first 90 days of leading your team. Share your list with a mentor or coach. Be sure they have lots of experience. Here are a few suggestions.
It’s stupid to:
Think the same way about yourself.
Keep doing your old job in the same way.
Expect that you’re going to do everything right.
Jump right in before building relationships.
How to be smart:
#1. Show up with confidence, not arrogance.
Spend some time acknowledging challenges, but don’t circle the blackhole. What words will you use that express heart and belief?
#2. Practice apologizing, not blaming. (Literally)
Imagine that you screwed up. What will you say? Work on taking responsibility.
Always turn toward the future after apologizing for the past.
Get with a coach or mentor and literally practice your apology. You’re going to need it.
#3. Show up with big ears and a small mouth.
Send the following questions to the team before your first meeting.
Imagine the best team ever. How does that team treat each other?
What do we expect from each other?
What will we do when someone drops the ball?
How do we want to feel about our team? What behaviors are likely to foster those feelings?
How will we make decisions?
Tip: Learn how to run meetings people love to attend.
How does an ant move an elephant? With lots of help.
What are some stupid things people do when managing a new team?
What suggestions do you have for a young manager taking on a new team?

An Opportunity to Recover and Build Back Better” to share the findings of the 2021 U.S. Energy Employment Report (USEER). The study began in 2016 to better track and understand employment within key energy sectors. Today’s release marks the return of the report management to the agency, after being produced externally since 2017. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy sector had been one of the country’s fastest growing job markets. From 2015 to 2019, the annual growth rate for energy employment in the United States was 3%—double compared to 1.5% in the general economy. In 2020, following wide-spread economic losses due to the pandemic, USEER analysis shows that by the end of the year, the energy sector was already rebounding—adding back 560,000 jobs.

2020 was a year like we have never seen before, but even so we continued to see innovation that will drive the future of semiconductors (and semiconductor design). Fabs are filled and companies are struggling to keep pace with the market needs for new technology. The remote working model of many semiconductor designers leads to new ways of thinking about how to collaborate on design, and will also ultimately lead to cross collaboration amongst companies as well.

Automobiles and electronics have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent semiconductor shortage. A previous paper from AIR touched on the economic ramifications from the Covid-19 pandemic as a stark reminder of the importance in understanding complex vulnerabilities in today’s interconnected world.
The beginning of the pandemic lockdown in 2020 led to a sudden drop in manufacturing due to hastily canceled orders and just-in-time practices. However, demand for silicon chips rose due to pandemic working conditions as consumers increased their use of laptop computers, 5G phones, gaming systems, and other IT equipment. By Q3 2020, demand for semiconductors had surged, creating a V-shaped recovery for personal computers, mobile devices, automobiles, and wireless communications.

Microchips, also called semiconductors or integrated circuits, can be thinner than a human hair and smaller than a postage stamp, but their power can be immeasurable. They play a significant role in the advancement of the consumer technologies sector and, most importantly, in the development of more sophisticated branches of technology with potentially significant implications for national security, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. Therefore, although domestic and foreign policy might not always be connected, in the case of the U.S. semiconductor industry, domestic decisions are vital both for U.S. national security and for the evolution of great power relations in general, and U.S.-China relations in particular.
