Culture Architect turns company culture into observable behaviors, measurable health, and rituals that scale; run mission/vision/value workshops, translate values into concrete actions, build culture codes, assess cultural health, and design rituals whenever values, culture debt, or founder-driven culture need alignment.

A comprehensive framework for high-stakes negotiation, drawing from tactical empathy and behavioral science. It teaches users how to move beyond logical arguments by understanding the emotional drivers and underlying needs of the counterpart. Techniques include tactical empathy, mirroring, calibrated questioning, and accusation audits. Ideal for salary negotiations, contract discussions, sales objections, and difficult conversations, ensuring you uncover hidden information and build genuine rapport to achieve better outcomes.

A powerful cognitive tool that moves beyond surface-level brainstorming. It forces users to systematically deconstruct complex problems down to their 'irreducible truths.' The skill identifies 8-12 hidden assumptions (Surface, Middle, Deep), classifies them (Fact, Convention, Belief, Interest-Driven), and ranks them by Fragility × Impact. This process allows users to stress-test their premises and rebuild conclusions based only on verified realities, making it invaluable for major life decisions or business hypothesis testing.

This advanced skill provides a rigorous framework for assessing whether an organizational or management research manuscript is suitable for highly selective, theory-driven journals like the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ). It guides authors on necessary theoretical framing, methodological rigor (e.g., endogeneity, causal inference), structural improvements, and common pitfalls to avoid, significantly improving submission quality and maximizing acceptance chances.

This guide provides a structured methodology for articulating the unique and marginal contribution of a scholarly paper, particularly within macroeconomics. It teaches authors how to bridge the gap between theoretical modeling (quantitative-theory) and data-driven evidence (identified-empirical), ensuring that the novelty and scope are clearly communicated to a broad, general expert audience.

A structured guide for academic researchers to scope and sanity-check research ideas for top-tier management journals like the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ). It ensures the topic is theory-driven, empirically feasible, and addresses a theoretical tension, helping authors elevate a vague idea into a publishable, impactful scholarly question.

This guide provides late-stage polishing for academic manuscripts, specifically targeting the Academy of Management Review (AMR) house style. It helps transform drafts that read like literature reviews or essays into tightly structured, argument-driven theoretical pieces. Key focus areas include establishing a clear theoretical puzzle in the introduction, maintaining continuous argumentative flow, ensuring precise definition of constructs, and articulating propositions without using hypothesis language. It is crucial for authors who need to refine their prose and structure before final subm...

A comprehensive guide for researchers developing manuscripts in Accounting, Organizations, and Society (AOS). It teaches how to select, deeply inhabit, and generate analysis using established social or organizational theories (e.g., Institutional Theory, Bourdieu, Foucault). The goal is to ensure the theory is the generative engine of the paper, rather than merely decorative framing. This framework guides the transition from description to rigorous, theory-driven contribution.

A comprehensive guide for authors on how to successfully propose or accept an invitation to write a review article for the Annual Review of Sociology (ARSoc). It details the unique commissioning-driven process, outlining what constitutes a Committee-ready topic pitch. Learn how to structure your pitch, including the organizing spine, provisional conclusions, and strategic steps to maximize your chances of being commissioned.

This guide details the specific structure and rigor required for writing systems papers for top-tier academic conferences like ATC. It emphasizes the need for a self-standing, two-page abstract (Round One) and a full-paper narrative that is purely implementation and measurement driven. Key principles include quantifying costs alongside gains, structuring the narrative from problem to impact, and rigorously supporting claims with real-world evidence.

This skill guides researchers through the critical pre-writing process of evaluating a scientific finding's scope, mechanistic depth, and significance. It stress-tests whether the work constitutes a complete, hypothesis-driven story suitable for top-tier journals, helping authors determine if they need to strengthen the mechanism, collect more converging evidence, or adjust their target journal venue.

A comprehensive guide for structuring literature reviews and clearly positioning novel contributions for top-tier academic journals. It emphasizes the critical "dual-lane" approach: analyzing both local Chinese academic literature and global international research findings. Learn how to define the gap, state the methodological increment, and articulate the unique findings in a structured, dialogue-driven manner, anticipating reviewer questions.
