STORY: Seven Stale Management Phrases That Need to be Junked in
'21

As the calendar turns to 2021, it's high time managers
deep-sixed several corner office catch-phrases that don't do
management and staffers any good.

From "we don't pay you to think" to "taking a helicopter view"
to "peeling the onion", here are the seven top management
catchphrases that have reached their shelf life in 2021 - and
belong in the dustbin of business history.

. . . We're looking to pinpoint the stalest, useless, outdated,
and ineffective (even insulting) business catchphrases managers
and staffers use in the workplace. What are the most egregious
catchphrases (like "we're not paying you to think") and why
should they be retired in 2021.

This is pretty simple from a pitching standpoint. All we need
are business experts to list their most onerous and tiresome
catchphrases on the job - and explain why they need to go.

If you like, please list any catchphrases you do like and why -
either new or one with history behind it.

Thanks for your help in advance . . .

Business experts, business owners, managers, executives,
communications experts, persuaders, influencers, and career

Query:

STORY: Enforcing a Company's Rules -Written and Unwritten - In a
Remote Working World.

One growing area of concern for company managers in the age of
COVID-19 is figuring out how to enforce company rules, both
written and unwritten, when team members may be taking some
liberties with company rules and face to face enforcement
meetings are hard to come by.

How can managers establish order and discipline in a wide-open
workplace culture? It's not easy, but there are some management
tactics to deploy when wayward staffers step over the line,
rules and regulations-wise.

We're looking for business leaders, owners, and managers to
weight in on "unwritten rules" in the workplace (i.e., don't
speak ill of another team member or don't take credit for
another person's work, for example).

1. What are your most important unwritten rules and how do you
enforce them in an increasingly remote workplace?

2. What's it like enforcing any rules in the workplace these
days? Are employees taking advantage of remote work to let
certain ethical standards slide?

3. What enforcement standards are you finding effective or
ineffective in setting rules, written or unwritten, on the job
in a remote job culture?

4. What are your most common rules that are not being followed
these days? (i.e., not dressing appropriately or starting work
too late and leaving work too early, for example.)

5. As a manager, what's it like enforcing rules, written or
unwritten, in a remote working world? What are your biggest
impediments and why?

Thanks in advance . . .

Name: Erik Martin CTW Features

Category: General

Email: query-brv8@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 20 January

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
homesharing experts, interview mortgage lending experts, real
estate faculty, real estate agents/Realtors, real estate
attorneys, and other professionals for the following story:

How homesharing can feather your retirement nest. New data by
Silvernest, an online roommate-matching service that connects
older adults with long-term, compatible housemates, found that
even before the pandemic, many adults faced a retirement
shortage, and their financial situation has been compounded by
the outbreak. However, while many retirees and pre-retirees may
be cash poor right now, many are house rich. In fact, 80% of
boomers owns a home and there are 3.6 million spare rooms in the
top 100 housing markets. But by renting out their unused space,
homeowners can earn an average of $10,000 a year that can be
used to catch up on mortgage payments, make home upgrades or
fill their retirement savings gap. This article will provide
tips for evaluating whether a retirement roommate is right for
you, steps for entering into a homesharing arrangement during
Covid, leveraging your home to offset your mortgage, and more.

I can only accept written responses (full-sentences that I can
use as quotes) via email to the following questions. My deadline
is noon central, Wednesday, January 20, 2021.

QUESTIONS: 1. What is "homesharing," (charging rent for and
sharing a residence with someone else) and how does it work? 2.
What did you find interesting or surprising about any of the
previously mentioned study findings? 3. Why is homesharing a
good idea? Who are the best candidates for homesharing and why?
4. What detailed tips and steps, in order, would you suggest to
readers who are considering a homesharing strategy? 5. What
detailed tips would you suggest to people who might be
interested in paying rent and co-occupying someone else's home?
6. What special precautions should be taken by either party when
it comes to coronavirus, security, finances, legality, etc.? 7.
What realistic act should homesharing prospects have and why? 8.
What should be avoided here or considered carefully? 9. Any
other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 10. What is
your full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

Expect robust housing demand for the foreseeable future. A new
report by Zillow (details at
http://zillow.mediaroom.com/2020-12-01-Why-Housing-Demand-Will-Likely-Stay-High-for-Years-to-Come)
reveals that there are 5.7 million "missing" households since

since the Great Recession, and the 5.7 million "missing"
households since that time are likely to boost housing demand
for at least the next several years. This story will include

effects/consequences of continued and increased demand for
housing over the next few years? How is this good news and if
so, for whom? Who will this benefit? How is this bad news in any
way? 4. What are your predictions when it comes to housing
demand for the foreseeable future, and why? 5. What would need
to happen for housing demand to decrease in any significant way
in the coming years? 6. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions
on this topic? 7. What is your full name, title, company,
city/state location, and email address?

Name: Erik Martin CTW Features

Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 14 January

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview home flipping experts, housing professionals, mortgage
lending experts, real estate faculty, real estate
agents/Realtors, real estate attorneys, and other professionals
for the following story:

Home flipping profits are up - so why is flipping less popular?
New numbers from ATTOM Data Solutions (details at
https://www.attomdata.com/news/market-trends/flipping/attom-data-solutions-q3-2020-u-s-home-flipping-report/)
show that, while home-flipping activity overall dropped in the
third quarter of this year, gross returns for flippers soared to
the highest level in 20 years. The gross profit on the typical
home flip nationwide (the difference between the median sales
price and the median paid by investors) rose in the third
quarter of 2020 to $73,766 - the highest amount since at least
2000. That amount was up from $69,000 in the second quarter of
2020 and from $61,800 in the third quarter of last year. The
drop in activity was likely due to the severe shortage of homes
for sale, especially on the lower end of the market, where
flippers generally like to play. This story will cover the
significant findings and offer analyses from experts as to why
these trends are happening, as well as tips for prospective
flippers in the current real estate climate.

I can only accept written responses (full-sentences that I can
use as quotes) via email to the following questions. My deadline
is 2 PM central, Thursday, January 14, 2021.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or surprising about
any of the previously mentioned report findings? 2. Why do you
believe that home flipping appears to be less popular, even
though flipping profits are up? What factors are behind these
trends? 3. What kind of a year do you think 2021 will be for
home flippers overall? Why? 4. What can/should prospective home
flippers be thinking about carefully or even avoiding if they
want to decrease their risks and maximize profits this year? 5.
Who are good candidates for home flippers in 2021 and why? 6.
What advice would you give to prospective flippers when it comes
to searching for and committing to properties worthy of flipping
in 2021? 7. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this
topic? 8. What is your full name, title, company, city/state
location, and email address?

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-brq7@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 13 January

Query:

This piece will combine anecdotes with hard numbers on why it's
ridiculous so many guys continue to think that their maleness
automatically makes them more knowledgeable about
fitness/health/strength training than the women in their lives.
And that unsolicited advice, especially from someone without
extensive professional/personal knowledge (high school football
weight room skills don't count, sorry) isn't helpful or
appropriate to dole out.

I'm specifically looking for COVID-ERA examples from WOMEN who
have been running into this problem now that they're stuck at
home more for their workouts and/or are limited to their
significant other as a workout partner due to smaller social
circles/interactions. I'm especially looking for flagrant
examples (for instance, a woman who's a certified trainer
getting "tips" from her non-certified boyfriend/spouse/partner
on how to workout "better"/differently; or a woman who has been
working out for years getting unsolicited advice from her
boyfriend/significant other when he hasn't stepped foot inside a
gym since he played football in HS 30 years ago). I'll only have
room for one or two stories, but I'd love to hear whatever
you've got! (Please include the actual story/anecdote in your
email -- I won't be able to answer those who don't provide the
actual anecdote).

Hello,

We're eager to do a story about which type of coffee is best for
burning fat and ultimately weight loss. We've read this study
here, which suggests that Dark Roast coffee is indeed better at
burning fat.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21809439/

Given that it's published in 2011. Is this still valid?

Also, we're seeing other, more recent studies, argue that light
roast is healthier overall:

Focusing primarily on weight loss and fat burn, which type of
coffee is indeed best--and why?

Would love your answer soonest! Thank you, in advance, for your

professional about the steps owners of these establishments
should take to ensure customers are kept safe during COVID. And
what can customers do to be safe, including asking the right
questions ahead of time and what to look for upon arrival? My
deadline for filing this story is 1/20/21 so I am hoping to
speak with someone over the next few days. A call should take
just 15-20 minutes.

154) Summary: New Hotels in the Covid Era

Name: Sarah Firshein The New York Times - Travel

Category: Travel

Email: query-brug@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The New York Times - Travel

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 13 January

Query:

I'm reporting a feature about hotels that have opened (or are
opening) during COVID -- what are the operational challenges and
advantages? Is it easier or harder to come out of the gate with
Covid measures in place, rather than retrofit a property,
re-train staff, recalculate revenue projections, and so on?

Requirements:

As the piece will be an industry deep-dive, I'm looking for very
specific sources:

1. Hotel leadership who can speak beyond the talking points and
chat candidly about what it's like opening a hotel when the
pandemic is all one knows (so far). I'd like to really get into
operational details, from placement of tables in F/B outlets to
how housekeeping and front-desk staff are trained. (No vague
C-suite sound bites, please!)

2. Any hotel feature must be new since Covid or about to open
(as in, built out and staffed up).

3. I'm also open to speaking with one or two anecdotal travelers
who have stayed at a brand-new hotel since the pandemic began.
(No travel bloggers or anyone in travel media, please.)

4. Note this is not a roundup of new hotels, so please do not
pitch me for this feature unless there's a great (i.e. fun,
articulate, colorful, interesting, engaging) staffer who's
willing to chat!

What are some of the most interesting hotels for die-hard art
