Tim Maly reviewed Google Engineering's new London offices designed by PENSON., which he finds to be a "giddy exercise in science fiction set decoration".

Also, Sherin Wing dissected the reasons why there are fewer women in upper management or boardroom positions for our latest CONTOURS feature The Gender Gap in Top Management. Sherin then provides some examples—good and bad—from three management areas (managing personnel, communication and managing projects) "of leadership qualities potential leaders exhibit and how these qualities are nurtured and supported within a firm."
