Harvard Business Review Announces 2022’s Most-Watched Videos, Most-Read Articles & More

Harvard Business Review, the monthly general management magazine published by Harvard Business Publishing, has published multiple year-end lists that may be of interest to MBAs or MBA applicants.

In “HBR’s Most-Watched Videos Of 2022,” HBR Editors write: “What exactly is strategy, again? How do I handle difficult conversations with really difficult coworkers? What can a very winning Formula One team leader teach me about management?

“These are a cross section of questions answered by some of HBR’s 10 most popular videos made in 2022. By design, our videos cover a little of everything that HBR has to offer, from research-based business theory, to wisdom from top performers in their fields, to nitty-gritty tactics for surviving another day in an imperfect world of work. This year, our 10 most popular videos fit into these three categories: What is…?, How do I…?, and How do they…?”

In “Our Favorite Management Tips Of 2022,” the editors offer 10 popular pieces of advice from their daily newsletter; and in “HBR’s Most-Read Research Articles Of 2022,” writer Danny Dukach writes: “For many of us, the arrival of a new year can be equal parts inspiring and daunting. While the promise of a fresh start is often welcome, it’s also a reminder of all the challenges we faced in the last 12 months — and all those still awaiting us, that we have yet to overcome.

“But as we set about drafting our New Year’s resolutions, it’s helpful to remember all the progress we’ve already made. Indeed, we’ve all faced countless hurdles over the last year, from navigating our own shifting identities and priorities to combatting persistent inequities in the world around us. And HBR has published dozens of research-backed articles offering insights and strategies to help us address the most pressing issues we face as individuals, managers, and leaders. So as 2022 comes to a close, we decided to take a look at the research questions that resonated most with our readers over course of the last year.”
