 Morten Hansen : I think it owes  in some part  to ingrained norms  in particular our enduring workplace traditions. Although we live in an age of perpetual âdisruption â so much of how people work today is old  born at the dawn of the industrial revolution. The dreaded performance review  for instance  dates from at least the 1940s and draws intellectually from Frederick Taylorâs work on scientific management during the early 20th century. Ethical codes and other rules of professional conduct originated in the 19th century  when modern professions were first taking shape. Technology is now upending many of these conventions  and many people are pushing beyond âbusiness as usualâ and questioning how work gets done. And yet  change is slow  and much of the traditional edifice of work remains in place.
 Hansen : In Great at Work  I set out four âwork smarterâ practices that relate directly to how well individuals get their own work done. In organizing our efforts  for instance  we can choose to restrict the scope of our work and to obsess to excel over the few priorities weâve selected (a practice I call âDo Less  Then Obsessâ). Of course  that is not easy to do when people constantly ask for help  request meetings  and when your boss keeps on giving you more to do. The best handle this by becoming good at saying âno.â Thatâs a key skill to learn to succeed in todayâs hectic workplace.
 Hansen : When I began the research described in this book  I posed a simple question: Why do some people perform better at work than others? As my study progressed  and the answers to this question came into focus  I noticed an interesting pattern: Many of the top performers my research team and I interviewed  the ones who embraced the seven âwork smarterâ practices outlined in the book  realized benefits that extended well beyond their work performance. They were less stressed out  more balanced  and more satisfied with their job.

Q: Even with a deadly car bombing and other mayhem marring the day -- the deadline for the American troop pullback under a Jan. 1 agreement -- Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki seized on the occasion to position himself as a proud leader of a country independent at last  looking ahead to the next milestone of parliamentary elections in January.
 He made no mention of American troops in a nationally televised speech  even though nearly 130 000 remain in the country; most had already pulled back from Iraq's cities before Tuesday's deadline.
 In a national address  al-Maliki focused his praise on Iraqi troops and security forces for their role in fighting the insurgency. "The national united government succeeded in putting down the sectarian war that was threatening the unity and the sovereignty of Iraq " he said  as if the United States had played no role.
 President Barack Obama  who ran for office on a pledge to end the war  marked the occasion with minimal fanfare  declaring it "an important milestone" even as he warned of "difficult days ahead."
 "The Iraqi people are rightly treating this day as cause for celebration " he said.
 The withdrawal did not command its own presidential appearance -- his brief remarks were delivered at a ceremony honoring entrepreneurs -- a marked contrast with his predecessor  who rarely missed an opportunity to celebrate milestones in Iraq.
 Military experts anticipate more violence in the days ahead. Maliki's effort to capitalize on Iraq's latent anti-Americanism and to extol the abilities of his troops is a risky strategy. If it turns out that Iraqi troops cannot control the violence  al-Maliki will be vulnerable to criticism from rivals -- both if he has to ask the Americans to return but also if he fails to enforce security without them.
 Some American commanders have said they were taken aback by al-Malikial-Maliki's insistence on taking credit for all the security successes in Iraq  but they also see the importance of having him and Iraqi troops appear strong  especially in the face of multiple insurgent factions intent on destabilizing the government.
 Gen. Raymond T. Odierno brushed aside the dismissive tone of Iraqi leaders' public remarks about the Americans  saying that al-Maliki had personally thanked him on Monday night and again on Tuesday for the sacrifices American troops have made.

Q: Sean Spicer has some regrets.
âDid I make mistakes? Absolutely â  Spicer  said Monday in an interview with MSNBC.
âI regret things that I did that brought embarrassment to  myself   my family  friends of mine who have been very big supporters â  he  added.
âI think  frankly  when you have a job like that  Craig  the thing that no one can fully appreciate until youâre in the job is that youâre representing the American peopleâ¦ and when you screw upâ¦ itâs not just on you. Itâs now going in and having to tell the President of the United States  âHey  I embarrassed  myself   your administration and in some cases  I think did something the American people are not pleased with.'â
Melvin had asked  Spicer  to watch a highlight reel of his âgreatest hitsâ as press secretary â which included clips of him repeatedly defending the presidential inauguration numbers and his infamous claim that Adolf Hitler didnât use chemical weapons â before questioning him about his time in the Trump administration.

âYou made some mistakes â Melvin told  Spicer  at the end of the video.
âNo â replied  Spicer . âI think in terms of net  I enjoyed having a front-row seat to history. Was an opportunity of a lifetime.â
 Spicer  added  âThe funny part is  in most of the clips that you played  when I screwed up and walked in and said  Mr. President  I need to tell you thatâ¦Heâd say âI say it  I know what you meant  and I know you were trying.â Most of the time he actually said  âHey  I know you were trying really hard. Weâll get over this.â Thatâs what made me actually get through a lot of it  was knowing that he actually was forgiving in a lot of my mistakes.â
