6 days agoThe person who always offers to drive, always picks the restaurant, always plans the trip is rarely the controlling one in the group. They're the one who learned early that if they didn't organize the connection, the connection simply wouldn't happen. - Silicon Canals
The organizer in a friend group often acts out of learned necessity to maintain connections, not from a desire for control or leadership.

2 months agoThe Case For Becoming a Project-Based Org
Well, our guest today argues that the best way is by moving to a more project-driven model of work, up and down the organization from the corporate level to individual teams. He wants us to both ruthlessly prioritize as well as stay fluid so that we're identifying strategic goals, assembling teams to go after them, evaluating as we go, and then either continuing, shifting, or disbanding based on our outcomes.

2 months agoMake stealing time a crime: How to protect your most valuable resource
I'm always amazed at how easily we give our time to others without thinking, and then are mad later when it was wasted. What exactly did we think was going to happen? That everyone was going to be prepared, productive, and appreciative? Time has become the ultimate luxury-we never have enough of it, and are jealous of those that have it. For too many of us, endless meetings, back-to-back emails, and constant interruptions leave little room for focused, meaningful work.

1 month agoOne Team Keeps Boycotting My Meetings. This Feels Personal.
No wonder it feels personal that this team rejects your efforts. It is personal; it's happening to you. But it's not about you. This team might have so much internal tension that they can't stand to be in a meeting together. Maybe they had a bad experience with your predecessor. They might think they know it all already and attending meetings is just wasting their time. Or it could really be as straightforward as what they've told you: Their working hours and training times are already used up.

2 months agoWhy your AI project is about to get deprioritized (and how to save it)
Your AI pilot showed 94% accuracy improvements. The LLM is yielding solid results. You're getting defunded anyway. The reason? You solved a problem AI can solve. Your budget-holder needed you to solve theirs. Companies launch AI pilots that produce results, then stall at scale. The team's diagnosis: "They don't get it." What's really going on: These projects never earned budget-holder buy-in.
