• The Minority Rule and Social MediaSeptember 28, 2020
  A small human in a big world We are the same species of primates that lived in tribes of hunters and gatherers. When there was a problem with one of our tribes-people, we solved it as a tribe.

• Mismatched MotivationsSeptember 21, 2020
  Why you’re unmotivated We spend our days striving – gunning for that promotion, gambling for likes, chasing the dollar, subtly peacocking for attention, and playing stupid games with others. All for the things WE want… right? We don’t spend enough time thinking about our genuine desires – what they are and why we have them.Continue reading “Mismatched Motivations”
• Self-Improvement: The Great FraudJune 1, 2020
  The Cycle We’re addicted to self-improvement. Every time we reach our intended goal, we set another. We fill ourselves up with inspiration, optimism, and hope as we take the next step forward.

• The Fragility of Efficient TeamsApril 15, 2020
  I was stunned. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization tweeted “There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with intl. travel and trade.” The news of the virus ravaging Wuhan, China did not show enough “evidence” for the WHO to take any action, exposing the world to systemic risk.

• A Cold Person’s Guide to Building EmpathyMarch 6, 2020
  Throughout my career, I have worked with hundreds of leaders and have found a common theme. Though many do well, some work way too hard for the same results. The amount of pressure they apply isn’t equal to the output. Working hard is overrated. Everyone works hard. What matters most is good decision-making and leverage. Continue reading “A Cold Person’s Guide to Building Empathy”
• Deciding on EmotionFebruary 20, 2020
  You can’t survive without emotion A common theme in our world is to “ignore your emotions”, especially when it comes to making decisions. I’ve heard it constantly in business, games, and life.
