Cal Newport has his theories, Samsung executives have theirs. Samsung executives' theories about how to run Samsung are more valuable than Cal Newport's because they know Samsung better than he does.
- chilldsgn 3y agoIt's why I said I am curious to see the outcome of this. Will it help the company or damage it? We'll see.
- Ma8ee 3y agoThat’s such a weird take. It’s like saying that I know more about repairing my car than the mechanic because I drive it every day. That the executives of Samsung run the company doesn’t mean that they are experts in how the brains of their employees work.
- sandspar 3y agoCal Newport is a self help author. He's not comparable to a mechanic. Samsung executives are working there. They are mechanics.
- Ma8ee 3y agoAre taxi drivers mechanics because they work in and with their cars all day? And while it’s not inaccurate to call Newport a self help author, he has studied, thought, and written about the subject for many years.
- koonsolo 3y agoCal Newport is very much into doing mentally demanding work, which arguably cannot be sustained for a huge amount of time. Managers... well... sitting and talking in meetings, that you can do call day. So yeah, plan some extra meetings in the weekend, no problem. If that will help things will be another question.
