Vaccination libertarians. Interesting. At least that's an understandable, rational argument.

He didn't work to change his opinions at all, if you read the article. He simply came up with a strategy to try to change others opinions in a different way. This ain't no artist.

You're thinking too logically. It is a human connection you're building with empathy, not a strategy. Play the long game.

This article doesn't really dive into the issue in a real, honest way. Vaccinations are generally a public health benefit, no doubt about it, but there's also much we don't understand about how the immune system works. It&#x2

The idea that each project we tackle is unique and a special snowflake is an illusion. In reality, most of the factors that influence the outcomes are exactly the same. Same team, same knowledge, same approaches, same psychological biases,

I think it was all in good fun, and everyone is making way too big a deal out of it.

I guarantee our ops team will not make infrastructure buying decisions based on the quality of their aerospace side-projects.

What begets all three? Improve the system, improve the world [cheap, fast, good] lives in. Still have to balance, but you're now balancing cheaper, faster, and gooder.

That's a good point, but it has two issues you should consider. First, the industrial world also had significant issues with project definition and understanding. The problems were not already solved, and the process, inputs, outputs

Bingo. When we think about the steps intuitively, we tend to gravitate toward the median. "How long does this usually take?" is asking about a median in surprisingly precise terms. Instead we have to understand the distribution, a

In behavior as well -- you are correct.

Kind of proud that this man signed my diploma.

Excellent analysis. This simplifies management down to a black and white, rigid, mechanical chopping block. This isn't fit for anyone doing business in today's world.

A far better question is, how do you create an environment that helps flawed people improve? Most people have flaws. It's 'consistent and effective ways for getting rid of them' that drives them crazy in the first place. One

Three questions: 1. Why are workers toxic? Is it something you're born with, or something that you have when you are hired? Is it unchanging, black and white, true or false—or can it change over time or be impacted by the environment?

This is a feedback loop. It will not slow or reverse without systemic intervention.

They'll be happy to help you out. Get ahold of their repair department and if they need to it'll get back to the quality department for the special request. They love that stuff.

This is very eloquent. Thanks for articulating.

You're right that a lot of it is up to the individual. My point was that people already want to do work that is good—whatever that means to you. Yes, it can be sophistic bull to call it all those lofty things, but in the end I think ev

Individuals can make a huge difference from the bottom up. It's way more difficult, but it's possible. At the very least, make a lot of noise until someone savvy and powerful starts listening.

"culture" with a small c is a lie, but "Culture" with a capital C is real. Work should be real, meaningful, and authentic. It should be intrinsically motivating, and it should drive respect for people and a desire to do

Yes, Chaos as in the acceptance of the absence of systems to guide the whole in the correct direction. Chaos and circumstance formed the intent without any single person deciding; classic mob effect. There needs to be a system to prevent th

It just dawned on me that "current" is exactly like the flow of water in a river, also called "current." It's already a flow of charge.

Organizations are not people. They have a mind of their own, independent of individuals and yet controlled by the autopilot psychology of humans, unless systemically organized otherwise. Things like this happen every day in organizations al

This is a beautiful way to present scientific study, much more so than traditional methods! I'd love to see this trend of clarity and storytelling continue for more studies and experimental efforts.

Ironic that the article is from Mark Simonson, whose Proxima Nova is, quite frankly, the Helvetica of the Internet age.

Any system implemented without an understanding of how systems work, and how humans interact with them, will be painful. We need systems thinking, not any one prescribed process.
